In the games

Once the player has entered the Hall of Fame , they are able to access Kiloude City and thus the Friend Safari. At the Friend Safari, the player is able to access Safaris for any Friends that are successfully registered in the 3DS 's friend list (regardless of whether or not that person has played Pokémon X and Y ). Each Safari has designated Pokémon that can be encountered, all belonging to a designated type; these are determined by the Friend's friend code and will not change. As such, any players who successfully register a given friend code in their 3DS will all be able to access the exact same Friend Safari. There is no way for the player to access the Friend Safari for their own 3DS.

Friends who have been recognized in the PSS will usually be represented in the Friend Safari list by the avatar they were last seen with on the PSS, while Friends who have not been seen will be represented by a "?" icon. However, if the player has added more than 100 Friends (by deleting some at some point), the earliest-seen avatars may begin to be forgotten and revert to "?" icons until they are next seen on the PSS; this does not affect the rest of the Safari's status, however. Also, if a Friend is deleted from the 3DS's friend list and then readded later, their Safari may retain the status it had before it was deleted.

All Friend Safaris have three Pokémon that may be captured. Only Pokémon from the first two "slots" are available until the Friend to whom that Safari belongs enters the Hall of Fame and subsequently appears online in the PSS at the same time as the player (thereby also allowing the PSS to recognize the Friend if it had not already). Once all three "slots" are unlocked the Pokémon encountered in that Friend's Safari will thereafter have a chance of having their Hidden Ability .

All Pokémon encountered in the Friend Safari are guaranteed to have at least two IVs of 31 (three IVs of 31 for Pokémon that are in No Eggs Discovered , such as Togepi ) and have a higher chance of being Shiny . When checking for Shininess, the game generates up to four extra personality values to attempt to find a Shiny value, resulting in a Shiny encounter rate of approximately 1 - (4095/4096)^5 , or roughly 5/4096; this effect can stack with the Shiny Charm , which results in a rate of approximately 1 - (4095/4096)^7 , or roughly 7/4096. [1]

All Pokémon that appear in the Friend Safari are level 30 (causing some, such as Muk and Drapion , to be underleveled ). Pokémon can be found in the Friend Safari regardless of being Version-exclusive Pokémon or otherwise unobtainable in either version. All Friend Safari-exclusive Pokémon can be normally caught in either Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire , or both.

In the tables below, note that "rate" does not refer to encounter rate but rather the likelihood for a Pokémon to have been selected for that "slot" of a Friend Safari. All Pokémon that can appear in a given Friend's Safari have the same encounter rate.

Normal-type Safari

Fire-type safari, fighting-type safari, water-type safari, flying-type safari, grass-type safari, poison-type safari, electric-type safari, ground-type safari, psychic-type safari, rock-type safari, ice-type safari, bug-type safari.

If a Safari contains Vivillon , the form that appears will be the one corresponding to the current player's own location data, which won't necessarily match the location of the friend that provided the Safari.

Dragon-type Safari

Ghost-type safari, dark-type safari, steel-type safari, fairy-type safari.

• Initially, Vivillon 's icon would not replace the Poké Ball icon after it was encountered. This was fixed in the version 1.3 patch.
• Floette is the only Pokémon to have a greater than 50% chance of appearing in a Friend Safari.
• Cascoon is the only Pokémon to be found in a Friend Safari who does not match the designated type, as it is a pure Bug-type Pokémon found in a Poison-type Friend Safari. Its evolution , Dustox , however, is part Poison-type.

Friend Safari

Choosing Type Option.

The Friend Safari  is an area in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y where you can encounter Pokémon not native to the region, Pokémon exclusive to the other version, evolved (not fully) versions of the Kalos starters and Pokémon that are otherwise rare. To get it the player must have at least one friend registered in the Friend List of the 3DS. The Friend Safari Building is located in the top right corner of Kiloude City, which is accessible only post Elite Four and after the player speaks to Professor Sycamore at Lumiose City's Train Station.

New Features [ ]

Unlike the previous games' Safari Zones , the amount of available Friend Safaris rely on the amount of friend codes the player has registered to their 3DS.

There is no time limit or limit to the amount of steps you can take in the zone.

Each friend the player adds has different Pokémon themed to their safari (i.e. a person with Fire-type Safari will have only Fire Pokémon) and they enter their own safari. In order to discover what your own Friend Safari type is and what Pokémon lie within, you must utilize another player aid and have them enter your safari after sharing friend codes.

Every friend code registered in the 3DS will have a safari regardless of whether that friend owns X or Y or not. Those who don't play will only have two Pokémon in their corresponding Safari and Hidden Abilities will not be available. A friend safari will only appear in-game when both players have added the other's friend codes.

In order to unlock the 3rd Pokémon and a chance for each available Pokémon in that Friend Safari to have its Hidden Ability, two players who have shared Friend Codes must have beaten the Elite 4 and be online at the same time at least once in X or Y. After you have seen your friend's avatar in-game while going online via PSS, all 3 slots will be unlocked and Hidden Ability Pokémon can appear in that friend's safari whenever you enter.

Pokémon [ ]

The Pokémon that players will find in each safari varies accordingly, but the type of the Pokémon found will always stick to the typing of the Safari. Note: 2nd evolutions of starter Pokémon can be found.

