The Johto Safari Zone is a special Pokémon preserve where trainers can capture certain types of Pokémon. It is located at the Safari Zone Gate, a bazaar that sprung up due to the Safari Zone's popularity. It is owned by Baoba, the owner of the former Kanto Safari Zone, which was, by then, made into a Pal Park by his son.
For $500, the player will receive 30 Safari Balls. Akin to previous Safari Zones, there is a large area to cover. There is no time or step limit to how long the player can try to catch Pokémon. The only ways to leave are to retire, to walk back through the entrance, or to run out of Safari Balls.
When a wild Pokémon appears, no Pokémon may be sent out to battle it; catching Pokémon here, as in all Safari Zones, requires sheer luck. There are four options in the battle screen: throw a Safari Ball, throw bait, run away, and throw mud. Throwing bait makes a Pokémon less likely to run, but makes it harder to catch, while throwing mud does the reverse, making it easier to catch but more likely to run.
This is the only place to house a clan of Asbol, which are not open for capture. However, an Asbol may choose a trainer if they feel they are worthy to be partnered with them.
