all pokemon in safari zone ruby

Safari Zone

The Safari Zone is a gated off area in eastern-central Hoenn where you can catch a large number of different and rare Pokemon . This area can only be reached from Route 121 .

Head inside the building and speak to the man directly to the right. He will give you TM85 Dream Eater .

Go through the door in the back to reach the area where all the wild Pokemon are. The rules have changed a bit since the old days. It's completely free to catch Pokemon in the Safari Zone now, but you have to use your own Poke Balls to capture them. You also have unlimited time to find them, and you cannot use Pokeblocks to attract them like the original Ruby and Sapphire.

Some parts of the Safari Zone can only be accessed with the Mach Bike or the Acro Bike. Use the Mach Bike to ride up dirt slopes, or uses the Acro Bike to hop across stumps and bridges. Then there are areas that cannot be reached until you can use both bikes at the same time!

Some Pokemon can only be found in certain sectors of the Safari Zone. Just imagine the Safari Zone split into four sections - Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast. This will allow you to find certain Pokemon or items much more easily. Your DexNav will even show when you have entered a different sector.

If you have a Mach Bike, you can reach a Big Pearl and a Nugget in the northwest sector, and TM22 Solar Beam in the northeast sector.

If you have an Acro Bike, you can reach an Absolite Mega Stone in the northwest sector and a Max Revive in the southwest sector.

After gaining the ability to use both bikes, you can reach TM53 Energy Ball in the southeast sector, TM93 Wild Charge in the northeast sector and a Calcium in the southeast sector.

Ruby/Sapphire - Safari Zone

The Ball option let's you throw one of your many Safari Balls. Always first try this. If the Pokemon doesn't go into the ball, throw a PokeBlock. It makes the Pokemon curious. Other times, the Pokemon completely ignores the PokeBlock, and will watch you carefully. Try the Ball again. If it still doesn not work, Go Near the Pokemon, and throw another Ball. Keep on repeating this process until you catch it. Throw as many balls as you can. You've paid $500 for it anyway.

There are PokeBlock feeders in the grasses. What you might want to do is put a PokeBlock in there, and it will lure Pokemon who like that specific taste towards you.

One of the great features of Pokemon R/B/Y, was definitely the Safari Zone. Unfortunately, this feature was unavailable in G/S/C, but in R/S a whole new Safari Zone is open on Route 121, just west of Lilycove City.

When you meet a Pokemon you can do 1 of 4 things:

If you choose any of the first 3 options, there is a chance that the wild Pokemon will run away. It doesn't flee, then you have a chance to capture it. The Pokemon may be easier to capture if you are closer to it, or if it is feeding on a Pokéblock.

It is also possible to place Pokéblocks in special feeders, which spread around the Safari Zone. The Pokéblocks draw Pokemon which like the taste, meaning that it helps to lure Pokemon of a certain nature which you might want.

To fully explore the Safari Zone needs at least 2 different visits, as certain areas can only be reached on a certain bike. If you want to explore the North-West, then take the Mach Bike with you. If you want to explore the North-East, then you need the Acro Bike. You may also need HM03 (Surf) to help you venture around the Safari Zone, as some of the items found in the Safari Zone, can only be gotten by surfing across lakes. You can find a Calcium, a Max Revive and TM22 (Solarbeam), all hidden in there.

The Safari Zone is home to many rare Pokemon, which aren't found anywhere else in Hoenn. These are the full lists:

A Traveler's Guide to the World of Pokémon/Safari Zone

The Safari Zone is an area of the Pokémon video game series. As its name suggests, the player, upon entering, may capture Pokémon in an environment resembling a safari . Although many Pokémon residing in the Safari Zone can be caught elsewhere, some, such as Scyther and Pinsir , are exclusive to this area only.

It also includes 1, 10, or 30 Safari Balls possible. If you pay the fee of 500 Poké-dollars you get 30 Safari Balls. If you have less than that you will get 10 Safari Balls. If you don't have any money you get 1 Safari Ball.

Unlike most areas containing wild Pokémon, the Safari Zone places several restrictions on the player.

• A fee of 500 Pokémon dollars is required to enter.
• A "time limit" of 500 steps (600 in Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen )
• The player is only allowed to use the 30 provided Safari Balls to capture Pokémon. In addition, owned Pokémon are not allowed to participate in confrontations, and the player must rely on a limited amount of commands, such as baiting and throwing rocks, to interact.

