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 allowed players to catch rare Pokémon without battling. Niantic is recreating this experience 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. Crucially, any unused Safari Balls vanish from your inventory after the event ends.
During this event, the Safari Ball becomes the primary tool for catching powerful Pokémon. The decision to introduce the Safari Ball in a new event, rather than the established Safari Zone or City Safari events, is intriguing.
The Safari Ball's design remains a mystery, although many speculate it will feature the signature green camouflage pattern familiar to fans of the core games. Only time will reveal the truth! Share your predictions in the comments.
