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 exciting new event and its unique Poké Ball.
What is the Pokémon GO Safari Ball?
Long-time Pokémon fans will recognize Safari Zones from the main series games. These special areas allow for catching rare Pokémon without battling – a feature Niantic is recreating with the Wild Area event.
Pokémon GO has seen relatively few new Poké Ball additions. Players regularly use the standard Poké Ball, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball. Premier Balls and the coveted Master Ball round out the current selection.
The Wild Area event runs globally from November 23rd to November 24th, 2024, concluding at 6:15 pm local time. A key detail: any unused Safari Balls vanish from your inventory once the event ends.
During the event, the Safari Ball will be the preferred tool for capturing powerful Pokémon. Niantic's decision to introduce the Safari Ball in a new event, rather than existing Safari Zone or City Safari events, is intriguing.
The ball's design remains a mystery, although many speculate it will feature the green camouflage pattern familiar from the main series games. Only time will reveal the truth! Share your predictions in the comments.
