are there any strategies for the safari zone? (other than throw safari balls) and are pokeblocks good?

Pokeblocks help lure more Pokemon to the area, I think. Throwing a Pokeblock when you encounter them makes them stay, I know that.

I don't use them. I only use them for contests and stuff ^.^  

are there any non-rsyduck pokes in the water?

Well-known member.

Pokeblocks don't help that much. I've caught all the safari Pokiemon without ever using one.  

<-- Solves any case!

pokeblocks help. but only if the pokemon has the right nature. It will run less easely. It can still run however, even if the pokemon has te right nature but the chances are just smaller. Further if you're searching for a specific nature put a SINGLE flavour pokeblock in those feeders (those white blocks in the midle of the grass) and you'll get only pokemon of a nature that corrosponts with that flavour. (if you use bunnyhop on the acrobike the pokeblock stays there and you can stay as long as you desire to stay in the safari zone.) example: red for attack boosting nature. that way i caught 10 herracross with attackboosting nature.  

If you are looking for a rare pokemon, go to its area an only slightly tap the D-pad, that way you will still remain in one spot, only facing a different direction, using this, won't waste the 500 steps. Also when looking for pikachu, you can use a pokemon with static to find it easier, or a pokemon with compound eyes to get a pokemon with an item. Synchronize will make it easier to catch pokemon with the same nature.

you amaze me.

Either Pokeblocks or you could catch a wild Tropius or Oddish/Gloom and use it's Sweet Sent to lure pokemon to you.  

pokeblocks don't lure the pokemon. they just make 5 certain natures appear. (namely the ones that like that specific flavour) for making them appear without using ACROBIKE (not pokeblocks) you could use sweetscent.

Hoenn Safari Zone

The Hoenn Safari Zone (Japanese: サファリゾーン Safari Zone ) is a special Pokémon preserve where Trainers can enter to catch wild Pokémon . The entrance is on Hoenn 's Route 121 .

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire , and Emerald , this Safari Zone is only accessible to Trainers participating in the Safari Game. In a Safari Game, players may only use Safari Balls , and rather than weaken wild Pokémon in battle, players must use non-conventional tactics to try and catch them. For $ 500, the player is granted entry and 30 Safari Balls. In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player is limited to 500 steps and the player is only allowed entry if they also have a Pokéblock Case .

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire , the Safari Game has been removed, and players can enter the Safari Zone area without paying a fee. Pokémon found here are now collected through normal battles. Each area also now has both tall and long grass , and while encounters between them are mostly the same, two rare Pokémon in each area can only be found in one type of grass specifically.

Certain areas of the Safari Zone can only be accessed with the Mach Bike or the Acro Bike . In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, all areas are accessible with either Bike and Surf , but in some areas, only one type of grass will be accessible without using the other Bike. In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, there are also breakable rocks that can be used to encounter Pokémon. In Emerald , after the player obtains the National Pokédex , two new areas will open up to the east, featuring many Johto Pokémon not found in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire or Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen .

• In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Acro Bike and Surf are required to reach the long grass within this area.
• In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Mach Bike is required to reach the long grass within this area.
• In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Mach Bike is required to access this area.
• In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Mach Bike is required to reach the tall grass within this area, while the Acro Bike is required to reach the long grass.
• In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Acro Bike is required to access this area.
• In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Acro Bike is required to reach the tall grass within this area, while the Mach Bike and Surf are required to reach the long grass.
• Area 5 is directly east of Area 1. It is only accessible in Emerald , and only after the player has entered the Hall of Fame .
• Area 6 is directly north of Area 5. It is only accessible in Emerald, and only after the player has entered the Hall of Fame.

Pokéblock feeders

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire , and Emerald , there are Pokéblock feeders throughout the Safari Zone. If a Pokéblock is placed in a feeder, 80% of wild Pokémon encountered in grass patches and water tiles up to five steps away from the feeder will be forced to have a Nature such that, if an identically flavored Pokéblock were thrown at it, the Pokémon would be enthralled (i.e. its preferred flavor dominates its disliked flavor in the Pokéblock); the feeder has no effect if no such Nature exists. Only one Pokéblock may occupy a feeder, and the feeder's effect disappears after 100 steps are taken.

