Poké Rod

The Poké Rod is a tool used to fish up various Pokémon from water via casting a bobber. There are 48 unique Poke Rods based on the Poké Ball used to craft the Poké Rod.

Obtaining

Crafting

Poké Rods are obtained via a Smithing Table using any Poké Ball, a Fishing Rod and a Poké Rod Upgrade Smithing Template. Crafting an existing Poké Rod with a different Pokéball will change the bobber to that ball.

Usage

The fishing mechanic works identically to the vanilla Fishing Rod, in which shortly after casting the bobber into a body of water, a stream of bubbles will approach the bobber and pull it downwards. Reeling in the bobber once this happens has a chance to spawn a fished-up Pokémon or reel in an item much like the vanilla fishing rod, but also has a chance to fish up nothing, instead displaying a "Not even a nibble..." message in the chat.

Pokémon: Magikarp Jump Forms

For more in-depth information, see the Unique Forms page

Using a Poké Rod, you may fish up unique patterns for Magikarp that are only found via fishing. These patterns can be found in any biome, but have a higher chance for certain patterns in certain biomes. All patterns are a flat 5% chance to fish up with any level of Lure, with Luck Of The Sea boosting that chance by 2.5% per level for a max chance of 12.5%.

Bait

Fishing bait can be attached to a rod’s hook by dragging the bait onto the rod and right-clicking, similar to bundles, or by holding the bait in the off-hand. Bait remains on the hook until a Pokémon is successfully reeled in, at which point it is consumed. It can be replaced by applying a different bait item, or removed entirely by right-clicking a rod that already has bait attached. Each bait type provides different effects.

For a complete list of baits and their effects, see the Bait Seasoning page.

Players can also use Poké Bait, a craftable bait item cooked in the Campfire Pot. Poké Bait can absorb up to three effects from Bait Seasoning, allowing multiple bait effects to be combined into a single item.

Enchantments

Poké Rods can also be enchanted. The Lure enchantment affects which Pokémon spawn pools can be accessed, with different Pokémon having a different minimum and maximum lure level. Luck of the Sea increases the chance of a higher tier rarity bucket being chosen when reeling in a Pokémon.

Treasure and Junk Item Fishing

Poké Rods can also be used to fish up random items, with treasure items requiring at least Luck of the Sea I.
