Fishing is a recreation that is commonly enjoyed in the Pokémon world.

In the games

Fishing is one way to catch Pokémon in the water. In fact, some Pokémon can only be caught by using a fishing rod. There are three fishing rods that are given out throughout the course of each game, and each one is given out by a Fishing Guru.

Old Rod

An Old Rod is used to catch weak Water-type Pokémon, which usually means only low-level Magikarp. In the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, it is given out by a Fishing Guru who can be found in a house next to the Pokémon Center in Vermilion City. In the Generation II games, he can be found in the Pokémon Center on Route 32. In the Generation III games, he is near the Gym in Dewford Town.

Good Rod

A Good Rod is used to catch Water-type Pokémon. It is an upgrade of the Old Rod. In the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, it is given out by a Fishing Guru in a house in Fuschia City. In the Generation II games, he can be found in Olivine City. In the Generation III games, he is on Route 118.

Super Rod

A Super Rod is an item used to catch strong Water-type Pokémon. It is an upgrade of both the Old Rod and Good Rod, and can be used to catch high-level Pokémon like Poliwag. In the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, as well as in the Generation II games, the Super Rod's Guru can be found in a house on Silence Bridge. In the Generation III games, he is in a house by the Mossdeep Space Center.

In the anime

Numerous episodes of the anime have featured the group fishing.

At the Safari Zone, a fishing rod is distributed with the Safari Balls.

Rather than using bait, lures with Pokémon designs are used. The fisherman in Whiscash and Ash believed that the secret to catching the Whiscash he was looking for was finding the right lure. Misty has a collection of lures, including a special lure based on herself that she believes is the best. She sent it to Ash as a gift in The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing.
