Safari Ball Returns to Pokémon GO Wilderness!

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 for the capture of rare Pokémon without battling – a feature Niantic is cleverly recreating with their Wild Area event.

Pokémon GO hasn't seen many new Poké Ball additions. The standard lineup includes the Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, Premier Balls, and the coveted Master Ball. The Safari Ball marks a significant addition to this roster.

The global Wild Area event runs from November 23rd to November 24th, 2024, concluding at 6:15 pm local time. A crucial detail: any unused Safari Balls vanish from your inventory once the event ends.

During the event, the Safari Ball becomes the preferred tool for catching powerful Pokémon. Niantic's decision to introduce this ball within a new event, rather than existing Safari Zone or City Safari events, adds an intriguing element.

The Safari Ball's design remains a mystery, though speculation among Pokémon GO players points towards the classic green camouflage pattern familiar from the core games. Only time will reveal the truth! Share your predictions in the comments below.
