In Pokémon GO, live events like the Safari Zone will start again this year. There will be a new Shiny in Seville – trainers are also hoping for the rest of the world.
What kind of event is this? Not only the date for the Pokémon GO Fest 2022 has been announced, but also the first Safari Zone has been announced.
However, unlike the global GO Fest, this is a local event. The first Safari Zone 2022 will officially take place in Seville, Spain.
When does the Safari Zone run? It takes place from May 13 to 15, 2022, but only in “Parque del Alamillo” Seville. It is also necessary to purchase a ticket for the event.
Meanwhile, details about the event have also been revealed.
The Safari Zone has bonuses on board, but not worldwide
What does the Safari Zone offer? Among other things, there will be some attractions and actions in the real world on-site. In addition, there will be encounters with various monsters in the game, most of which can also appear as Shiny.
The highlights here are probably monsters like the normally regionally bound Tauros to the USA, Unown “E” and especially: Krebscorps.
The latter is coming as a completely new Shiny in the game. The shiny version has not been available in Pokémon GO yet and is likely to become a popular monster at the event.
This is how it looks in the rest of the world: In the Pokémon GO subreddit “TheSilphRoad,” the event is currently being discussed. Some players there are also wishing for global event bonuses, like user “krispyboyz”: “I really hope they bring back the global mini-Safari Zone events that coincided with these events in the past. Increased Shiny rates for Krebscorps would be nice, but even if they spawn with normal chances for the rest of us, I would still take it” (via reddit).
However, it does not look good in that respect. The official event page even clearly states: “Note: There is no global gameplay component to this live event” (via pokemongolive).
So it currently looks like there will be no special spawns during the Safari Zone for the rest of the world.
It is also to be assumed that Shiny Krebscorps will initially only appear at the Seville event. A similar case already occurred with Sandshrew: Its Shiny variant was originally available only at an event in Japan.
However, Sandshrew then also appeared worldwide just a few weeks later. So one can at least hope that Shiny Krebscorps will not take too long to arrive in the rest of the world.
