'''Safari Zones''' are special preserves for rare [[wild Pokémon]], found in several regions. Their mechanics are not too different from each other. All have a {{PDollar}}500 entry fee, a certain amount of time to be spent within (except the [[Johto Safari Zone]]), and thirty {{ball|Safari}}s, with which players may catch any Pokémon they come upon. The most important of their specific mechanics, however, is that Trainers do not initiate [[Pokémon battle]]s with the wild Pokémon, but instead must catch them without harming them.  The wild Pokémon within Safari Zones are capable of fleeing at any given time.

A Safari Zone (Japanese: サファリゾーン Safari Zone) is a special Pokémon preserve where Trainers can enter and participate in the Safari Game (Japanese: サファリゲーム Safari Game) to catch rare wild Pokémon.

Safari Zones can be found in the following regions:

The mechanics of the Safari Zones are similar to each other. Most have a $500 entry fee, a step limit, a series of distinct areas with different wild Pokémon in each, and 30 Safari Balls, with which players may catch the Pokémon they come upon. The most important of their specific mechanics, however, is that Trainers do not initiate Pokémon battles with the wild Pokémon, but instead must catch them without battling them. The wild Pokémon within Safari Zones are capable of fleeing at any given time.
