Get ready for the Pokémon GO Wild Area 2024 event! The highlight? The Safari Ball makes its debut as the game's seventh Poké Ball. Read on for details on this exciting event and its unique new 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 catching rare Pokémon without battles – a concept Niantic is bringing to Pokémon GO with the Wild Area event.
Pokémon GO hasn't seen many new Poké Ball types. We regularly use the standard Poké Ball, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball. Premier Balls exist, and the Master Ball remains the rarest.
The Wild Area event runs globally from November 23rd to November 24th, 2024, ending at 6:15 pm local time. Important note: Unused Safari Balls vanish from your inventory after the event concludes.
During the event, the Safari Ball becomes essential for catching powerful Pokémon. Niantic's decision to introduce it during a new event, rather than existing Safari Zone or City Safari events, is intriguing.
The ball's design remains a mystery, although many speculate it will feature the green camouflage familiar from the main series games. Only time will tell! Share your predictions in the comments.
In the meantime, download Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store. And check out our coverage of the Tactical RPG Haze Reverb's global pre-registration!
