The Old Rod is the most basic fishing rod in Pixelmon. It is crafted like a vanilla fishing rod, but with a Poké Ball at the end. It can also be obtained from Forage.
An Old Rod is able to catch common Water-type Pokémon. It is used in a similar way as a Minecraft fishing rod, although when a Pokémon is hooked, a "!" will appear in the chatbox rather than the bob being pulled down, similar to fishing in the Pokémon games.
Possible catches
Goldeen and Magikarp are possible catches regardless of the biome the player is fishing in. Other Pokémon are only possible catches in biomes that they normally spawn in.
Trivia
- The NPC editor and grotto spawner use the same sprite as the Old Rod.
