Safari Ball Returns to Pokémon GO

The highly anticipated Pokémon GO Wild Area 2024 event is almost here, and the star of the show is undoubtedly the Safari Ball – the game's seventh Poké Ball! This article unveils everything you need to know about this exciting event and its unique addition.

What's the Pokémon GO Safari Ball All About?

Veteran Pokémon players will recognize Safari Zones from the main series games. These special areas allow capturing rare Pokémon without battles – a feature Niantic is replicating in their new Wild Area event.

Pokémon GO has seen limited Poké Ball additions over time. Regular options include the standard Poké Ball, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball, alongside 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. However, any unused Safari Balls vanish from your inventory once the event ends.

During the event, the Safari Ball becomes the ideal tool for catching powerful Pokémon. Niantic's decision to introduce the Safari Ball in a new event, rather than established Safari Zone or City Safari events, is intriguing.

The ball's design remains a mystery, although many speculate it will mirror the green camouflage style familiar to fans of the core games. Only time will reveal the truth! Share your predictions in the comments.
