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 addition.
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 the capture of rare Pokémon without battling. Niantic is replicating this concept with the Wild Area event.
Pokémon GO has been relatively conservative with new Poké Ball additions. The standard options are the Poké Ball, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball, along with 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 will vanish from your inventory after the event ends.
During the event, the Safari Ball will be the preferred tool for catching powerful Pokémon. The decision to introduce this ball in 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 main series games. Only time will reveal the truth! Share your predictions in the comments.
