Speak to the gate attendants to receive 30 Safari Balls. To catch any wild Pokémon you find, toss Safari Balls at them. Often you'll have to throw bait or rocks to distract certain Pokémon, so try different combinations when a particular Pokémon keeps escaping -- that is the trick. When you run out of Safari Balls, or walk 600 paces, you'll warp back to the gate automatically.

You'll be able to get around a lot better if you can cross the ponds here, so the priority should be to get to the '''Secret House''' (containing HM03 {{bpm|Surf}}) in the northwest corner of Area 3. It's more complicated than it sounds, especially in under 600 steps. Head east to Area 1 from the Main Entrance, cross the two cliffs, and out to the Northwest to Area 2, then head all the way around to the exit in Area 2's Southwest corner.

It seems like you just got a new HM. Well, there's one more in Fuchsia City, and then you'll have the whole set. It's '''HM04''', which the Warden will hand you when you return the '''Golden Teeth''' that you found in Area 3. Use this on one of your larger Pokémon, and they'll learn {{bpm|Strength}}, a technique that lets you bat aside boulders like the one on the right side of the Warden's office, which is there for you to test out the new skill, giving a Rare Candy reward.

Chanseys are rare and pretty hard to get. The best strategy involves throwing bait twice and then three Safari Balls, returning to a bait afterwards. This strategy yields the best chance for success.

Despite its difficulty, here’s why it might be worth grabbing one. Chansey's hit points are the best possible and its one of only two Pokémon that can learn {{bpm|Softboiled}}, along with Clefable. This obscure skill that can heal Pokémon ''even out of battle'' as a field move can be obtained from a Move Tutor standing across a pool in the middle of [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Celadon City|Celadon City]]. Chansey also makes for an easy to use, incredibly effective Special "wall" battle type of Pokémon, while not too lacking at offense when evolved into {{bp|Blissey}}.

There are many Pokémon that never learn a single skill in their own type. With no attacks to get meaty bonuses on, types can be more of a weakness then an asset, unless you spend a couple of TMs on them.

And this is the problem with Rhyhorn. It's got lots of HP, a good Attack score, and a handful of good Normal attacks, but its types, Rock and Ground, make it weak against Ice, and Fighting, and extremely weak against Water and Grass.

Kangaskhan is a unique Pokémon. It learns a variety of moves of all different types and its defense and attack is outstanding (not as good as Tauros, but still great).

However, Kangaskhan is outclassed by Tauros with his offensive capabilities. Despite this, Kangaskhan's a great Pokémon, and its moves, {{bpm|Fake Out}} and {{bpm|Dizzy Punch}} make fighting a Kangaskhan an annoying prospect.

There are a lot of players who believe that Tauros is the strongest of the Normal-type Pokémon. It certainly has some of the best stats: Fast, tough, and with a good chunk of HP, Tauros' only problem is merely average offensive strength and lack of interesting attacks.

Its {{bpm|Stomp}} is pretty good, since it can cause flinching, but there's nothing worth much between that attack (at level 21) and {{bpm|Take Down}} (which works well with its high HP) at level 51. It can learn Strength though, and that’s a good match.

Speak to the gate attendants to receive 30 Safari Balls. To catch any wild Pokémon you find, toss Safari Balls at them. Often you'll have to throw bait or rocks to distract certain Pokémon, so try different combinations when a particular Pokémon keeps escaping -- that is the trick. When you run out of Safari Balls, or walk 600 paces, you'll warp back to the gate automatically.
The nice thing about the Safari is that you don't have to fight with Pokémon before you can catch them, but you can only catch them with the Safari Balls provided.
There are a few original options: throwing rocks at Pokémon to make them angry and easier to catch, but also more prone to running away, or tossing out some bait, which makes them stick around longer but be harder to catch (despite the idea that they are distracted while eating food).
To make matters worse, the rarer the Pokémon is, the harder it is to catch. You may see a Chansey only once for an average of every twenty wild encounters, but when you do, you'll probably fail to catch it. And since it runs at a hair trigger, it may take some ten or more tries until you can catch it, so be patient, really patient.
You can turn around (with light taps on the control buttons), still encountering Pokémon but not taking steps. If you have an Oddish/Bellsprout or Bulbasaur, make use of its Sweet Scent move to attract wild Pokémon without having to move.
Also, don't forget to fish! It's the way to get certain Pokémon, and you may very well it out here in the exotic Safari Zone. You need the Super Rod to catch the more interesting Pokémon, where a Dragonair is included.

Safari Zone - Area 3
For later dungeons, a Pokémon at hand with Strength will be needed, although it's not as important as Cut, Fly or Surf, at all.
In battle, Strength doubles as a basic attack, comparable in power and accuracy to Tri Attack and Drill Peck. Like all HM's, it can't be unlearned by normal means (see the Move Deleter), so give it to a Pokémon that needs a source of damage and doesn't get a lot of good skills, like your brand new Tauros.
