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 Poké Ball.
What's the Pokémon GO Safari Ball?
Longtime Pokémon fans will recognize Safari Zones from the main series games. These special areas allow capturing rare Pokémon without battles – a concept Niantic is recreating with the Wild Area event.
Pokémon GO has seen limited new Poké Ball additions. Players routinely use standard Poké Balls, Great Balls, Ultra Balls, Premier Balls, and the coveted Master Ball.
The Wild Area event runs globally from November 23rd to November 24th, 2024, concluding at 6:15 pm local time. Crucially, any unused Safari Balls vanish from your inventory after the event ends.
During the event, the Safari Ball becomes the preferred tool for catching powerful Pokémon. Niantic's decision to introduce the Safari Ball during a new event, rather than existing Safari Zone or City Safari events, is intriguing.
The Safari Ball's design remains a mystery, although many speculate it will feature the characteristic green camouflage pattern seen in the core games. Only time will reveal the truth! Share your predictions in the comments below.
