The Good Rod is a key item introduced in Generation I.

Effect[]

The Good Rod allows the player to fish in bodies of water. To fish, the player should use the item while facing a body of water or while surfing. Since Ruby and Sapphire, it is incicated that a Pokémon has been hooked to it; when this happens, the player should quickly reel in the fishing line by pressing the A Button, or otherwise the Pokémon would go away.

Successfully finding a Pokémon would start a battle with it. Pokémon encountered this way are from the Good Rod pool, which are at a higher level than those encountered via the Old Rod but also at a lower level than those found via the Super Rod.
