How to distinguish rare spots
- When fishing, bubbles can be observed on water and these indicate the rare spot. Rare Spots are fixed and do not change locations.
- When fishing in the rare spot, the spawn rate is different. This makes certain low spawn rate Pokemon to appear more often.
- Similar to the dexnav from the past game, approaching a rare spot by dashing can cause the bubbles to disappear. It is recommended to move carefully when approaching the rare spot.
After you have successfully fished at the rare spot, the bubbles on the water will vanish. To make the bubbles reappear, you have to move one tile away and return.
About other Fishing Rod
- Unlike the older games, the Super Rod and the Good Rod do not exist in Pokemon Sun and Moon.
