New Fishing (2025 November update)

General

Fishing is one of 3 main ways of encountering pokemon in the wild in Pokemon Blaze Online (others being land & surfing).


When (Old Rod)?

You can fish once you have completed the Fishing Guide's 'quest' in Jubilife part of your very first Journey in Sinnoh.
He asks you to answer a couple questions from a couple clowns (literally) who in turn give you Fishing Vouchers. 3 of those can be exchanged for the Old Rod at the Fishing NPC.​

Equipping that old rod is done in the UI (top right if you didn't move it).

Equipping a rod can also be achieved by opening the bag & choosing 'Use' when clicking the Fishing Rod. This only works if you have the appropriate level to be able to equip this Fishing Rod.


How?

Fishing can be done in one of 3 ways when next to or on a body of water which has Fishing spawns.
  • Keyboard: Press 'F' => Press F again when

  • Autofishing: Only available on higher tier Fishing Rods. Explained later.
 
Levels

In PBO, as many MMO's, fishing has a levelling system.
This system improves the players' "skill" and unlocks several fishing related items, mechanics & decorations.

Gaining Experience

Gaining experience is easy: fish!

The base experience gain for fishing is as follows:
  • Running from a hooked pokemon: 20 exp
  • Fainting a hooked pokemon: 40 exp
  • Catching a hooked pokemon: 80 exp
This base experience gain is multiplied by a number based on rarity.
  • Rare: 20%
  • Very Rare: 40%
  • Ultra Rare: 60%
  • Legendary: 100%
And during the Fishing Competition, the experience gain is doubled.

Example: Catching an Ultra Rare pokemon during Fishing competition will give you 256 fishing experience. [80 * 1.6 * 2 = 256]

If you still aren't satisfied with the speed, you needn't worry! We have a Fishing Experience Priest who, when all players combined donated 100K F (in-game cash), doubles the experience gain towards fishing levels for a full hour!

Unlocks

There's a lot of things you unlock with the fishing levels. Ranging from Rarity, over sidequests, to Legendary pokemons & Repeatable Champion.

I'm going to try to give a good visual representation with below table (per level):

Fishing Rods

Our quality of fishing rods does not stop at Super Rod like most Pokemon games. We decided to join other MMO's and added Mythic & Aether Rods.

Bait

Consumable item boosting rarity.

What?
  • Increases odds on higher rarity Pokémon spawning
  • Limited uses - Each bait has a certain number of uses before depleting
  • Check remaining uses in the Fishing Skill Dialog
  • Inactive (and not consumed) while using incompatible Fishing Rods. Reactivates when switching back to a compatible Fishing Rod.
  • Cannot change bait mid-use. Current bait needs to be fully depleted.

Unlock
  • Unlocks at Fishing Level 65
  • Only works with Super Rod, Mythic Rod, or Aether Rod
  • Old Rod and Good Rod CANNOT use bait

How?

Applying bait is done through the UI:
  1. Open Fishing Skill Dialog
  2. Ensure you have a compatible rod equipped (Super Rod or higher)
  3. Click "Manage Bait" button
  4. Select bait

Modules

What?

Fishing modules are powerful consumable enhancements you can apply to your fishing rod.
Once applied, they provide benefits for a limited number of uses before expiring.

3 kinds of Modules exist so far.

IconEffectEncounters

Stormwire Module

Like bait, Modules cannot be removed from your Fishing Rod untill it's fully depleted.

Unlock

Every Fishing Rod can hold atleast 1 Module. For this matter, it's unlocked from the very start (level 0).

They are bought in the donator shop
0c6c47464d0dc1b5e67068bdde2c78f3.png
, 300 Gems each.

How?

Applying the module(s) can be done in 2 ways:

METHOD 1: Via Fishing Skill Dialog
  1. Open Fishing Skill Dialog
  2. In the Modules section, click the "+" button
  3. Select a module from the dropdown
  4. Click "Apply" to permanently equip it

METHOD 2: Via Bag (Quick Apply)
  1. Open your Bag (Miscellaneous part)
  2. Click "Use" on the module
  3. Module is applied (if you & your fishing rod meet the requirements)


When a module runs out of uses:
  • You'll receive a notification
  • The module is removed from your rod
  • The module slot becomes available for a new module
 
Auto-cast Mode

What?


Auto-cast or Autofishing automatically handles the fishing reaction test for you, letting you fish with just 1 click.

It is unlocked once you have a compatible Fishing Rod.
Only the Old Rod is not supporting this mode. You need the Good Rod or better (Fishing Level 30+).


How?

  1. Open Fishing Skill Dialog
  2. Equip a compatible rod (Good Rod or higher)
  3. Check the "Auto-Cast Mode" checkbox at the bottom
  4. Start fishing - the reaction test will be handled automatically!
Below gif shows all steps:
cedd9fd432d32fb189fece5d50ddcdd3.gif


Balancing

To avoid auto-cast mode being the best, meta way to fish. Balancing is required. It makes sense that manual, more intensive fishing should yield better results overtime.

Therefore the wait time is 3x longer. The time between "Trying to fish" and the triple exclamation mark, is 3 times longer while using the Auto-Cast Mode.
So theoretically, in the time auto-cast mode gets 10 encounters, manual fishing gets 30 encounters. Trading efficiency for necessary attention.

A perfect mode while looking at a second screen ;) .
 
Treasure Chest

What?

Sometimes when fishing, you'll hook a treasure chest instead of a Pokémon!
This triggers a timing-based minigame where you must stop a moving indicator on the target area to unlock the chest.

How?

Timing is key!
  1. Watch the bar - A white indicator moves across the screen
  2. Target zone - A green zone marks the success area
  3. Click/Tap to stop - Stop the indicator inside the green zone to win!

Difficulty Scaling

Your rod and fishing level both affect the difficulty of the minigame.
  • Bar Speed = The time it requires for the white indicator to travel the entire length of the minigame.
  • Target Zone = The green area marking the success zone. Indicated in % of the entire length.

Fishing Rod

Fishing RodBar SpeedTarget Zone
Old Rod3.5 sec (very fast)4% (tiny)
Good Rod5.0 sec (fast)7% (small)
Super Rod6.5 sec (medium)9% (medium)
Mythic Rod8.0 sec (slow)12% (large)
Aether Rod9.5 sec (very slow)15% (generous)

Fishing Level

Per 10 levels, both parts of the minigame are affected.
  • Reaction Time: +30ms per 10 levels (capped at +300ms)
  • Success Zone: +0.15% per 10 levels (capped at +1.5%)
Examples

Fishing level 75 with a Super Rod:
Bar Speed: 6.5 sec + 7*0.03 = 6.71 seconds​
Target Zone: 9% + 7*0.15% = 10.05%​

Fishing level 135 with a Mythic Rod:
Bar Speed: 8.0 sec + 0.300 sec = 8.3 sec​
Target Zone: 12% + 1.5% = 13.5%​
=>The fishing level boost cannot exceed the capped boost at level 100.


Trigger Chance

There is approx. 0.04% chance to hook a treasure chest (approximately 1 in 2,500 encounters)

Future updates may add modifiers based on bait, rods, modules, or events


Rewards

Win the minigame to receive random treasure rewards from four tiers.
The amount of the rewards can be influenced by your used Fishing Rod.

Fishing Rods

Better rods can earn multiple rewards from a single chest:
  • Old/Good Rod: Always 1 reward
  • Super/Mythic Rod: 50% chance for a 2nd reward
  • Aether Rod: 50% chance for 2nd, 33% chance for 3rd reward!
