Pokémon GO Unveils Safari Ball for Wild Area Extravaganza

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 details everything you need to know about this exciting new event and its unique addition.

What's the Pokémon GO Safari Ball All About?

Long-time Pokémon fans will recognize the "Safari Zone" concept from the main series games. These special areas allowed for catching rare Pokémon without battling. Niantic is recreating this experience with the new Wild Area event.

Pokémon GO has seen relatively few new Poké Ball additions over the years. Players regularly use the standard 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 24th, 2024, concluding at 6:15 pm local time. However, any unused Safari Balls will vanish from your inventory once the event ends.

During the event, the Safari Ball becomes the ideal tool for capturing powerful Pokémon. The strategic decision to introduce this ball in a new event, rather than existing Safari Zone or City Safari events, is intriguing.

While the ball's design remains undisclosed, many players anticipate a green camouflage style, mirroring its appearance in the core games. Only time will reveal the truth! Share your predictions in the comments below.
