Safari Ball Unveiled for Pokémon GO Wild Area Event 2024

The Pokémon GO Wild Area 2024 event is on the horizon, and the spotlight is set to shine on the much-anticipated Safari Ball. This marks the grand debut of the seventh ball in the game, sparking excitement among players. Dive in to discover everything about this upcoming event and the new Poké Ball addition.

What Is Pokémon GO Safari Ball?

If you're a seasoned Pokémon fan, you'll recall the iconic Safari Zones from the mainline games, where you could catch rare Pokémon without battling. Niantic is bringing a similar concept to life with their new Wild Area event in Pokémon GO. Historically, the game has introduced only a few new types of Poké Balls, with the standard options being the Poké Ball, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball, alongside the Premier Ball and the elusive Master Ball.

Scheduled to run globally from November 23rd to November 24th, 2024, and concluding at 6:15 pm local time, the Wild Area event introduces the Pokémon GO Safari Ball. This ball will be crucial for catching Mighty Pokémon during the event. However, be mindful that any unused Safari Balls will vanish from your inventory once the event concludes.

Interestingly, Niantic has chosen to launch the Safari Ball in this new event rather than in the traditional Pokémon GO Safari Zone or City Safari events. While the full design of the ball remains under wraps, fans speculate it will feature the green forest camouflage style characteristic of Safari Balls from the core games.
