Safari Ball Roams Wild Area in Pokémon GO

The highly anticipated Pokémon GO Wild Area event is almost here, and the star of the show is undoubtedly the Safari Ball – the game's seventh Poké Ball! This article dives into the details of this new event and its unique addition.

What is the Pokémon GO Safari Ball?

Long-time Pokémon fans will recognize Safari Zones from the main series games. These special areas allowed players to catch rare Pokémon without battling. Niantic is recreating this experience with the Wild Area event.

Pokémon GO has seen limited new Poké Ball additions. The standard Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, Premier Balls, and the coveted Master Ball are the current options. The Safari Ball marks a significant addition.

The Wild Area event runs globally from November 23rd to November 24th, 2024, concluding at 6:15 pm local time. However, any unused Safari Balls will vanish from your inventory after the event ends.

During the event, the Safari Ball will be the preferred tool for catching powerful Pokémon. The decision to introduce the Safari Ball in a new event, rather than the existing Safari Zone and City Safari events, is intriguing.

The Safari Ball's design remains undisclosed. However, many speculate it will feature the familiar green camouflage pattern from the main series games. Only time will reveal the truth! Share your predictions in the comments.
