In ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', Ash and his friends met a fisherman named [[Rodman]], who was trying to fish up a {{Shiny}} {{p|Magikarp}} with a Magikarp-shaped lure. Ash, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Clemont}} decided to try fishing too, with Ash giving the inexperienced Serena instructions of how to do it correctly. While fishing, Serena hooked up a {{p|Corsola}}, which she tried to battle with her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, but it simply hid itself behind Serena when Corsola tried to use {{m|Water Gun}} on it, causing the Coral Pokémon to get away. Afterwards, Rodman let Ash and his friends keep the fishing rods he had loaned them. The same rods reappeared in ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]'', where Ash used one of them to hook up a {{p|Skrelp}}.
