Safari Ball Returns to Wild Area in 2024

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?

Long-time Pokémon fans will recognize Safari Zones from the main series games. These special areas allow for catching rare Pokémon without battles. Niantic is replicating this concept with the new Wild Area event.

Pokémon GO hasn't introduced many new Poké Balls. The standard lineup includes the Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, 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. A crucial detail: any unused Safari Balls vanish from your inventory after the event ends.

During the event, the Safari Ball becomes the preferred tool for capturing powerful Pokémon. The 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 iconic green camouflage pattern seen in the main series games. Only time will reveal the truth! Share your predictions in the comments.
