In South Korea and Indonesia, New City Safari and Safari Zone events provide ticketed trainers with exclusive Pokemon encounters and rewards. The Pokemon GO City Safari format allows players to explore host cities and earn various rewards. In the upcoming months, global trainers can look forward to the debut of Mega Lucario, the addition of shiny Togedemaru, and a Popplio Community Day.

Upcoming Pokemon GO Safari Zone and City Safari Events in South Korea and Indonesia

In September, Pokemon GO will be hosting a new Safari Zone and City Safari event in South Korea and Indonesia. The Safari Zone is a recurring ticketed event that takes players to different locations around the world, while the City Safari format allows trainers to explore the host city itself.

The Safari Zone event has been a part of Pokemon GO since 2017, with players in countries like Germany, France, Spain, Brazil, Japan, and Canada previously participating in in-person activities and encountering rare Pokemon. Last year, Niantic introduced the new Pokemon GO City Safari format, which debuted in South Korea and rewarded players with shiny Eeveelutions.

Now, the Pokemon GO City Safari: Jakarta will take place on September 21-22 as part of Pikachu's Indonesia Journey. Trainers can expect to encounter Pokemon like Flying Pikachu, Tropius, and Noibat during the event, and for the first time in Jakarta, they will be able to find Skiddo. A new Special Research will also reward players with an Eevee wearing an explorer's hat. Ticket-holding trainers will enjoy benefits such as an increased shiny rate, longer-lasting Lure Modules, and reduced Stardust costs for trades.

Additionally, the Ultra Unlock: Strength of Steel event will introduce shiny Togedemaru, and the August Community Day will feature the water-type starter Pokemon, Popplio.
