Friend Safari

• View history

Choosing Type Option.

The Friend Safari  is an area in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y where you can encounter Pokémon not native to the region, Pokémon exclusive to the other version, evolved (not fully) versions of the Kalos starters and Pokémon that are otherwise rare. To get it the player must have at least one friend registered in the Friend List of the 3DS. The Friend Safari Building is located in the top right corner of Kiloude City, which is accessible only post Elite Four and after the player speaks to Professor Sycamore at Lumiose City's Train Station.

New Features [ ]

Unlike the previous games' Safari Zones , the amount of available Friend Safaris rely on the amount of friend codes the player has registered to their 3DS.

There is no time limit or limit to the amount of steps you can take in the zone.

Each friend the player adds has different Pokémon themed to their safari (i.e. a person with Fire-type Safari will have only Fire Pokémon) and they enter their own safari. In order to discover what your own Friend Safari type is and what Pokémon lie within, you must utilize another player aid and have them enter your safari after sharing friend codes.

Every friend code registered in the 3DS will have a safari regardless of whether that friend owns X or Y or not. Those who don't play will only have two Pokémon in their corresponding Safari and Hidden Abilities will not be available. A friend safari will only appear in-game when both players have added the other's friend codes.

In order to unlock the 3rd Pokémon and a chance for each available Pokémon in that Friend Safari to have its Hidden Ability, two players who have shared Friend Codes must have beaten the Elite 4 and be online at the same time at least once in X or Y. After you have seen your friend's avatar in-game while going online via PSS, all 3 slots will be unlocked and Hidden Ability Pokémon can appear in that friend's safari whenever you enter.

Pokémon [ ]

The Pokémon that players will find in each safari varies accordingly, but the type of the Pokémon found will always stick to the typing of the Safari. Note: 2nd evolutions of starter Pokémon can be found.

Some of the Pokémon reportedly found so far:

Bug Type Safari [ ]

Dark type safari [ ], dragon type safari [ ], electric type safari [ ], fighting type safari [ ], fire type safari [ ], flying type safari [ ], ghost type safari [ ], grass type safari [ ], ground type safari [ ], ice type safari [ ], normal type safari [ ], poison type safari [ ], psychic type safari [ ], rock type safari [ ], steel type safari [ ], water type safari [ ].

Safari Zone

A Safari Zone (Japanese: サファリゾーン Safari Zone ) is a special Pokémon preserve where Trainers can enter and participate in the Safari Game (Japanese: サファリゲーム Safari Game ) to catch rare wild Pokémon .

Safari Zones can be found in the following regions :

• The Safari Zone in Kanto , located north of Fuchsia City .
• The Safari Zone in Johto , located north of Route 48 beyond the Safari Zone Gate in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver .
• The Safari Zone in Hoenn , located north of Route 121 .
• The Great Marsh in Sinnoh , located north of Pastoria City .
• 1.1 Differences between games
• 1.2 Similar examples
• 3 In other languages

In the games

The mechanics of the Safari Zones are similar to each other. Most have a $ 500 entry fee, a step limit, a series of distinct areas with different wild Pokémon in each, and 30 Safari Balls , with which players may catch the Pokémon they come upon. The most important of their specific mechanics, however, is that Trainers do not initiate Pokémon battles with the wild Pokémon, but instead must catch them without battling them. The wild Pokémon within Safari Zones are capable of fleeing at any given time.

Differences between games

• The Johto Safari Zone has no step limit.
• In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire , the Hoenn Safari Zone does not use typical Safari Zone mechanics, instead functioning like normal routes .
• Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! effectively do not have a Safari Zone; the area that used to be the Safari Zone is replaced with GO Park , while the zoo area in front is referred to as the "Safari Zone" instead.

Similar examples

• Johto 's National Park is somewhat similar to a Safari Zone, being a nature preserve for Pokémon and having a thrice-weekly Bug-Catching Contest which shares several aspects with a Safari Game.
• Kalos 's Friend Safari area, located in Kiloude City , also bears some similarities with Safari Zones, differing in the available wild Pokémon (which are dependent on the Nintendo 3DS Friend Codes of other players) as well as allowing Poké Balls of any variety as opposed to solely Safari Balls.
• The Pal Park in all Generation IV games bears some superficial similarities to a Safari Zone, being a special area where only a specific type of Poké Ball can be used, featuring possible Pokémon species that otherwise cannot be found, and where the player cannot battle the Pokémon found there. Additionally, in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver , the Pal Park is placed in Fuchsia City where it replaces the Safari Zone.
• In Hisui , the Safari Zone was not yet established, but the main gameplay of Pokémon Legends: Arceus is similar to the Safari Zone.

Unova , Alola , Galar , Paldea , and Kitakami have neither a Safari Zone nor anything similar to or resembling a Safari Zone.

• In the Generation II games, there is some data for a beta Safari Zone in Fuchsia City , but it was ultimately unused.

Pokemon X and Y: How to Find Pokemon on a Friend Safari

You’ll discover plenty of things to do while exploring Kiloude City, one of the more popular destinations in Pokemon X and Y .  We already covered the exciting Battle Maison . Now it’s time to go on a Friend Safari, where you’ll have opportunities to capture Pokemon you would otherwise have to trade with other players or transfer from previous games to obtain. 

To go on a Friend Safari in Pokemon X and Y, you must select from registered players on your friend list. In fact, you stand to gain even more Pokemon if the chosen friend currently plays X or Y.  In addition, you’ll unlock a different Friend Safari for each registered friend code. Naturally, the more Safaris you access, the more Pokemon you’ll collect. 

