Safari So Good

[Absol trainer]

I've never been able to catch a tauros untill this day. One time I even got to throw 10 balls in a row, and it still wouldn't stay in the ball.

 

[TDawg]

I have never ever even seen a chansey in FR

 

[rotomaster]

Kangaskhan. I'm not sure if I've ever caught one of them.
Chansey I caught after a fair bit of time, Tauros I caught IMMEDIATLY. Seriously, first time I entered the area where Tauros is, he was the first one I saw and the first Safari Ball worked. Really awesome considering I was going to use him on my in-game team and thought it would take forever to find him.

 

[Arceus94]

Does Tauros even excist there?
I have spent countless hours trying to capture one
it NEVER worked. It NEVER appeared.
Or yes. It did come once. So i knew I was in the right area

 

[~Ace]

Thats kind of strange, Chansey appears a lot more ften than Pinsirs do..

 

[Razor Xtreme]

I've caught all of them (minus Pinsir, since I don't have LG) besides Tauros. I've encountered him three times, havent caught him once.

 

[The Red Thunder]

They're all difficult to be sure, but I've managed to catch all five. But, it was tough enough that I actually dread the day that I ever desire going after a Lucky Egg.

To catch the Kangaskhan in my current Fire Red replay, it took me well over twenty attempts.

Someone else on another thread pointed out Dragonair is another hard to find/catch Safari poke. Which is true, I've never found one.

 

[Meowth City]

I have never been able to catch any of them in FRLG, but I did manage to catch a Chansey in the original RBY games. I tried to catch them all at least 20 times but could never do it, so I gave up. I only needed those Pokemon for my Pokedex in Diamond and SS, so I just caught them in those games instead.

 

[POKEMONISDUMB!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Scyther and Chansey. They took a very long time for me to capture. They kept running away, and I kept running out of Safari Balls.

 

[Chrysaries]

i caught a SHINY RHYHORN there i was so afraid it would run away lol

 

[cleftboywonder]

i personally find that tauros and kangaskan are like the rarest pokemon in the safari zone. Also venomoth has been kind of hard to catch with any regularity.

 

[nathandg0924]

Chansey and Kangaskhan are the hardest to catch. I could never catch them, ever...
Seriously, that's one thing why I hate Safari zones. >__<

 

[Buchou]

I've caught them all except Kangaskhan.

 

[DarumakkaImposter]

Chansey, I can't seem to recall running into more than 2.

 

[Rezzuréct]

I've caught all Pokemon on Safari Zone except Chansey

 

[pokeninja123]

i've never caught a tauros. ever

 

[dancingmonkey]

Got them all. I just go to the section where each one lives, then stand on a spot and do circles. You can look for pokemon indefinitely if you do that, the step counter never advances (I'm sure you all knew that though).

The rare ones will appear roughly every 20 pokemon, and I can stay there till I'm bored, or run out of balls. I flee from stuff I've caught, so unless I see 30 chanseys in a row, I'm fine. Normally I end up quitting becasue the train has got me to work instead (I play more on the tube to work then anywhere else these days).

They are all a pain in the butt, but with patience and a bit of luck, then you can get them all. I've got Red and Green so can swap between them as needed, both have been played through multiple times so I can always sub on older caught mon also.

I'm currently going back through Gen 3 and recatching my complete dex (minux Cerebi and Deoxys of course) as I moved them all up to Pearl/Diamond a long time ago. So I've been spending quite a bit of time in the zone.

 

[Waluigi123]

For me it goes like this:

Chansey: 2nd hardest to find, hardest to catch.

Tauros: Hardest to find, 2nd hardest to catch.

Kangaskhan: Easiest to find, easiest to catch.

For some reason, I've never even seen a Pinsir in Safari Zone in my Leaf Green...

 

[Slushy456]

I'm trying for to catch a Kangaskhan right now =/ ugh. it hurts my head. it is difficult for me to catch... which is surprising, since I have already caught 3 chanseys but yeah...
