Get ready for the Pokémon GO Wild Area 2024 event! The highlight? The highly anticipated Safari Ball makes its debut as the seventh Poké Ball in the game. This article covers everything you need to know about this exciting event and its unique new addition.
What's the Pokémon GO Safari Ball?
Longtime Pokémon fans will recognize Safari Zones from the main series games. These special areas allow for catching rare Pokémon without battles – a feature Niantic is recreating with the Wild Area event.
Pokémon GO hasn't introduced many new Poké Balls. Players regularly use standard, Great, and Ultra Balls, along with Premier Balls and the coveted Master Ball. The Safari Ball joins this lineup.
Event Details & a Catch!
The global Wild Area event runs from November 23rd to November 24th, 2024, ending at 6:15 pm local time. Important: Any unused Safari Balls vanish from your inventory after the event concludes.
During the event, the Safari Ball becomes your primary tool for capturing powerful Pokémon. Niantic's decision to introduce it during a new event, rather than existing Safari Zone or City Safari events, adds an element of surprise.
The Safari Ball's design remains undisclosed, but many speculate it will feature the characteristic green camouflage seen in the main series games. Only time will reveal the truth! Share your predictions in the comments.
