[[File:FishingSpawnOverview.png|right|275px|thumb|Pokémon spawns that are iconized with the fishing rod can '''only''' be encountered via fishing; they are not [[Surf|surfable]].]]
'''Fishing''' is a mechanic in [[Pokémon Revolution Online]] that facilitates Pokémon-hunting in the water, both providing alternative avenue to [[Surf|surfing]] for them (for the Surf-encounterable Pokémon that are fishable, namely) and enabling the player to encounter Pokémon that are exclusively fishable.

A fishing rod can be cast into the water by selecting one from either the Key Items pocket of your backpack or the hotkey number toolbar while adjacent to water; if a fishable spawn is encountered that you have the requisite fishing-rod tier for or greater, it will whisk them out and initiate a battle with them. There are 4-second cooldown-time intervals between each fishing attempt.

==Spawn mechanics==
Fishing is one of the two avenues for the bimethodical hunting of water-oriented Pokémon; the other one is [[Surf|surfing]], which can both overlap and differ with fishing in regards to its encounterable spawns.

For every Pokémon on the map's localized spawn list that is superimposed with a rod icon, it is categorically required to fish them in order to encounter them; this means that they can not be encountered via surfing. Some surfable spawns may also be fishable; an informatory check on that can be done by checking the Pokémon's individual pages on the wiki; if one of the rods is shown in the area that it spawns in, it can also be fished with that rod's tier or greater.

If a Pokémon is surfable, that is generally the advisable method since they can be hunted for more seamlessly without the cooldown-time constraints of fishing.
==Rods==
===Mechanics===
With different rods, different Pokémon will be fishable contingent on the area. The requisite rod to encounter a Pokémon locationally varies for them, however; the rates can be discrepant depending on the area, with rarer Pokémon typically requiring higher-tier rods to be fishable early on.

If you use a greater rod tier than what is assignedly required to fish the Pokémon, the encounter will still be initiated; for example, if [[Horsea]] required the Old Rod—the lowermost-tier rod—and you used the Super Rod—the uppermost-tier rod—the battle would still initiate.

For more information pertaining to the pools of fishable Pokémon, read hereunder.
===Tiers===
Do note that the spawnsets are documented based on the lowest-fishable rod tier that there is for the Pokémon; for eaxmple, if [[Dratini]] were Super Rod-fishable in 99 areas and [[Old Rod]]-fishable in one area, it would still be considered classifiably Old Rod-fishable.

Remember that the required rod tier will locationally vary for each Pokémon, and some may be [[Membership|members]]-exclusive; read the Pokémon's individualized pages for more informatory data regardingly.
