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 delves into the details of this exciting 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 the capture of rare Pokémon without battling. Niantic is replicating this experience with the new Wild Area event.
Pokémon GO has seen limited additions to its Poké Ball roster. Players regularly use the standard Poké Ball, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball. Premier Balls also exist, along with 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. It's intriguing that Niantic isn't introducing these balls in existing Safari Zone or City Safari events but has opted for a new event launch.
The Safari Ball's design remains undisclosed, but many speculate it will feature the familiar green camouflage pattern from the core games. Only time will reveal the truth! Share your predictions in the comments.
