The Safari Zone is a special Pokémon preserve in Torren that Trainers can enter to capture Pokémon. It is divided into five different areas: two grassy areas, one water area, one desert-like area, and a hidden area. In addition to the geography, the Pokémon encountered in each area are very different.
For 500, the player can play the Safari Game and receive 30 Safari Balls. Trainers are limited to 600 steps in the Safari Zone before the Game is over.
In the Safari Zone, when a wild Pokémon appears, Trainers cannot send out Pokémon to battle it. Instead, Trainers must face Pokémon only with simple tools, and catching a Pokémon becomes much more reliant on luck, as Pokémon are able to run away from the Trainer at any time.
The Safari Zone is also rumored by the locals of Nasca Town to be the home of a Legendary Pokémon.
Walkthough
The Safari Zone is an optional area that gives the player the opportunity to capture a number of exclusive Pokémon. There is also a chance to catch two different legendary Pokémon depending on the player's progression in the story.
Finding Thundurus
- Travel northwest, passing the two pink shrubs next to a lady riding a bike.
- Travel north up three sets of stairs where a set of stairs leading eastward will be visible.
- Go down these steps and then proceed north, going up two more sets of stairs.
- Find another set of stairs heading east.
- Go down these steps and travel southeast of the bridge until finding a white wormhole. Use Tesseract in order to proceed.
- After using Tesseract, surf to the southeast corner of the zone and use Dive.
- Go through the cave and dive back up into a different area.
- Use Tesseract on the white wormhole on the left. The player will come back to the present and see a red wormhole to the south of them.
- Use Tesseract on the wormhole to the south.
- Push the boulder straight up in between the two green shrubs next to the pit.
- Use Tesseract again on the white wormhole to the left. Once back in the past, there will be another red wormhole north of where the boulder was placed. Use Tesseract on this wormhole once more.
- Using Tesseract, the boulder will then appear in the past. Push the boulder inside of the pit adjacent to it.
- After all of that, go back into the present and hop across the pit using the boulder and encounter the wild Thundurus. Note that though the player is still within the Safari Zone, Thundurus will be battled using normal methods and will be captured using the standard Poké Balls found in the player's bag.
Starting Tornadus Chase
- After getting Waterfall, climbing the waterfall in the northeast section will put the player into a new area with Tornadus sitting there. Trying to interact with him causes him to run away to the lower portion of Route 6, which is accessible from Route 15.
