Starting with [[Generation III]], the fishing mechanic becomes more complex, as the {{player}} must pay attention and confirm as soon as the rod hooks a Pokémon, or else it will get away. A series of ellipses appear prior to the text "Oh! A bite!", which is when the player should press the A button exactly once. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, this requires a series of confirmations when using better rods, and the Pokémon will also get away if the player presses A or B at the wrong time.

[[Generation III]] also introduces a feature where [[Pokémon Trainer]]s can fish off the back of a {{m|surf}}ing Pokémon, which may be required to catch {{p|Feebas}}. This also makes fishing on {{rt|4|Kanto}} and {{rt|14|Kanto}} possible. In Emerald, if the first Pokémon in the player's party has the Ability {{a|Suction Cups}} or {{a|Sticky Hold}}, the player has a 92.5% chance for a bite. | ||
In Emerald, if the first Pokémon of a player's party has {{a|Hustle}}, {{a|Pressure}} or {{a|Vital Spirit}}, there is a 50% chance that the Pokémon the player fishes up will be the highest possible level. Since Pokémon that have been fished up are not generated until after the player has confirmed a bite, the abilities {{a|Intimidate}} and {{a|Keen Eye}} have no effect when fishing in Emerald. | In Emerald, if the first Pokémon of a player's party has {{a|Hustle}}, {{a|Pressure}} or {{a|Vital Spirit}}, there is a 50% chance that the Pokémon the player fishes up will be the highest possible level.

As with [[Generation III]], the Pokémon will go away if the player takes too long. Each of the three rods has a different base rate of getting a bite when it is used, which remain the same for all fishing locations; the Old, Good, and Super Rods have base rates of 25%, 50%, and 75% respectively. | ||

This was fixed in {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, where if the first Pokémon in the player's party has either of these Abilities, the base chances for each rod to get a bite are doubled, to a maximum of 100% for a guaranteed bite. | ||
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the exclamation point will occasionally appear above the [[walking Pokémon]] instead of above the {{player}}'s sprite. Also in HeartGold and SoulSilver, the odds of getting a bite are impacted by the [[friendship]] of the player's walking Pokémon, with a high friendship resulting in the chance of a bite being greatly increased. | In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the exclamation point will occasionally appear above the [[walking Pokémon]] instead of above the {{player}}'s sprite.

At 99 friendship or lower, the boost is 0%; upon reaching a friendship of 100, 150, 200, and 250, the boost is 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% respectively. This boost is applied before the bite chance is doubled by Suction Cups or Sticky Hold. | ||
