Fishing is a way to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} | Fishing is a way to use a fishing rod to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} [[wild Pokémon]] in the water. In fact, some Pokémon can only be caught by using a fishing rod. | ||

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. In the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] games, each one is given out by a [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Brother]]. 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. | |||
[[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. 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. In [[Generation VII]], the [[Alola]] games include only a [[Fishing Rod]], given out by [[Lana]]. | |||

Starting with [[Generation III]], the fishing mechanic became more | Starting with [[Generation III]], the fishing mechanic became more complex, as the {{player}} would have to pay attention and confirm as soon as the rod hooked a Pokémon, or else it would 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 required 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 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. Starting from Emerald, 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. | ||
