Old Fisherman

Info

The Old Fisherman is an NPC added in version 7.3.0 of Pixelmon. Old Fisherman appear most commonly near Rivers, but can also be found on along Beaches.

The Old Fisherman's main utility is it's ability to appraise Fishing Rods. By right clicking him with a rod, he appraises it out of the following eight rarities.

Appraisal level	Chance
Not Special	38.56%
So-So	19.29%
Good	12.94%
Great	9.65%
Rare	7.71%
Pro's	6.34%
Supreme	5.51%

After appraisal, these rods now have the chance to fish up JUMP! Special textures, when fishing up their respective Pokemon. Returning to the Old Fisherman with any JUMP! texture in your party allows you to collect a Fishing Log. Fishing Log's allow you to track your total catch progress on JUMP textures.

NOTE: Any evolutions of JUMP textured Pokemon do not retain these textures.

Lore

The idea behind these special textures originate from the Mobile Game MAGIKARP JUMP, in which your task is to go through various leagues with your Magikarp, getting stronger and stronger so your Magikarp can jump higher and higher!

Oa's Rod, also exists as an alternative to appraising rods.
