SAFARI

Where the Safari Zone puts you, what it lets you meet, and what the hints are actually telling you.

The biomes

7 biomes. Which one you are in decides what can appear, and a biome with a base rule ignores everything that does not fit it.

How deep you have gone

Depth is the only thing that lifts the ceiling on what can turn up. The first stretch keeps to smaller Pokemon, and far enough in there is no ceiling left at all. Turning back is always an option, and the exit hint is the one that tells you where it is.

Reading a path

Before you pick a direction you get a line about it. It is weighted, never a guarantee, which is what makes choosing a read rather than a menu.
