Old Rod
Location Route 7 – Gift from the fisherman in the house southeast of the Frost Mountain entrance.
Description An old and beat-up fishing rod. Use it by any body of water to wish for wild Pokémon.
Features The Old Rod is used to catch Water-type Pokémon from any body of water. The caught Pokémon are usually of the lowest possible quality.

The Old Rod, given to you by the fisherman on Route 7, is the worst rod in Pokémon Unbound.

However, it’s good enough to ensure you can catch at least some basic Water-type Pokémon from rivers and other bodies of water.
