Pokémon GO Safari Ball Event Returns for Wild Area Adventure

The highly anticipated Pokémon GO Wild Area event is almost here, and the spotlight is firmly on the Safari Ball – the game's seventh Poké Ball! This article dives into the details of this new event and its exciting new addition.

What is the Pokémon GO Safari Ball?

Veteran Pokémon players will recognize Safari Zones from the main series games. These special areas allow for rare Pokémon captures without battles – a feature Niantic is recreating with the Wild Area event.

Pokémon GO has seen limited Poké Ball additions. Regularly used balls include the Poké Ball, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball, along with Premier Balls and the coveted Master Ball.

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

During the event, the Safari Ball becomes the key to catching powerful Pokémon. Niantic's decision to introduce it in a new event, rather than existing Safari Zone or City Safari events, adds an element of surprise.

The Safari Ball's design remains a mystery, though many speculate it will feature the familiar green camouflage pattern seen in the main games. Only time will tell! Share your predictions in the comments.