Due to an oddity in the programming of Pokéblock feeders, forced natures do not have a uniform distribution. This causes natures with higher ID numbers to be more common than Natures with lower ID numbers. For example, if a green (bitter) Pokéblock is in the feeder and forces an enthralling Nature: Calm has an 8.71% chance to be forced, Gentle has a 15.61% chance to be forced, Sassy has a 27.66% chance to be forced, and Careful has a 48.02% chance to be forced (approximately).

Safari Game

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, this Safari Zone is only accessible to Trainers participating in the Safari Game. In a Safari Game, players may only use Safari Balls; rather than weaken them in battle, players must use non-conventional tactics to try and catch wild Pokémon. There are four options on the battle screen: throw a Safari Ball , throw a Pokéblock , go near, and run away. Throwing Pokéblocks makes a Pokémon less likely to run, while going near makes a Pokémon easier to catch but more likely to run.

Pokémon found in the Safari Zone carry two values with them that are used for the mechanics of the Safari Game. First is the "catch factor", which starts at 100/1275 of the Pokémon's catch rate , rounded down. Furthermore, there is an "escape factor", which represents the probability that a Pokémon will escape at the end of each turn. This "escape factor" starts with a value of 3 which results in a 15% chance to flee per turn.

Depending on the action taken, the catch and escape factors are modified as follows:

If a Pokémon's "escape factor" is reduced below 0 * , it will be adjusted to a value of 1. If a Pokémon's escape factor is currently 1: Pokéblocks are unable to affect it.

Throwing a Pokéblock that the Pokémon completely ignores does not directly affect the escape factor, but does increment the Pokéblock counter used for subsequent Pokéblock throws. A Pokémon is enthralled by a Pokéblock if its preferred flavor dominates its disliked flavor, while a Pokémon completely ignores it if its disliked flavor dominates its preferred flavor. If both preferred and disliked flavors are equal (including if neither are present), the Pokémon is curious about the Pokéblock.

If a player chooses to throw a Safari Ball, the catch factor is multiplied by 1275/100 (rounded down) to obtain the modified catch rate. At the beginning of each turn, a randomly generated value from 0 to 99 (inclusive) is obtained, and if this value is less than 5 times the escape factor, the Pokémon will escape at the end of the turn unless captured. Modifications to a Pokémon's escape rate will not take effect until the following turn.

These numbers translate to a 5% change in probability of escaping for every unit change (plus or minus 1) in the escape factor, with an initial 15% chance of escape; and approximately a 2.5% change in probability of capture for every unit change in the capture factor, with an initial capture probability of approximately catch rate/510 rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.025 (2.5%), or 0.025 if it would be less.

Pokéblock throw bug

In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, instead of the escape factor having a minimum value of 1 (5% chance to flee) like the catch factor, the game is coded to set the escape factor to 1 if it would become negative due to a thrown Pokéblock. This means it is possible for the player to throw Pokéblocks such that a Pokémon's escape factor becomes exactly 0, and the Pokémon will have a 0% chance to escape. Exploiting this can make it very easy to catch Hoenn Safari Zone Pokémon. Though, it is worth noting that if the "escape factor" is ever equal to 1, the game will not reduce it further regardless of which Pokéblocks are thrown by the player.

Due to an oddity in the programming of Pokéblock Feeders, the distribution of wild Pokémon's natures is not even across each of the possibilities. This causes Calm Pokémon to only spawn in 1/10 encounters if a bitter Pokéblock is in the feeder while Careful natured Pokémon will occur in nearly 4/10 encounters. This gives players an opportunity to greatly increase the effectiveness of their Pokéblock manipulation.

