In a continued effort to engage its global fanbase, Pokemon GO has announced new Safari Zone and City Safari events set to take place in South Korea and Indonesia this September. These events promise unique Pokemon encounters and special rewards, continuing a tradition that has captivated players worldwide.

Overview of Safari Zone and City Safari

The Safari Zone concept, first introduced in 2017, allows players to engage in exclusive Pokemon encounters in specific locations worldwide. The evolution of this concept led to the creation of the City Safari, where the exploration extends to an entire city, offering a broader and more immersive experience. This format was first tested in South Korea last year and met with enthusiastic participation from the community.
