# Safari Zone
Catch Pokémon from 18 type-themed biomes with Safari Balls, Bait and Mud Balls.
{% hint style="info" %}
The Safari Zone is a separate world made of 18 biomes, one for each type. There are no battles here: you sneak up on wild Pokémon and catch them with Safari Balls, using Bait and Mud Balls to tip the odds.
{% endhint %}
Hunting in the Safari Zone
***
## 🚪 Getting in
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Head to the entrance
Type `/safari` from either server. It takes you to the Safari Zone entrance on the Hub.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Get a Safari Ticket
Entry costs **1 Safari Ticket**. Buy one for **$500** at the entrance.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Use the Safari Teleporter
Step onto the **Safari Teleporter** and stand still while it counts down. You'll be asked to confirm, and the ticket is taken. You land somewhere different every time.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ⏱️ **Time** | **15 minutes a day** |
| 🎟️ **Ticket** | Only your **first** trip of the day costs a ticket. Coming back later the same day is free while you still have time left. |
| 🎒 **Free supplies** | Your first trip each day gives you **24 Safari Balls**, **32 Bait** and **32 Mud Balls** |
| 🚶 **Leaving early** | Type `/safariexit` to go back to where you came in. Your leftover time is saved for later that day. |
Your time and free supplies reset every day. If you're inside when the Safari resets, you'll get a warning and then be sent out.
{% hint style="warning" %}
⚠️ Be careful in there. If you nearly die, you're sent out and the rest of the day's Safari time is used up.
{% endhint %}

## 📏 Safari rules
* **Only Safari Balls** work. Your own Poké Balls can't be used.
* **No battles,** and you can't send out your Pokémon.
* **No fishing.**
* Wild Pokémon **can run away**.
***
## 🎯 Catching
Throw Safari Balls straight at a wild Pokémon. There's no battle, so it all comes down to your aim and a bit of luck.
| Item | What it does |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 🍖 **Bait** | Makes the Pokémon **less likely to run**, but a little **harder to catch** |
| 🟤 **Mud Ball** | Makes the Pokémon **easier to catch**, but **more likely to run** |
* **Running away:** when a Pokémon is about to flee, a warning pops up on screen. You've got about **5 seconds** for one last throw before it's gone for good.
* ✨ **Shinies** are **4 times easier to catch** in the Safari, but they can still run away, so don't waste your chance.
* 🦣 **Alphas** can get **enraged** for 30 seconds. Throwing Bait has a 15% chance to calm one down.
* 🎈 **Safari Balloons** float around the biomes. Pop them for extra Safari supplies.
