Using Rods

[treecko_332]

I know this seams like a stupid question, but how exactly do you use a rod?

Every time I try, and I get a bite it says "Oh, it got away

Thanks for your help,

Treecko

Well, in Ruby and Sapphire, it's a little harder to use a rod than it was in the earlier games. Here's what you do. First, start fishing. Then, when the periods stop and it sais, "Oh, A Bite!", press A immediately. Then, the periods will start again. Repeat this until it says "A Pokemon's on the hook".

I thought only mages could use rods?

Sorry, Joshman, but what is a Mage?

Joshman's referring to a different RPG entirely.

Oh, ok. Now, treeko, since you will have access to some new water Pokemon, I would definately recommend Shrapedo over Carvahna. Also, get a Gyrados if you can, and teach it a variety of moves. My personal favorite is Fire Blast, Thunderbolt, Waterfall, and Hyper Beam.
