Safari Zone

A walking mini-game in Fuchsia City. Pay 100 Quest Pearls, get 30 Safari Balls and catch what you meet.

Opens: Earn the Soul Badge

Walking

• Move with the pad (or arrow keys). Each step on grass or water has a 5% chance of an encounter.
• Some Pokémon walk around on the field where you can see them; step on one to battle it. They leave after a while.
• Items appear on the field after a catch. Walk onto one to pick it up.
• Your eggs keep walking too: every step counts as egg steps (more at higher Safari levels).
• The visit ends when you run out of Safari Balls, or when you leave.

In a battle

After every ball that misses, bait or rock, it may run away (base 30%).

Baits

Plain bait is always there. Berries from your farm work as bait with an extra effect, which lasts until you throw another bait:

• Bait — Eats: harder to catch, runs less
• Razz Berry — Eats, and is easier to catch
• Nanab Berry — Eats, and runs away even less
• Pinap Berry — Eats; catching it may drop an extra item

Catch chance

The catch chance is the Pokémon's catch rate ÷ 6, plus your Steady Hand (Lab item) and a small Safari-level bonus. Some examples at Safari level 1 without the Steady Hand:

Pokémon	Normal	Eating	Angry	Runs (normal / eating / angry)
Chansey	5.0%	2.5%	10.0%	30.0% / 7.5% / 60.0%
Scyther	7.5%	3.8%	15.0%	30.0% / 7.5% / 60.0%
Dratini	7.5%	3.8%	15.0%	30.0% / 7.5% / 60.0%

Shiny Pokémon appear 1 in 4,096 here (the Shiny Charm helps).

Safari level

Safari EXP comes from everything you do here: 10 per rock, ball or item, 5 per bait, 50 per catch (shinies 250). Higher levels make Pokémon easier to catch and less likely to run, drop more items and walk your eggs faster. Max level 40.
