'''Safari Zones''' are special preserves for rare [[wild Pokémon]], found in several regions. Their mechanics are similar to each other. Most have a {{PDollar}}500 entry fee, a step limit, and thirty {{ball|Safari}}s, with which players may catch any Pokémon they come upon. The most important of their specific mechanics, however, is that Trainers do not initiate [[Pokémon battle]]s with the wild Pokémon, but instead must catch them without battling them. The wild Pokémon within Safari Zones are capable of fleeing at any given time. The [[Johto Safari Zone]] has no step limit, while the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} has none of these mechanics, functioning instead like normal [[route]]s.

A '''Safari Zone''' (Japanese: '''サファリゾーン''' ''Safari Zone'') is a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} preserve where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can enter and participate in the '''Safari Game''' (Japanese: '''サファリゲーム''' ''Safari Game'') to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} rare [[wild Pokémon]].


Safari Zones can be found in the following regions:
Safari Zones can be found in the following [[region]]s:
* The {{safari|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]], located north of [[Fuchsia City]].
* The '''{{safari|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]]''', located north of [[Fuchsia City]].
* The {{safari|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]], located north of {{rt|121|Hoenn}}.
* The '''{{safari|Johto}} in [[Johto]]''', located north of {{rt|48|Johto}} beyond the [[Safari Zone Gate]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* The [[Great Marsh]] in [[Sinnoh]], located north of [[Pastoria City]].
* The '''{{safari|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]]''', located north of {{rt|121|Hoenn}}.
* The {{safari|Johto}} in [[Johto]], located north of {{rt|48|Johto}} ({{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} only).
* The '''[[Great Marsh]] in [[Sinnoh]]''', located north of [[Pastoria City]].


In the Generation II games, there is some data for a [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] in [[Fuchsia City]], but it was ultimately unused.
==In the games==
[[File:FL Safari Zone.png|thumb|200px|The [[Location preview|eyecatch]] shown when entering the Safari Zone in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
The mechanics of the Safari Zones are similar to each other. Most have a {{PDollar}}500 entry fee, a step limit, a series of distinct areas with different wild Pokémon in each, and 30 [[Safari Ball]]s, with which {{player}}s may {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} the Pokémon they come upon. The most important of their specific mechanics, however, is that {{pkmn|Trainer}}s do not initiate [[Pokémon battle]]s with the wild Pokémon, but instead must catch them without battling them. The wild Pokémon within Safari Zones are capable of [[Escape|fleeing]] at any given time.  


[[Johto]]'s [[National Park]] is somewhat similar to a Safari Zone, being a nature preserve for Pokémon and having a thrice-weekly [[Bug-Catching Contest]] which shares several aspects with a Safari Game. [[Kalos]]'s [[Friend Safari]] area, located in [[Kiloude City]], also bears some similarities with Safari Zones, differing in the available Pokémon for capture (which are dependent on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Friend Code]]s of other players) as well as allowing [[Poké Ball]]s of any variety as opposed to solely Safari Balls.
===Differences between games===
* The [[Johto Safari Zone]] has no step limit.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] does not use typical Safari Zone mechanics, instead functioning like normal [[route]]s.
* {{LGPE}} effectively do not have a Safari Zone; the area that used to be the Safari Zone is replaced with [[GO Park]], while the zoo area in front is referred to as the "Safari Zone" instead.


[[Unova]] is currently the only region to have neither a Safari Zone nor anything similar to or resembling a Safari Zone.
===Similar examples===
*[[Johto]]'s [[National Park]] is somewhat similar to a Safari Zone, being a nature preserve for Pokémon and having a thrice-weekly [[Bug-Catching Contest]] which shares several aspects with a Safari Game.
* [[Kalos]]'s [[Friend Safari]] area, located in [[Kiloude City]], also bears some similarities with Safari Zones, differing in the available wild Pokémon (which are dependent on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Friend Code]]s of other players) as well as allowing [[Poké Ball]]s of any variety as opposed to solely Safari Balls.
* The [[Pal Park]] in all [[Generation IV]] games bears some superficial similarities to a Safari Zone, being a special area where only a specific type of Poké Ball can be used, featuring possible Pokémon species that otherwise cannot be found, and where the player cannot battle the Pokémon found there. Additionally, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Pal Park is placed in Fuchsia City where it replaces the Safari Zone.
* In [[Hisui]], the Safari Zone was not yet established, but the main gameplay of {{g|Legends: Arceus}} is similar to the Safari Zone.


{{disambig}}
[[Unova]], [[Alola]], [[Galar]], [[Paldea]], and [[Kitakami]] have neither a Safari Zone nor anything similar to or resembling a Safari Zone.


==Trivia==
* In the [[Generation II]] games, there is some data for a {{DL|Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|Safari Zone|beta Safari Zone}} in [[Fuchsia City]], but it was ultimately unused.
