Is there a great rod in Pokemon platinum?

Answer 1

Yes. But if you just want to fill up your pokedex then there is a trainer who has a goldeen. Go to veilstone city then go south to route 214

The second trainer with blue-ish hair you see fights with 3 goldeens. He's on the grass

Answer 2

There are 3. You get all 3 by talking to fishermen. You get the old rod by talking to one in the gatehouse to Canalave. The good rod will be the next one you get, by talking to fisherman on the way to Solaceon from Hearthome City. You get the Super rod by finishing the Sinnoh pokedex and talking to the fisherman by the gatehouse on the way to Survival Area. The super rod will be the best rod you get and can catch reasonably rare pokemon.

Answer 3

Yes there is a Old Rod ( bad catch rating). Great Rod(good catch rate, now called good rod), and Super Rod ( AWESOME AWESOME) l hope that helped!

There is a few changes in Pokemon D&P to platinum, but the rods are the same.

Answer 4

Exit to Hearthome City then after you beat the Pokemon breeder(or sneak behind him), you'll see a fisherman and he'll ask you a question and say yes, you get a good rod.

Answer 5

No, you will need to use the Good Rod to be able to reel in Barboach.

Answer 6

Yes, in Routes 102 and 117 as well as in Petalburg City, it is however much more likely to catch one with a Super Rod as well as them being at a higher level.

Answer 7

No, but you can catch it in Mt. Corenent (middle) 4F with a super rod.
