When used in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter, it will attempt to catch the wild Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] modifier of 1..

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×.

====Pokémon X and Y====
Despite being unobtainable as an item in [[Generation VI]], a Safari Ball appears in the {{DL|Autumnal Avenue|Poké Ball Boutique}} in [[Lumiose City]].
 
[[Kiloude City]]'s [[Friend Safari]] building contains a Safari Ball on its sign. However, the Friend Safari does not act like a typical [[Safari Zone]] and Safari Balls are not legitimately obtainable or used in the game.

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 Poké Ball.

===In Pokémon Origins===
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.
