How to get Go Safari Balls in Pokémon Go
As part of the “Wild Area: Global” Pokémon Go event, you can get Go Safari Balls, which have a high catch rate. We explain how to get more in our guide.
To acquire Go Safari Balls in Pokémon Go, you can obtain them during special Wild Area events. These balls, inspired by the regular camouflaged-print Safari Balls from mainline games, can only be utilized during the specific event hours. Once the event concludes, these balls vanish, so make sure to use them before November 15th at 6 p.m. in your local time.
Go Safari Balls are enhanced Poké Balls with a superior catch rate, significantly better than an Ultra Ball. They prove especially effective against powerful Pokémon, which are also introduced as part of the Go Wild Area event. However, you can employ them for catching any type of Pokémon, including Galarian birds, which have notoriously low catch rates. To maximize your chances of catching these elusive birds, remember to use your Daily Adventure Incense during the event period.
If you hold a paid Go Wild Area ticket, Premier Balls will be replaced with Go Safari Balls during raids and Max Battles. Be aware that any leftover balls will be discarded and won't be retained for other encounters. These exclusive balls will disappear after the event ends, so be sure to utilize them before the end of the event.
The appearance of the ball changes to a greenish Strange Ball once transferred to Pokémon Home. There are limited ways to obtain more Go Safari Balls during the event, so it's essential to start playing early if you aim to use them before they vanish.
