The Pokémon GO Wild Area 2024 event is on the horizon, and everyone's buzzing about the new Safari Ball making its grand entrance as the seventh ball in the game. Dive in to discover everything about this exciting event and the new Poké Ball.
What Is Pokémon GO Safari Ball?
If you're a seasoned Pokémon fan, you're likely no stranger to the Safari Zones from the mainline games. These unique areas let you snag rare Pokémon without the need for battling, and that's precisely what Niantic aims to replicate with the Wild Area event.
It's worth noting that Pokémon GO hasn't introduced many new Poké Ball types over the years. The mainstays include the standard Poké Ball, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball, alongside the Premier Ball and the rarest of them all, the Master Ball.
Scheduled to run globally from November 23rd to November 24th, 2024, ending at 6:15 pm local time, the Wild Area event comes with a caveat—any unused Safari Balls will vanish from your item bag once the event concludes.
During the event, the Pokémon GO Safari Ball will be your prime tool for capturing Mighty Pokémon. It's intriguing to see Niantic opting for a new event to launch these balls, rather than integrating them into Pokémon GO Safari Zone and City Safari events.
While the full design of the ball remains under wraps, Pokémon GO enthusiasts speculate it might sport the green forest camouflage typical of the Safari Ball from the core games. What do you think? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
