Safari Zone guide for Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Features, GBA, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
With Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen coming to Nintendo Switch, we have a dedicated guide for the Safari Zone.
The Safari Zone is its own unique brand of evil. It’s home to Chansey, Kangaskhan, and Tauros, who cannot be found via any other means. Scyther appears here in FireRed, as well as Pinsir in LeafGreen, though they can also be purchased as game corner prizes in Celadon City. There’s also Dratini and Dragonair, which can be fished up with the Super Rod. All of these Pokemon are difficult to catch – if you don’t know this already, the Safari Zone prevents you from weakening wild Pokemon with paralysis or sleep, which would normally make catching them much easier. Wild Pokemon also love to run away – for instance, I spent well over 6 hours catching all of these rare Pokemon just today. Here’s everything we learned about the best ways to catch rare Pokemon in the Safari Zone.
