Pokemon Friend Safari | Gotta Friend 'em All

On the official Pokemon XY OT lots of people are asking around for friend codes for the safari.
I thought I'd make a one place stop for friend codes, and safari talk, as it can be easily get lost within the OT.

What is Friend Safari?

It is a Safari like the older games had, but it works in a sense that your friends friend codes gives them a type. SO for instance, you could have someone added on your 3DS, you go to the friend safari and their typing is Ice.

How many Pokemon can one Friend Safari have?
Max is 3, if they haven't beaten the Elite Four they will only have 2.

So how does it work?
Unlike the traditional Safari, you can use your Pokemon. Instead of Safari Balls, you use whatever Poke Ball you have on you. You can weaken the Pokemon, and then catch it, just like on Routes.

Okay, so when do I unlock this?
After you beat the Elite Four, its in a previously unaccessible town.

Please use this document so everyone on GAF can add each other.

If you add someone, make sure to PM them so they know.
 
Also, make sure to add that pokemon caught within the safari usually have one to two max IV stats, and usually above average-superior overall IV's.
 
Can someone tell me what my encounters are?
 
Can you tell what "type" your friend safari is? Is it based on your top 3 pokemon in your slot or random?

Also if I have 2 friends with lets say the ice safari will I find all ice pokemon on one fc or are the pokemon split up into a bunch of different FC codes in order to encourage adding more peeps?

You need someone else to tell you what type you are and what 'mon you have.

For example, I have been discovered to be Fire and anyone doing my safari will see only Charmeleon, Pansear and Braixen.

thanks! My friend code is 1134-7217-0996

add me yall and let me know what I've got. I'm on victory road so I'll beat the elite 4 today.
 
Note that the third won't appear for people unless their game has seen you online. Then it triggers that it's open.
 
Do encounters change and is there way for that?

Each friend is a set type and set 2/3 Pokémon. That won't ever change unless they get a new 3DS as it's the 3DS Friend Code that generates this.

This means that people who don't even own Pokémon can be on your friend list and have a Safari for you.
 
Added everyone on the list that was there by 1:20 PM EDT. I would PM everyone who asked, but that's like 30-50 PMs I would need to send. Much easier if you just add my FC.

I'll be checking the list again tomorrow and I'll add all the new FCs that have been added.
 
Put myself on the list, I'll be adding some later today.

Thanks to Dark Orchid for telling me my type and Pokémon. :)
 
Add me and PM me your Friend Code if you add me! Though I haven't beaten the Elite Four yet
and supposedly my Friend Safari collection is crappy Bug-types
:( .

I'll throw myself up on the list, though I just got the game, so unfortunately have no idea what my type or specific pokemon are.

FC: 3153-3730-9713

Now to go make a gigantic PM list, lol.

Added you!

My FC is: 3024-5265-5661

If you add me, just PM me yours and I'll get back later on. Hype
 
I discovered that you can visit another person's safari, even if they didn't register you. You obviously can't get hidden abilities that way, but if you just wanted a certain Pokémon; you can do that...

Is there something you need to do to manage this? People who haven't added me don't show up.
 
Added myself to the sheet, but I'm at work so I can't add anyone else. Plan to add everyone else above me.


Could someone let me know what my type is? Thanks!
 
Added myself to the list, my pokemon and type were from a friend but he was going by memory. If they're wrong, and someone has me on their friend safari please PM me to let me know.
 
Alright, I added everybody on the list. Took a while, and honestly I don't think I can PM each person on that list to add me back...

Sooo, my FC is 3110-4022-8808

If your FC is on that list, then I have already added you. Just add me back please. :D I'll try PMing some of you later but I have stuff I need to do. Pokemon will be on and online regardless.

PS: Would like to know what pokemon are in my safari. No one I know has beaten the E4 yet.
