Fishing

The Catch ’Em Cord wiki: how the game works, straight from the game’s own rules.

All wiki pages

Buy a rod at the Poké Mart and cast with /fish. Fishing is private: what bites is yours alone, and it uses the real rod tables from the games.

The rods

Rods are bought once in /shop and never break.

Good RodCommon, uncommon and rare₽5,000
Super RodCommon, uncommon and rare, from a wider pool. The only rod that hooks Feebas₽12,000

/fish uses your best rod. Pick another with rod:.

Cast, wait, reel

Cast and wait for a bite. When it bites, press Reel fast. Hook it and you face it the normal way: fight, then throw. Better rods get a few more casts a day, and casts reset at midnight UTC.

Fishing for a Pokémon

Want a certain fish? /fish target: lets you fish for any Pokémon on that rod’s table that you’ve caught before. The more of it you’ve hooked, the higher your Search Level and the more often it bites. From Search Level 5 it can bite with its Hidden Ability.

You can’t fish for Mega Evolution lines or Feebas.

Good to know

  • Magikarp bites on every rod. Level it to 20 for Gyarados, or fish one up with a Good or Super Rod.
  • Shinies and held items can both come from fishing.

Grab a rod and cast a line!
