The Safari Zone is one of the best places to help you catch ’em all in Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen. It’s one of the most diverse areas in Kanto for catching a range of Pokemon, so it’s well worth spending some time here if you’re trying to complete your Pokedex. But with four different areas and some version-exclusive Pokemon lurking in them, you may be looking for a list of all Safari Zone Pokemon in Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen. To help you out, I’ve broken down the Pokemon that can be found in each area, and which version of the game they can be found in below.

All Safari Zone Pokemon in Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen

Below, we’ve listed the Pokemon you can find in each of the Safari Zone’s four areas. If there are version exclusive Pokemon, either just for what you can find in the Safari Zone, or across the entire game, we’ve listed them in the ‘Versions’ column.

While the same Pokemon can typically be found across all four areas, the level of the Pokemon typically increases the ‘higher’ the number of the area you’re in. For example, a Psyduck you catch in the West Area (Zone 3), will likely be a higher level than one you catch in the Center Area.
