Pokemon GO has announced a new Safari Zone and City Safari event for September in South Korea and Indonesia. The Safari Zone is a recurring ticketed Pokemon GO event that takes place in different locations around the world. Since last year, Niantic has introduced Pokemon GO City Safari, a new Safari Zone format in which trainers explore the host city instead of a specific location.
The Safari Zone was first held in 2017, with Pokemon GO players in Germany, France, and Spain joining in-person activities such as encounters with Pokemon from Kanto and Johto. Since then, the event has passed through countries such as Brazil, Japan, and Canada, with the first City Safari taking place last year in South Korea, with rewards like shiny Eeveelutions for Pokemon GO players. The City Safari and the Safari Zone are back for Pokemon GO, with rewards and bonuses for trainers.
Pokemon GO Player Catches Super Rare Version of Bidoof
Bidoof may not be one of the most powerful Pokemon, but a Pokemon GO player shows off a super rare version of the critter that they found.
Pokemon GO has announced a new City Safari and Safari Zone event that will take place in September in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Incheon, South Korea. The Pokemon GO City Safari: Jakarta takes place on September 21-22 as part of Pikachu's Indonesia Journey, with creatures such as Flying Pikachu, Tropius, and Noibat appearing during the event. For the first time in Jakarta, trainers will encounter Skiddo, and a new Pokemon GO Special Research will reward them with an encounter of Eevee wearing an explorer's hat. Players will have the chance to hatch Gible and three other Pokemon from 7 KM eggs, and Pichu, Togepi, and Mantyke from 2 KM eggs. Ticket-holder trainers will enjoy benefits such as an increased chance of finding shiny Pokemon, longer-lasting Lure Modules, and trades costing less Stardust.

- Pokemon GO Safari Zone: Incheon: September 27-29
Pokemon GO Safari Zone: Incheon takes place September 27-29 in Songdo Central Park. During the event, players will encounter Pokemon such as Pikachu wearing a safari hat, Feebas, and the Unown I, C, and N, the latter three among Pokemon GO's rarest critters. Like the City Safari taking place in Indonesia, South Korean Pokemon GO players with tickets will have access to various benefits, including additional trades and an exclusive medal.
While September has exciting content for Asian Pokemon GO players, global trainers also have a lot to look forward to. Mega Lucario debuts in Pokemon GO on Ultra Unlock Raid Day, with Niantic finally adding this anticipated Mega evolution. Shiny Togedemaru will be added to the game in the Ultra Unlock: Strength of Steel event, while Pokemon GO has confirmed that Poplio will be the Pokemon featured in August's Community Day.
