Catch Magikarp

The Fisherman wants you to catch a total of 30 Magikarp and place them within the same Box in the Pokémon Storage System.

How to Complete

Fishing in Dresco Town / Pokémon Unbound
Fishing in Dresco Town

Magikarp are caught by using the Old Rod in most bodies of water, though there are some areas where other fish can be caught with the Old Rod as well.

For maximum efficiency, using an Old Rod over and over again in a place like Dresco Town is the best way of catching 30 Magikarp in a row very quickly. Be sure to stock up on Poke balls first.

Filling the Box / Pokémon Unbound
Filling the Box

When you’ve caught 30 Magikarp, go to a PC or a Porygon to make sure they have ended up in the same Box. You can easily move them around if not.
