- Piscivore (Vaporeon): drastically increases the speed of fishing
- Sticky Hold & Suction Cups: slows the movements of the fished Pokémon
- Illuminate: increases the odds of Treasure spawning
- Sturdy, Solid Rock, and Rock Head: reduce “bounce” of bobber, helpful when rapidly moving bobber after getting Treasure
- Certain Pokémon have abilities that make fishing easier!
- Farming Held Items: certain valuable items, such as Shards, Heart Scales, and Leftovers, are held by wild Pokémon. All Meowth forms and Murkrow learn Thief around level 20, making resource farming easier. A Quest in Sofos City gives the Glimmering Charm, increasing the odds of wild Pokémon holding items, which can make held item farming even easier!
- Mega Evolution: Mega Evolution is unlocked by completing Niko’s quest around Sofos City (Gym 4). Niko will then host a Mega Stone Shop in Acrisia University, with a growing selection as you progress. Make sure to check back with Niko regularly as you continue to beat Gyms!
