In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, this Safari Zone is only accessible to Trainers participating in the Safari Game. In a Safari Game, players may only use Safari Balls; rather than weaken them in battle, players must use non-conventional tactics to try and catch wild Pokémon. There are four options on the battle screen: throw a [[Safari Ball]], throw a [[Pokéblock]], go near, and run away. Throwing Pokéblocks makes a Pokémon less likely to run,<!-- but makes it harder to catch;--> while going near<!-- does the reverse,--> makes a Pokémon easier to catch but more likely to run. | In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, this Safari Zone is only accessible to Trainers participating in the Safari Game.

Players have | Players have the option to approach wild Pokémon to influence the [[catch rate]] of wild Pokémon to make them easier to catch, referred to as the "catch factor". Furthermore, there is an "escape factor", which represents the probability that a Pokémon will escape the following turn. At the start of an encounter, the catch factor starts at 100/1275 of the Pokémon's [[catch rate]], rounded down (if this is lower than 1, this will be set to 1), while the escape factor starts at 3. | ||
Depending on the action taken, the catch and escape factors are modified as follows (neither factor may increase to more than 20 nor decrease to less than 1): | Depending on the action taken, the catch and escape factors are modified as follows (neither factor may increase to more than 20 nor decrease to less than 1): | ||
