Baoba (Japanese: バオバ) is a character in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. He is the owner of the new Safari Zone west of Cianwood City.

In the games

Baoba is from Kanto, the home of the original Safari Zone. In the events of the original Pokémon Gold and Silver, this area is closed to the player; it is revealed in Generation IV that Kanto's Pal Park is located there instead. Because he is such a fan of the Safari Game played within the Zone, Baoba decides to build a new one in the Johto region. This is explained to the player the first time he or she meets him, on Route 38. They will also receive Baoba's phone number.

The entrance to Baoba's Safari Zone is located at the north end of Route 48. It will not be able to be reached, however, until after Amphy the Ampharos in the Glitter Lighthouse has been healed with the SecretPotion. Baoba will call the player on their PokéGear to let them know that the area is open for business.

While the Safari Zone is by no means a compulsory part of the game, it is useful for obtaining rare and valuable Pokémon. Baoba will periodically issue challenges to those who wish to play a Safari Game. If one such Pokémon is brought to him, he will reward the Trainer with an as yet unknown item.