Some of the Pokémon reportedly found so far:

Bug Type Safari [ ]

Dark type safari [ ], dragon type safari [ ], electric type safari [ ], fighting type safari [ ], fire type safari [ ], flying type safari [ ], ghost type safari [ ], grass type safari [ ], ground type safari [ ], ice type safari [ ], normal type safari [ ], poison type safari [ ], psychic type safari [ ], rock type safari [ ], steel type safari [ ], water type safari [ ].

You’ll discover plenty of things to do while exploring Kiloude City, one of the more popular destinations in Pokemon X and Y .  We already covered the exciting Battle Maison . Now it’s time to go on a Friend Safari, where you’ll have opportunities to capture Pokemon you would otherwise have to trade with other players or transfer from previous games to obtain. 

To go on a Friend Safari in Pokemon X and Y, you must select from registered players on your friend list. In fact, you stand to gain even more Pokemon if the chosen friend currently plays X or Y.  In addition, you’ll unlock a different Friend Safari for each registered friend code. Naturally, the more Safaris you access, the more Pokemon you’ll collect. 

To capture Pokemon during a Friend Safari, head outside and run through the tall grass. Pokemon you discover will correspond to the Safari type you chose. For instance, opting to go on an Ice Safari means finding Cloyster, Delibird and Sneasel, among others, while a Fire Safari may result in capturing Charmeleon, Larvesta or Magmar, to name a few. 

Friend Safari Tips  

• Pokemon captured during a Safari may possess hidden abilities.
• Normally you find two Pokemon on a Safari, but if the person registered entered the Hall of Fame, you’ll get three. 
• After going on a Safari, talk to the Judge in Kiloude City to reveal their potential. 

Here’s the complete list of Pokemon, by Safari type, that you can find. Pokemon with * after their names are ones you would only be able to get from a Pokemon Professor or via trades.

• Pokemon X and Y
• Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire

Friend Safari

The friend safari in Pokemon X and Y brings back the popular Pokemon Safari concept originally introduced in generation one, but with a twist. Unlike previous installments of the safari, the friend safari is based upon adding friends to your Nintendo 3DS friend list to gain access to explorable areas and Pokemon to catch.

Each friend you have, you get an area to explore for Pokemon. The type of Pokemon found in each area if the friend safari is also randomly determined for each friend in your list. There will be a friend safari for each Pokemon type and then for each type there will be a random selection of 3 Pokemon,meaning you will need friends of each type multiple times to get access to all of the Pokemon in the friend safari

Pokemon X Safari

The Pokemon found in the friend safari are all found at level 30 and can be battled to be caught instead of just allowing bait and rocks to be thrown at them. They may also have special/rare traits to them, making them great additions to your team. Version exclusiveness also does not apply when in the friend safari .

The friend safari is also a great place to begin your IV training for competitive battling. The Pokemon captured in the friend safari each have at least 2 perfect IVs, making them excellent for breeding.

The following are the Pokemon that you can capture in their respective friend safari zonez. The 3rd Pokemon of each type group cannot be accessed until the friend that you obtained the friend safari zone from has beaten the Pokemon league.

Pokemon X and Y: Friend Safari Basics/Tips Guide

Go to the Friend Safari so you can catch them all faster than ever before! Read our guide to learn how.

One of the interesting, and possibly misunderstood, additions to Pokemon X and Y is the highly social Friend Safari. The successor to Safari Zone is inherently social, but in a completely different way from smartphone games like Candy Crush Saga. The quantity of your Pokemon playing friends is not as important as their quality, or to better put it, their skill level. An early heads up, you have to finish the main game before trying this out.

After you defeat the Elite Four, you can go to Lumiose’s train station, where Professor Sycamore is waiting with a Rail Ticket to Kiloude City. At the left of the city is a house with a red roof, also pictured below. This is Friend Safari.

In Friend Safari, you can visit safaris your fellow Pokemon playing friends have made and registered. You will be able to catch three Pokemon there. Two of them are Level 30 Pokemon, and are frequently console exclusive. The third Pokemon is one of those only available in Friend Safari.

Awesome, right? But to make use of Friend Safari, you’ll need to have friends in real life, who have also finished Pokemon X and Y I mean.

Let me lay out the steps to ensure you can get a 3 rd Pokemon:

1.     When you find a fellow Pokemon player who will work with you, enter their Friend Code into your Friends List, from the 3DS Home screen. Your Friendship status should  change from Provisional to either Online or Offline.

2.     Next, you both need to have beat the Elite Four and received access to the Friend Safari.

3.     Finally, make sure your wireless is on and turn on Internet in game. If everything has gone without a hitch, you will be able to get 3 Pokemon from the Friend Safari.

Now, here are some tips to make the most out of Friend Safari:

·         Use a Pokemon with Trace as the leader. This way, you can check if the Pokemon you come across already has their Primary Ability, Secondary Ability, or Hidden Ability.

·         Give your leader the Smoke Ball, so that it can easily escape from hairy situations.

·         If you’re looking for Dittos for breeding, use Pokemon with Sturdy Ability as leaders. Sturdy will bring Dittos  down to as much as 1 HP. These Pokemon should not have any damage dealing moves. Bergmite is ideal. When the Ditto transforms it, you can easily swap it out and hit the Ditto hard. To improve your chances of catching it, try paralyzing or putting it to sleep as well.

Got any tips you’d like to share? We’ve been making Pokemon X and Y guides for a while now, feel free to share your knowledge with us below.
