The Safari Game mechanics were overhauled to more closely resemble the one in the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]]. Like it, there is an additional "catch factor" that begins at 100/1275 of the Pokémon's catch rate (rounded down). Each species of Pokémon that appears in the Safari Zone also has its own "escape rate", unlike in the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]], which is never modified. Bait cannot reduce the "catch factor" of a Pokémon below 3 and rocks cannot increase it above 20. Because of this Chansey becomes easier to catch after being baited as it's catch factor increases from 2 to 3, Pokémon with a base catch rate will not be come harder to catch after bait has been thrown as their catch factor remains at 3, and Magikarp cannot become any easier to catch by throwing rocks as its catch factor is already 20. | The Safari Game mechanics were overhauled to more closely resemble the one in the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]].

Like Generation I, a Pokémon will be angry or eating whenever Bait or Rocks are thrown. If Bait is thrown, it will be "eating" for 1-5 turns, during which the catch factor is halved. If Rocks are thrown, it will be "angry" for 1-5 turns, during which the catch factor is doubled. Being "angry" or "eating" is mutually exclusive, though modifications to the catch factors will stack. Whenever a Safari Ball is thrown, the catch factor is converted back to a catch rate by multiplying by 1275/100 and rounding down. The amount of bait or anger a Pokémon has can stack if multiple rocks or bait are thrown. The amount cannot surpass 5 turns worth of either. | Like Generation I, a Pokémon will be angry or eating whenever Bait or Rocks are thrown.
