Pokémon GO fans have more to look forward to during the upcoming Wild Area event with the introduction of the Safari Ball. The news was officially shared via a post on the game’s Twitter page on October 3, teasing the arrival of this iconic ball type. While the post was sparse on details, it featured a silhouette of the Safari Ball alongside the event’s logo.
The Safari Ball, which first appeared in Pokémon games’ Safari Zones, traditionally sports a green forest camouflage design. However, its exact appearance in Pokémon GO has yet to be revealed. Niantic has also kept quiet about whether this ball will be limited to the event or available afterward.
What has been confirmed is that the Safari Ball will be particularly effective, helping players catch powerful Pokémon with ease. Specific stats or how it compares to other Poké Balls in the game remain unknown, adding an element of mystery to the event.
The Wild Area event launches regionally in Fukuoka, Japan, on November 16-17, before its global release from November 23-24. With more features expected to be revealed soon, this event is shaping up to be one of the year’s highlights for Pokémon GO trainers.
