Go Safari Balls are limited-time Poké Balls with a much higher catch rate than Ultra Balls. They’re designed for capturing mighty Pokémon, like Galarian birds and event-specific creatures, during the Wild Area event. However, there’s a catch:
- They expire at 6:15 p.m. local time on the event day.
- Pokémon caught using these balls cannot be transferred to Pokémon Home.