The optimal catching strategy for exploiting this is as follows:

Make these three single- flavor Pokéblocks: two green * (bitter) Pokéblocks, and one red * (spicy) Pokéblock. Put the green * Pokéblock into a feeder and start a wild encounter near that feeder.

Note: this can be done with yellow * , pink * , blue * , and green * Pokéblocks in the feeder; green * is just the most effective. With any of these colors make a red * Pokéblock as well. If you would like to use a red * Pokéblock in the feeder pair it with a yellow * (sour) Pokéblock.

When the battle starts...

• If the Pokémon's catch rate is higher than 200, throw Safari Balls .
• 1) If the Pokémon is curious (escape factor = 0), throw Safari Balls .
• 2a) If the Pokémon is enthralled (escape factor = 0), throw Safari Balls .
• 2b) If the Pokémon is curious (escape factor = 1), throw Safari Balls .
• 3) If the Pokémon is enthralled (escape factor = 1), throw Safari Balls .

This strategy results in, at minimum, a 75.88% chance to catch any Pokémon that appears.

The Safari Zone Pokémon Catch Rate goes as follows:

Vending Machine

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire , there is a Vending Machine at the entrance to the Safari Zone.

Generation III

Generation vi.

• No Pokémon introduced in Generation III appear in this Safari Zone.
• In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire , the entrance to the Safari Zone has a book titled "The Path of the Safari Zone" written by the founder of the Safari Zone.
• In Pokémon Emerald , the Rare Candy in Area 6 cannot be picked up if the player tries to pick it up while facing it from the north or the west.
• Hoenn Safari Zone Areas 1, 2, and 4 from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire can be found in the internal data of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen . However, the tileset data is missing, so the maps are glitched.
• Both Aipom and Gligar can be found in the Emerald expansion of the Safari Zone, both of which would become version exclusive Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violets DLC: The Teal Mask.

Evolving Pokemon without Evolutionary Stones

Prerequisites:

• A Pokémon that evolves by Evolution Stone, such as Clefairy, Staryu, or Pikachu, as the first Pokemon in your party.
• Exeggutor - Moon Stone
• HEX 20 Missingno. - Fire Stone
• Psyduck - Leaf Stone
• Growlithe - Thunderstone
• Onix - Water Stone
• Get into a battle with a trainer or wild Pokémon (the former is the superior choice in most cases).
• Have the first Pokémon in your party—the one you're trying to evolve—gain a level.
• Switch out the Pokémon you're trying to evolve and put the Pokémon that corresponds to the necessary Evolution Stone.
• Have that Pokémon finish the trainer battle

Catching Safari Zone Pokémon

This glitch can be used to make encountering and catching hard-to-find Safari Zone Pokémon, like Chansey and Kangaskhan, easier. It can also be used to encounter any Pokemon from any Route simply by changing your location from the Safari Zone to the desired location. However, this glitch cannot be performed on the Yellow version.

• Access to Fuscia City and Cinnibar Island
• A Pokémon with Fly
• A Pokémon with Surf
• Enter the Safari Zone.
• Either Retire or run around and use up all your time.
• Upon exiting, Fly to Cinnibar Island.
• Go to the coast that is next to the gym facing the Seafoam Islands.
• Surf up and down. You will run into Pokémon normally obtainable only in the Safari Zone and will be able to weaken and catch them without them running away.

Level 1 to 100 Glitch

Using this glitch will allow you to increase the level of a given Surprise Pokémon (one encountered using the Ditto or Mew Glitches) from Level 1 to Level 100 by manipulating how the game handles leveling up. Note that this can only be performed on three-stage Pokémon (ex. Bulbasaur line, Charmander line, ect.) and Mew.

