Fishing is a way to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the water. In fact, some Pokémon can only be caught by using a fishing rod. There are three fishing rods that are given out throughout the course of most {{pkmn|games}}, and each one is given out by a [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Brother]]. [[Generation V]] includes only the [[Super Rod]], which is given out by [[Looker]]{{sup/5|BW}} or [[Cedric Juniper]]{{sup/5|B2W2}} during the post-game. In [[Generation VII]], the [[Alola]] games include only a [[Fishing Rod]], given out by [[Lana]]. The Fishing Rod may additionally reel in [[item]]s instead of Pokémon.

{{Item
From Generation {{gen|I}} to {{gen|VI}}, there are three different fishing rods: the [[Old Rod]], [[Good Rod]], and [[Super Rod]]. These fishing rods can be used in almost any body of water. Each fishing rod allows the player to encounter different Pokémon. The Good Rod normally allows encountering higher level Pokémon than the Old Rod, and the Super Rod normally allows encountering higher level Pokémon than the Good Rod.

From [[Generation VII]] onward, there is only one rod, the [[Fishing Rod]]. In these games, each location only has one set of fishing encounters, rather than three. Unlike the earlier rods, the Fishing Rod can only be used in designated fishing spots.
