Has anyone had any remote success with fishing? My Pokedex says I still need to fish up a lot of pokemon but it seems impossible to find anything but magikarps or the odd wailmer

[Dudeman]

It really depends on what you're fishing for. Those bubbly spots only increase the chance of getting a rare thing instead of guaranteeing it (which I find stupid). Dhelmise, for instance, only has a 1% spawn chance in Seafolk village in a non-bubble spot. With bubbles? 10%. Not fun.

Should I be using adrenaline orbs?

[Dudeman]

Also depends. SOS battles usually only spawn 'mons in the same evolutionary line, with a few exceptions (Mareanie with Corsola, Sableye with Carbink).

Pichu spawns happiny, I just assumed anyone could orb anyone

[FireArrow]

The chansey line can spawn from anyone I think

The chansey line can spawn from anyone I think

Not anyone, but they are in quite a few spots.

How did you guys figure this out?

Edit: ok found dhelmise after about 11 bubble attempts.  Looks like its not even worth fishing if there's no bubble

1. Happiny and Chansey spawn with certain baby Pokémon.
2. Fishing with no bubble isn't really worth it. Took me almost two hours to get Barboach.
3. In addition to changing the likelihood of finding Pokémon, the bubble will also let the Pokémon that appear by calling for help be different. For example, a Magikarp found at a bubble spot can call for help and get a Gyarados.

I read up on Serebii once I figured out what this "SOS" thing people kept referring to was. I'm amazed how quickly they've gotten their information.

[mikey]

I don't like the term SOS,  I hope someone comes up with $something better

I just gave up completely on fishing, I don't have any sort of patience for that sort of repetitiveness.

Also, unrelated, I think the Poke Pelago is a really great mechanic to add, mostly because I always felt super guilty about leaving my poor Pokemon in boxes for all eternity. That mindset probably came from Ranger and Mystery Dungeon, to be honest. Now they get to like run around and stuff, and I feel way better about just focusing on my main team. I do wish that it was able to be accessed earlier though, because I kept running out of Poke Beans.

oh god 9 boxes of dhelmise send help