• Stand close enough to a long-ranged Trainer so that if you take one step towards them, they will challenge you.
• Hit start before the Trainer can walk up to you.
• Use Fly, Dig, Teleport, or an Escape Rope to transfer you to a Pokémon Center.
• Have a Pokémon that knows Growl.
• Growl at the desired Pokémon six times. This will make the Surprise Pokemon Level 1 (make sure this trainer has a vision of at least two tiles, so the Trainer can walk up to you; if the Trainer does not walk, your game will freeze).
• Defeat the trainer and make sure the last Pokemon you defeated had the desired Special stat.
• Return to the long-ranged Trainer.
• The start menu will pop up. Press B and exit it.
• Catch the Level 1 Surprise Pokémon.
• Make sure the Level 1 Pokémon is in the front of your party and that you have five other Pokémon.
• Encounter a Pokémon that is Level 9 or lower.
• Switch five times to different Pokémon. (This will make sure that you get less than 54 experience points.)

If done correctly, the Surprise Pokémon will grow from Level 1 to 100, which is exceedingly helpful for those who don't want to use the Missingo. Glitch and don't have a Game Shark. It also makes it easier to Stat Exp. train your Pokémon using the Box Trick .

Link Cable Glitch

Using this glitch will also allow one player to encounter Surprise Pokémon. For simplicity's sake, the two players involved in performing the glitch will be called A and B. It should also be noted that Player B must have a Pokémon that knows Dig in their party; Teleport and Escape Ropes are not usable substitutes.

• A trains a Pokémon until its Special is the number needed to generate the desired Pokémon.
• A deposits all of his Pokémon to the PC until he / she is left only with the Pokémon that has calibrated Special stat.
• Go to the PC.
• Change the Pokémon Box.
• Reload and beat the Pokémon League.
• B enters the Safari Zone.
• B exits the Safari Zone, but when asked, "Leaving early?", replies "No."
• Once B is back in the Safari Zone, B saves his / her game without moving.
• B resets and loads his / her game.
• B exits the Safari Zone (this time, B won't be asked, "Leaving early?").
• A and B link up and battle at the Colosseum.
• B defeats A.
• After the battle, B starts walking around inside the Colosseum. A resets and loads his / her game (after B takes 500 steps, the PA will ring; B will be transported back to the Safari House).
• B enters the Safari Zone again (once inside, B does not go into any fields).
• B uses Dig to return to the last Pokémon Center visited.
• B walks back to the long-ranged Trainer that he's triggered.
• B's start menu will pop up.
• B will close the Start menu and a Surprise Pokémon will appear. It will be the desired Pokémon.
• B catches it.
• B goes to the nearest PC and changes the Pokémon Box.
• B loads his / her game. B's Save option will be back on the Start menu and the Reset option will be gone.

Pokémon Decimal Listing

• Nidoran (M)
• Nidoran (F)
• Seaking (Beyond this point, you will need to use the Ditto Glitch or the Missingno. Glitch to get a "Surprise Pokémon.")
• Victreebel (Beyond this point, there are no more real Pokémon.)
• Glitch #250 (Ho-Oh?)
• Glitch #61 (Poliwhirl?)
• Glitch #234 (Stantler?) (Type 1 = Pokémaniac)
• Glitch #94 (If you don't have Gastly, game halts after capture.)
• Glitch #62 (Poliwrath?)
• Nameless Trainer (Halts Game)
• Bug Catcher
• Male Jr. Trainer
• Female Jr. Trainer
• Bird Keeper
• Rival (From Pokemon League)
• Professor Oak
• Male Cooltrainer
• Female Cooltrainer
• Nameless Trainer (Can be beaten, but messes up graphics after battle)

If a Pokémon's Special goes over 255, the list repeats itself. A Pokémon with a Special of 256 will generate the same thing as a Pokémon with a Special of 0.

Yellow-Only Tips and Tricks

Easier rival.

To make your rival's team weaker when he is the champion, simply lose the rival battles in Oak's Lab and either lose or skip the battle on Route 22. Losing will cause his Eevee to evolve into a Vaporeon, the single Eeveelution weak to Pikachu's Electric-type attacks.

Side Note: Winning one of the two battles will cause his Eevee to evolve into a Flareon, and winning both will cause it to evolve into a Jolteon.
