Changes: Fishing

Revision as of 09:37, 12 April 2018

Fishing is a Trainer Skill which all players can learn, and allows access to unique Pokémon.

How to Fish

All you need to start fishing is a rod (see below for details on obtaining one). Face a body of water and press the "F"-button on your keyboard.

A bar shows up. What to do?

There will be a "Hook Icon" that's going to move left and right. You will need to press the Space Bar to stop the hook. If the hook lands in the yellow box, you'll hook a Pokémon (see: image #1). If the hook lands on the tiny green box, you'll perfectly hook the Pokémon which will give you more Fishing XP (see: image #2).

What's Fishing EXP?

Fishing EXP is experience to level up your fishing level to unlock higher level Fishing Rods, and unlocks fishing in new areas.

Unlocks

While fishing, you will gain experience for each Pokémon you hook. As you level up, you will unlock new areas and access to new rods. You can view your current fishing level/experience in the Trainer Card (2nd page).

The Fishing Rods:

There are 5 fishing rods available

Old rod is located in the building to the left of vermillion pc, costing 5k. Good rod is located in Fuchsia, costing 12k, you need fishing level 5 to use this. Super rod is located on route 12, costing 35k, you need fishing level 20 to use this. Steel rod is made by crafting steel wire + metal coat + super rod, you need fishing level 50 to use this. Master rod is made by crafting steel rod + Master ball, you need fishing level 100 to use this.

Each rod gives a +5% encounter speed boost. As your fishing level goes up, so does the encounter speed also.

Hooking Rates

Fishing speed is a number that is influenced by your fishing level. You have a chance to hook a Pokémon every 'fishing speed' seconds. The chance to hook a Pokémon depends on the type of rod you're using and if you have an ability which affects hooking chance, like Suction Cups.

Hooking rates: Old Rod 50% Good Rod 60% Super Rod 70% Steel Rod 80% Master Rod 100% Suction Cups/Sticky Hold 1.2x
