All Friend Safaris have three Pokémon that may be captured. Only two of them will be available until the friend to whom that Safari belongs enters the [[Hall of Fame]]. All three Pokémon are of the same type, determined by that player's Friend Code. Once the player has been online in-game at the same time as a friend, the Pokémon in that friend's Safari will thereafter have a chance of having their [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability]]. If the player has not been online in-game at the same time with a given friend, that friend will have a "?" where their character avatar would otherwise be.
