In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, fishing is simply a matter of standing next to water and using the rod. Sometimes, it will hook a Pokémon and start a {{pkmn|battle}}. Other times, it will catch nothing. There is a random chance of either happening, so if the rod catches nothing, players can cast it out again.

Starting with [[Generation III]], the fishing mechanic became more complicated, as the {{player}} would have to pay attention and confirm as soon as the rod hooked a Pokémon, or else it would get away. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, this required a series of confirmations to reel in better Pokémon. [[Generation III]] also introduced the ability for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to fish off the back of a {{m|surf}}ing Pokémon, which may be required to catch {{p|Feebas}}. This also made fishing on {{rt|4|Kanto}} possible. If the first Pokémon in the player's party has the ability {{a|Suction Cups}} or {{a|Sticky Hold}}, the player is more likely to get a bite.

In [[Generation VI]], fishing mechanics remain mostly unchanged, with the removal of rippling water and the addition of consecutive fishing, which can be done by fishing repeatedly without moving from the same spot and always hooking a Pokémon. Consecutive fishing will raise the probability of hooking a [[Shiny Pokémon]] in long, uninterrupted fishing streaks with any Rod. A Fisherman states that fishing near rocks and other objects that block movement raises the chances of hooking Pokémon. The Old and Good Rods return in this Generation.

In ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} used his fishing skills to catch a {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} that was preventing Ash and {{AP|Oshawott}} from retrieving plants at the bottom of a lake to cure their {{status|poison}}ed Pokémon. Like others before him, Cilan uses a fishing lure based on himself. In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', Cilan showed his fishing skills again by catching a {{p|Basculin}} in {{TRT}}'s fake fishing competition.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Cilan mentioned that [[Mr. Briney]] was going to host the Old Rod Fishing Rally in [[Dewford Town]], prompting him to depart for [[Hoenn]] in order to participate in the said competition.

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.

{{OBP|Red|Origins}} obtained an Old Rod from the Vermilion Fishing Guru in ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'', and a Super Rod from the Silence Bridge Fishing Guru in ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]''. Soon after obtaining it, he was seen using the latter to capture himself a {{p|Psyduck}}.