To capture Pokemon during a Friend Safari, head outside and run through the tall grass. Pokemon you discover will correspond to the Safari type you chose. For instance, opting to go on an Ice Safari means finding Cloyster, Delibird and Sneasel, among others, while a Fire Safari may result in capturing Charmeleon, Larvesta or Magmar, to name a few. 

Friend Safari Tips  

• Pokemon captured during a Safari may possess hidden abilities.
• Normally you find two Pokemon on a Safari, but if the person registered entered the Hall of Fame, you’ll get three. 
• After going on a Safari, talk to the Judge in Kiloude City to reveal their potential. 

Here’s the complete list of Pokemon, by Safari type, that you can find. Pokemon with * after their names are ones you would only be able to get from a Pokemon Professor or via trades.

Pokemon X and Y: Friend Safari Basics/Tips Guide

Go to the Friend Safari so you can catch them all faster than ever before! Read our guide to learn how.

One of the interesting, and possibly misunderstood, additions to Pokemon X and Y is the highly social Friend Safari. The successor to Safari Zone is inherently social, but in a completely different way from smartphone games like Candy Crush Saga. The quantity of your Pokemon playing friends is not as important as their quality, or to better put it, their skill level. An early heads up, you have to finish the main game before trying this out.

After you defeat the Elite Four, you can go to Lumiose’s train station, where Professor Sycamore is waiting with a Rail Ticket to Kiloude City. At the left of the city is a house with a red roof, also pictured below. This is Friend Safari.

In Friend Safari, you can visit safaris your fellow Pokemon playing friends have made and registered. You will be able to catch three Pokemon there. Two of them are Level 30 Pokemon, and are frequently console exclusive. The third Pokemon is one of those only available in Friend Safari.

Awesome, right? But to make use of Friend Safari, you’ll need to have friends in real life, who have also finished Pokemon X and Y I mean.

Let me lay out the steps to ensure you can get a 3 rd Pokemon:

1.     When you find a fellow Pokemon player who will work with you, enter their Friend Code into your Friends List, from the 3DS Home screen. Your Friendship status should  change from Provisional to either Online or Offline.

2.     Next, you both need to have beat the Elite Four and received access to the Friend Safari.

3.     Finally, make sure your wireless is on and turn on Internet in game. If everything has gone without a hitch, you will be able to get 3 Pokemon from the Friend Safari.

Now, here are some tips to make the most out of Friend Safari:

·         Use a Pokemon with Trace as the leader. This way, you can check if the Pokemon you come across already has their Primary Ability, Secondary Ability, or Hidden Ability.

·         Give your leader the Smoke Ball, so that it can easily escape from hairy situations.

·         If you’re looking for Dittos for breeding, use Pokemon with Sturdy Ability as leaders. Sturdy will bring Dittos  down to as much as 1 HP. These Pokemon should not have any damage dealing moves. Bergmite is ideal. When the Ditto transforms it, you can easily swap it out and hit the Ditto hard. To improve your chances of catching it, try paralyzing or putting it to sleep as well.

Got any tips you’d like to share? We’ve been making Pokemon X and Y guides for a while now, feel free to share your knowledge with us below.

Friend Safari Thread

Hi I’m Lesss, an avid fan of this game, I often find myself shiny hunting these days, and since we don’t really have a big list of available friend safaris, I started to make one.

I am compiling/ proof-checking all the safaris I can find in our previous reddit page, our wiki. and some list made by previous players, i want to ask you to help me with this project by adding your safari ID’s on this thread (doesn’t matter if you only have 2 slots of pokemons available since I will check them 1 by 1,)

After I’m done with the list I will share it here. It might take a while but I hope you can help me.

IMPORTANT Make sure your base is UPLOADED first.

First Draft:

All the safaris here have been checked and visited by me,

Safari: Lesss Type : Normal Pokes: Eevee, Sentret, Zangoose

Safari: Snuewks Type: Dark Pokemon: Sableye, Skuntank and Scraggy

Safari: mg98 Type: Ghost Pokes: Rotom, drifloon, jellicent

You have to upload your base online for others to be able to access them ,pokemonerd25, @skaterflips .

Oh sorry, it should be up now.

Safari: Cheese555 Type: Fairy Pokes: Jigglypuff, Marill, Swirlix (Not sure which one’s third slot)

Can’t you just leave a base using the tablet?

I said that you can use the tablet.

Nice base cow:D took me a little to figure it out

In the game

Once the player has entered Metchi Town , they are able to purchase a secret base and thus access the Friend Safari. A secret entrance to your secret base is located behind the bookcases in every Pokémon Center (2nd floor in Pokémalls). Players are able to go online and enter a friend's username to visit their base.

All Pokémon that appear in the Friend Safari are level 12-18. All Friend Safaris have three Pokémon that may be captured. Only Pokémon from the first "slot" will be available until the trainer has six Gym Badges, at which point two "slots" are available. The third and final "slot" is unlocked after receiving the eighth badge.

All three Pokémon are of the same type, determined randomly when the base is purchased. However, there are some cases such as Bidoof being spawned in a Water-type Safari, due to its evolved form being a Water-type Pokémon. This is the same for Poliwhirl , Corphish , Swablu , Seadra , Skrelp , Seel , Prinplup , Bunnelby , Pancham , Karrablast , Cacnea , Nosepass , and Pineco being spawned in a Safari where their evolved form has a new type which is the same type as the Safari.

It is possible for Woobat to spawn in both slots 1 and 2 for a Flying-type Safari.

There are some differences in the Pokémon encountered in the Friend Safari as opposed to the official games. Pokémon found here have a 5/4096 [or 1/819~] chance of being Shiny without a shiny charm, or a 7/4096 [1/585~] chance with a shiny charm. These Pokémon also are not guaranteed to have at least two IVs of 31 nor do they hold any items. Pokémon encountered here have a chance of 1/5 of having their Hidden Ability .
