Safari Zone HGSS · Johto Area

Safari Zone in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver — Safari Zone Gate (HeartGold and SoulSilver)

The Johto Safari Zone sits at the end of Route 48, west of Cianwood City, and opens once you’ve cured Jasmine’s Ampharos. It is run by Baoba, who used to own the Kanto Safari Zone, and unlike the classic version it has no step or time limit and lets you rebuild the park yourself. You place six areas, chosen from twelve types, into a layout using the Area Customizer.

Region: Johto
Wild Pokémon: 76
Items: 3

Tips

Entry costs ₽500 for 30 Safari Balls, and your visit lasts until you use them up or leave.
Baoba’s first challenge is to catch a Geodude in the Peak area; complete it and he calls later with another to add the Desert area and catch a Sandshrew.
After you get the National Pokédex, Baoba starts calling about blocks you can place in areas; new block types unlock as time passes.
Some species only appear once you place certain blocks or an area has been in place for enough days, such as Fearow in the Peak with five Forest blocks.
The gate sells vitamins (Protein, Iron, Calcium, Zinc, Carbos and HP Up) plus Nest, Dusk and Quick Balls.
The gate area hides three TinyMushrooms.
