How to get Go Safari Balls in Pokémon Go
Pokémon Go Safari Balls are event-only Poké Balls with a much higher catch rate than Ultra Balls. They are especially useful for catching Mighty Pokémon, but can be used on any encounter, including Galarian birds.
Players can get them during Go Wild Area events, though the article says options are limited for those avoiding paid content. Ticket holders can also use them instead of Premier Balls during raid and Max Battle catch phases. Any unused balls disappear at 6pm local time on Sunday, 15 November; Pokémon transferred to Pokémon Home show the ball as a greenish Strange Ball.
In short
- Go Safari Balls have a higher catch rate than Ultra Balls.
- They are available during Go Wild Area events.
- Unused balls disappear at 6pm local time on 15 November.