Red/Blue/Yellow [ edit | edit source ]

The Safari Zone in the Red, Blue, and Yellow versions of Pokémon is located in the northern part of Fuchsia City . It contains four areas, each containing different species of Pokémon.

When encountering a wild Pokémon, a Pokémon from the player's party is not sent out. Instead, the player has the option to run away, offer bait, throw rocks, or attempt to capture the Pokémon by using a Safari Ball. Offering bait will make the Pokémon less likely to run away, but decrease the chance of catching it by making the ball miss more often. Throwing rocks will hurt the Pokémon, making it easier to catch but increasing the chance of it running away.

It is also the vital piece of the puzzle of Glitch City . Also there was a way to steal safari balls and using them for own use.

Gold/Silver/Crystal [ edit | edit source ]

In the Gold, Silver , and Crystal versions of the game, the Safari Zone is absent. The entrance still remains at its usual location in the north of Fuchsia City, but the player is unable to enter it. A " beta " version of a Safari Zone map is included in the programming of the game, leading to the speculation that it might have been removed due to the discovery of so many glitches in the R/B/Y versions. However, it is also likely it was simply scrapped due to time restraints. The unfinished Safari Zone may still be accessed through GameShark or another cheating device. [1]

Ruby/Sapphire [ edit | edit source ]

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire , the Safari Zone made a reappearance. It is located about halfway through Route 121, and while it is similar to the R/B/Y Safari Zone, it introduces several new key differences. Only 500 steps and 30 Safari Balls are permitted, as in the old version, and the player is still restricted to engaging the Pokémon themselves by luring, distracting, capturing, or running away. However, instead of using unlimited "baiting," the player must now use a Pokéblock chosen from their own inventory. Instead of throwing rocks, the player is given the choice to "get closer".

Other changes include the addition of Pokéblock feeders, on which you can place a Pokéblock and wait for Pokémon to appear, rather than look for them. Also, some areas are inaccessible unless the player has a particular bike. The Mach Bike is needed to reach the Northwest corner of the map, while the Northeast corner of the map requires you to have the Acro Bike. Each area contains a different set of Pokémon.

Finally, the player cannot save while inside the Safari Zone. However, quitting at any time is available by choosing the "RETIRE" option on the Start menu or talking to the man by the exit.

The player can still use Pokémon abilities, such as Surf and Rock Smash, inside the Safari Zone, along with the new move, "Sweet Scent," which can be used to draw wild Pokémon without walking. Also, fishing or turning in circles without moving will not count against your time quota.

Emerald [ edit | edit source ]

The Safari Zone is also present in Pokémon Emerald, and is the same as Ruby and Sapphire's; however, it now has a new section to the right of the entrance that will open after defeating the Elite Four. This new area has a north and a south section, each filled with Pokémon from the Johto region (this is the only place in the game in which some Pokémon can be caught without trading).

Diamond and Pearl [ edit | edit source ]

Renamed Great Marsh (though the in-game map still refers to it as the Safari Zone), and located near Pastoria City . The player can travel by train to access each area of the Great Marsh, although some areas are interconnected without train. There are six areas in the Great Marsh most of which are covered with mud. You will get stuck in the mud and to get out, simply move the character around. The ability to "move closer" has changed to "throw mud", which functions much like the "throw rocks" of the earlier games, and "throw bait" also returns from the older games, while bait feeders were removed.

Johto Safari Zone

The Johto Safari Zone (Japanese: サファリゾーン Safari Zone ) is a special Pokémon preserve where Trainers can catch certain types of Pokémon. The Johto Safari Zone made its debut appearance in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver , where it was shown to be located northwest of Cianwood . It is located at the Safari Zone Gate , a bazaar that sprung up due to the Safari Zone's popularity. It is owned by Baoba , the owner of the former Kanto Safari Zone , which was, by then, made into a Pal Park by his son.

For $ 500, the player will receive 30 Safari Balls . Akin to previous Safari Zones, there is a large area to cover, but the six areas of the Zone can uniquely be rearranged to suit the player. Also, there is no time or step limit to how long the player can try to catch Pokémon. The only ways to leave are to retire, to walk back through the entrance or to run out of Safari Balls.

When a wild Pokémon appears, no Pokémon may be sent out to battle it; catching Pokémon here, as in most Safari Zones, requires sheer luck. There are four options in the battle screen: throw a Safari Ball, throw Bait, run away, and throw Mud. Throwing Bait makes a Pokémon less likely to run, but makes it harder to catch, while throwing Mud does the reverse, making it easier to catch but more likely to run.

