In Pokémon Go, GO Safari Balls are special Poké Balls introduced during specific events, notably the “GO Wild Area” events, to enhance your chances of catching challenging Pokémon like Mighty Pokémon and Galarian birds.
Timed Research Tasks: During the event, all players receive a Timed Research task that rewards a small number of GO Safari Balls upon completion. Gameranx
Spinning Photo Discs: Spinning Photo Discs at PokéStops and Gyms during the event may yield GO Safari Balls, though this method is less consistent. Gameranx
Purchasing Extra Access Tickets: For additional GO Safari Balls, you can purchase an Extra Access Ticket for $2.00 USD (or equivalent in your local currency). This grants access to event-exclusive hourly Timed Research tasks, each providing four additional GO Safari Balls. Gameranx
Important Considerations:
Usage Limitation: GO Safari Balls can only be used during the event hours and will disappear from your inventory after the event ends, specifically by 6:15 p.m. local time each day. Polygon
Transfer Restrictions: Pokémon caught with GO Safari Balls cannot be transferred to Pokémon Home. Polygon
To maximize the benefits of GO Safari Balls, focus on completing Timed Research tasks promptly and consider purchasing the Extra Access Ticket if you aim to catch a significant number of rare Pokémon during the event.
