===Effect===
===Effect===
When used in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter at the Safari Zone or Great Marsh, it will attempt to capture the wild Pokémon with a 1.5× [[catch rate]] modifier.
====Generation I====
When used in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter, it will attempt to catch the wild Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] modifier of 2×. The {{player}} can only have these Poké Balls in their possession during a [[Safari Zone|Safari Game]].
 
====Generation II to VII====
The Safari Ball's catch rate modifier is now 1.5×.
 
====Generation VIII====
Starting in {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s [[The Isle of Armor]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|Expansion]], the Safari Ball can now be obtained outside of a Safari Game and used in regular wild encounters. The Safari Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present. If used in a Trainer battle, the opposing Trainer will bat the ball away, wasting the player's turn.
 
The Safari Ball's catch rate modifier is 1× in Pokémon Sword and Shield, but was changed back to 1.5× in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
 
====Generation IX====
The Safari Ball's catch rate modifier is once again 1×.

===Acquisition===
===Acquisition===
In all the games where Safari Balls are obtainable, the player is given 30 Safari Balls for the duration of their Safari Game, never to be put into the [[Bag]]. All unused Safari Balls are returned at the end of the game.
When the player participates in a [[Safari Zone|Safari Game]], they receive 30 Safari Balls exclusively for use within the Safari Game. They are not placed in the player's [[Bag]], and any unused Safari Balls are returned at the end of the Safari Game.
 
In {{game|Yellow}} only, if the player does not have the required {{PDollar}}500 to enter the Safari Zone, they can instead pay all of their money and receive a number of Safari Balls proportional to the amount paid. If they have no money, they can enter for free and receive a single Safari Ball.

In [[EP035]], Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.
===Main series===
In [[EP035]], [[Kaiser]] gave {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} 30 Safari Balls to be used within the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. Ash attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} various rare Pokémon with them, but he ultimately ended up using all of his Safari Balls on nothing but {{AP|Tauros}}. The Safari Balls containing Ash's Tauros reappeared in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, for an unexplained reason, whenever Ash has subsequently used one of his Tauros in a {{pkmn|battle}}, it has been sent out from a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}.


===In Pokémon Origins===
A Safari Ball appeared in [[Which One ~ Is It?]], a Japanese ending theme from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', also marking the debut of the Ball's in-game design in the anime.
[[File:Safari Ball PO.png|thumb|left|180px|Red holding a Safari Ball]]
 
In ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', while Safari Balls themselves did not appear at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], {{MTR}} was briefly painted on with the Safari Ball's camouflage pattern, revealing that these Balls are made at the factory. This is also the first time that the games' design of Safari Balls has appeared in the anime, outside of openings and endings.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Safari Balls first appeared in ''[[PS021|Long Live the Nidoking!]]'' and ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]'', where {{adv|Red}} received some from the robotic {{safari|Kanto}} guide called [[Pidgebot]], eventually catching a huge herd of Safari Zone Pokémon with them.
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS364|A Skuffle with Skorupi]]'', {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} entered the [[Great Marsh]] and received some Safari Balls to be used during the Safari Game, intending to catch a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon for Platinum to use against [[Crasher Wake]]. However, in the end, they failed to catch a single new Pokémon.
===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
In ''[[PS446|Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down]]'', {{adv|Silver}} received some Safari Balls while entering the [[Johto Safari Zone]]. He tried to use one on an {{p|Arbok}}, but [[Eusine]] stopped him, due to him having violated the Safari Zone's no-battling rule by attacking the Arbok with his {{TP|Silver|Weavile}}.
===Pokémon Zensho===
In ''[[PZ06|Fuchsia City]]'', {{zensho|Satoshi}} received some Safari Balls while entering the Safari Zone.