The Safari Zone can only be accessed once the player has healed the sick Ampharos , Amphy , in Olivine City 's lighthouse .

This Safari Zone works identically to the Great Marsh : Pokémon are made easier or harder to catch by modifying the catch rate of a Pokémon. Each Pokémon appearing in the Safari Zone also has an escape rate, representing the probability that they flee from battle; a Pokémon's escape rate is identical across all Generation IV games (however, their escape rates are not defined in games which they cannot be found in their Great Marsh or Safari Zone). As a rule of thumb, Pokémon at higher evolutionary levels generally have lower escape rates.

At the start of an encounter, both the catch rate and escape rate are set to their species defaults. When Bait is thrown, it lowers the escape rate by one stage, but has a 90% chance of also lowering the catch rate by one stage. When Mud is thrown, it raises the catch rate by one stage, but has a 90% chance of raising the escape rate by one stage. Stages for catch rates and escape rates work identically to stat stages : they can be raised as high as +6 and as low as -6, where 0 is the starting stage; multipliers at each stat stage also work identically.

At the end of each turn, a random number between 0 and 255 is generated. If it is less than the modified stat stage, the Pokémon escapes.

Base flee rates

Like the Safari Zone in Hoenn and Great Marsh in Sinnoh , the Johto Safari Zone has six areas, which are inhabited by different Pokémon. A feature unique to this Safari Zone, however, is the customization of these areas. Each of the six areas may be placed in any arrangement the player desires. This is a useful function, as it means the player does not have to traverse to the furthest area from the entrance to get the Pokémon living in it. This is taken even further due to the fact that there are 10 unique defaults from the moment the Safari Zone is unlocked.

Customization happens on the Nintendo DS touch screen. By dragging and sliding the tiles with the stylus, the player can move them with ease. The exits to each area are arranged so that every conceivable arrangement of areas is possible: up to 2,985,984. In each specific area, the player can choose from several different objects and put up to 30 into the area, which can potentially draw out rarer Pokémon, Pokémon not found in the area, or Pokémon not found in the zone any other way. The specific layout of the Safari Zone may be shared by multiple players at one time, like other events in Generation IV , through record mixing or by using the Safari Zone Link.

Default area layouts

There are ten possible layouts that the areas can be arranged in by default when the player first reaches the Safari Zone. Between the ten default layouts, all of the areas are utilized at least once with the exceptions of the Desert and Rocky Beach areas; each default arrangement positions the Peak area right in front of the entrance. Six more areas can be added once Baoba 's second challenge is assigned to the player.

First Challenge

When the player first visits the Safari Zone, its owner, Baoba , will give the player their first challenge of finding and catching a Geodude inside of the Safari Zone. No matter which of the 10 possible default Safari Zone area set-ups is in use, the Peak Area where Geodude can be found is always the first area that the player enters.

Second Challenge

Three game-play hours after completion of the first challenge, Baoba will call the player and give them their second challenge. The point of this challenge is to get the player to use the Area Customizer, a machine that allows the player to move around and order the different areas of the Safari Zone. Using the Area Customizer to add the Desert Area, the player must catch a Sandshrew . When Baoba is shown a captured Sandshrew, he makes the player the new Safari Zone Owner.

After the player has both received the National Pokédex from Professor Oak , and 3 hours of gameplay have passed after completion of Baoba 's second challenge, Baoba will call the player to tell them that he has come up with a new idea for the Safari Zone. After receiving this call, the player will be able to place blocks in each active area of the Safari Zone. Each active area can contain up to 30 blocks at one time. Initially, the player will have access to only 6 block items. After another 3 hours of gameplay, Baoba will call the player again and add 6 new blocks. This cycle will repeat 2 more times until the player has been granted access to all 24 different block items.

Area upgrades

Each area of the Safari Zone keeps a hidden counter which tracks how many days it has been active. It adds 1 day to the count at midnight (00:00). After an area has been active for a predetermined number of days, it will be upgraded. Each upgrade acts as a multiplier for one block type within an area. For example, a Plains block in an area with no upgrades counts as a single Plains block point. A Plains block in an area with one Plains upgrade counts as two Plains block points. Baoba may call to notify the player when this occurs, however, the upgrade comes into effect regardless of whether the call has been received. The upgrades cannot be reverted once obtained, even if the player moves the area out of the current rotation or removes the blocks.

