Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald The World: Safari Zone |

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.

For just the small fee of [p]500, you receive 30 Safari Balls and the time equivalent of 500 steps to wander around and do as you please, mainly catching Pokemon. You can wander around on foot, ride on a bike and even surf or fish to find wild Pokemon. The rules for catching Pokemon are just like last time:

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

1. Throw a Safari Ball
2. Move closer to the Pokemon
3. Throw a Pokéblock to the Pokemon
4. Run Away

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:
