Old Rod

old-rod Sprite

Summary

Old Rod is an item in the Pokémon series, primarily used to fish for wild Pokémon. It is typically one of the earliest fishing rods a player can obtain in the game. The Old Rod is known for its simplicity and limited capacity to catch only basic or common Water-type Pokémon, such as Magikarp or Tentacool, depending on the game version and location.

Effects: - Fishing: When the player uses the Old Rod near a body of water, there is a chance to hook a Pokémon. The variety of Pokémon encountered with the Old Rod is significantly smaller compared to other fishing rods like the Good Rod or Super Rod. - Acquisition: The Old Rod is usually given to the player by a Fisherman or other NPC early in the game, often in a town or near a specific body of water.

Interesting Facts: 1. Consistency: Across multiple generations of Pokémon games, the Old Rod consistently catches low-level, common Pokémon.