The invisible day counter for each active area of the Safari Zone is tied to the internal game clock of the system. Playing the game every day is not necessary to advance the counter as long as the game is used in the same system. If the game detects a different clock (either by changing the date or time or by booting the game in a different system), the counter will freeze for 24 hours after saving. If the clock was set one or more days forward, the counter doesn't advance to match the number of skipped days, but resumes counting from where it left off before the penalty period. The counter never resets to 0.

Many Pokémon are found in the Safari Zone with no additional input needed by the player. Other Pokémon will only appear if certain block objects are placed within each area. For example, Fearow will not appear in the Peak area unless there are five Forest objects placed in the Peak area. Some Pokémon need two types of block objects in order to appear. For example, Vigoroth requires both Plains and Forest objects.

The area upgrade mechanic within the Safari Zone is key to being able to encounter the more rare Pokémon types. For example, to encounter a Bagon within the Swamp area, the player must have unlocked the block capability and received enough notifications from Baoba that both Peak and Forest block items are available for placement. The Swamp area must then be made an active area within the Safari Zone for 110 days. This quadruples the block score for each forest block and triples it for each peak block placed within it. The player can then place 19 peak blocks (19 × 3 = 57) and 9 forest blocks (9 × 4 = 36), which achieves the required scores of 56 and 35 respectively to enable Bagon.

All encounter slots in the Safari Zone are 10% each. The block-based encounters will replace topmost available slot, with higher ID being prioritized. For example, having 5 points of Plains blocks and 10 points of Forest blocks in Wetland will cause the game to insert Farfetch'd , Furret and Pachirisu in grass encounter slots 1, 0, and 2, respectively.

The Safari Zone is not listed as a Pokédex area. Any Pokémon that can be encountered only here will have the area listed as "AREA UNKNOWN".

Additionally, when generating Pokémon's IVs , the game will reroll the numbers up to 4 times if none of the IVs are at 31.

If the player keeps track of every area's counter and changes them optimally, the player will need to wait at least 100 days to upgrade them all and gain access to every evolution family in the Safari Zone. In order to unlock every species in every area, however, the player will need to wait at least 140 days.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Heartgold & soulsilver arc.

In Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down , Silver ventured to the newly opened Safari Zone after hearing about it from Clair . There he participated in a Safari Game, during which he was attacked by an Arbok and he countered its attack. In the midst of battle, Eusine stopped him and lectured him about the rules of the Safari Zone, which prohibit attacking the wild Pokémon. Silver, who had recently found out about Plates , showed Eusine a Plate he has found at Whirl Islands , but did not get any reaction out of him other than confusion. His actions were, however, seen by Petrel , who attacked him and Eusine with his army of Koffing . During the following battle, Petrel revealed information about the Plates and that he defeated Lance . The battle ended as Petrel left and Silver stole the Plates he had managed to find. Some time after, Silver encountered Crystal , who was on a field trip with the children from Earl's Pokémon Academy , and they decided to travel to Ecruteak City together.

• Johto did not have a Safari Zone in Generation II . However, an unused and incomplete map of the Kanto Safari Zone still exists in the code of the Generation II games. In its tall grass, there are no Pokémon, but some are available by fishing.
• The number of Pokémon species that can be acquired in this Safari Zone is by far the largest quantity in the main series to date, and includes several species that were never before available in the wild, most notably Shelgon , Metang , Breloom , Vigoroth , and Riolu .
• This is the only Safari Zone which the player can customize.
• This is the first Safari Zone in which there is no step limit. The Hoenn Safari Zone in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire also does not have a step limit.
• The two construction workers outside of the Safari Zone, in the Safari Zone Gate , imply that they are the ones who move the Safari Zone areas; they mention that most people would think a complicated system would be in place, as well as complaining about aches and pains.
• Should the player use a wallhack to walk through the Safari Zone Gate without going through reception first, the Safari Zone will be 6 plain squares and the only Pokémon that will show up is a level 20 Rattata . However, the battle will go as it would anywhere else, instead of bringing up the Safari Zone's catching interface.
• A graphical glitch occurs in the Swamp area. Four tiles at the top of the grassy patch appear to be empty at first, but when the player (or their partner Pokémon ) walks over the tiles, tall grass will appear underfoot.
