## Intro to Fishing in Pixelmon
**Fishing** functions similarly to Vanilla Minecraft in that you cast your rod, wait for the bobber to be pulled underwater, then reel in your catch.
However, unlike Vanilla gameplay, Pixelmon introduces exclusive Fishing Rods that allow you to obtain Pokemon and special items.

## How to start Fishing in Pixelmon
To start fishing in Pixelmon there are a few things you need to collect and craft. These are as follows:
### Poke Rods
The primary item required for fishing is a **Poke Rod.** These can be easily crafted or obtained in a variety of ways. Generally the better the rod you are using to fish, the better quality Pokemon and Items you will reel in.

> Crafting Recipe: 3x Sticks, 1x String, 1x Poke Ball\
> \
> Alternatively this can be found as naturally generated loot within boat like structures.
> **Good Rod**\

> Crafting Recipe: 3x Blaze Rods, 1x String, 1x Ultra Ball\

> **Super Rod**\

## What Can you fish for?
You'll be able to not only fish for Pokemon, but also Pixelmon items. There is a chance for you to obtain nothing from a reel even if you did all the steps correctly, so please keep that in mind.
### Fishing for Pokemon
You'll be able to find Pokemon through fishing within Pixelmon, with some of them being only obtainable via fishing.
### Fishing for Items
You can fish for unique items with Poke Rods too.
For a full list of everything that can be reeled in when fishing, regardless of biome or rod rarity, please refer to the official Pixelmon Mod Wiki.

### Jump Forms
JUMP! Textures are an alternative colour palette available for a variety of Pokemon that can be found through fishing. For a chance to reel in such a special Pokemon, you must have your **fishing rod appraised** by visiting an **Old Fisherman**.
Upon doing so, you will be able to encounter the JUMP! Textures for the following Pokemon.
* Magikarp
* Shellos
* Clobbopus
* Spheal
* Slugma
JUMP! Textures are retained through evolution, with the exception of Spheal, Slugma, and special Feebas or Magmar styled palettes for any Pokemon.
Examples of select JUMP! Textures
For a full list of available jump textures, please again refer to the [Mod Wiki](https://pixelmonmod.com/wiki/Jump#Slugma).
