In Pokémon Yellow only, if the player does not have the required $500 to enter the Safari Zone, they can instead pay all of their money and receive a number of Safari Balls proportional to the amount paid. If they have no money, they can enter for free and receive a single Safari Ball.

In the anime
In the main series
In EP035, Kaiser gave Ash and his friends 30 Safari Balls to be used within the Kanto Safari Zone. Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon with them, but ended up using all of his Safari Balls on nothing but Tauros. The Safari Balls containing Ash's Tauros reappeared in Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral; however, for an unexplained reason, whenever Ash has subsequently used one of his Tauros in a battle, it's been sent out from a standard Poké Ball.
A Safari Ball appeared in Which One ~ Is It?, a Japanese ending theme from the Diamond & Pearl series, also marking the debut of the Ball's in-game design in the anime.
In Pokémon Origins
In File 4: Charizard, Red was seen catching a Chansey with a Safari Ball.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Safari Balls first appeared in Long Live the Nidoking! and A Hollow Victreebel, where Red received some from the robotic Safari Zone guide called Pidgebot, eventually catching a huge herd of Safari Zone Pokémon with them.
In A Skuffle with Skorupi, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum entered the Great Marsh and received some Safari Balls to be used during the Safari Game, intending to catch a Grass-type Pokémon for Platinum to use against Crasher Wake. However, in the end, they failed to catch a single new Pokémon.
In Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down, Silver received some Safari Balls while entering the Johto Safari Zone. He tried to use one on an Arbok, but Eusine stopped him, due to him having violated the Safari Zone's no-battling rule by attacking the Arbok with his Weavile.
In the Pokémon Zensho manga
In Fuchsia City, Satoshi received some Safari Balls while entering the Safari Zone.
