Old Rod

The Old Rod is an item used in the Pokémon series of video games. In the games it is the first rod that you obtain, and with that said it is also the weakest, only being able to catch horribly weak Pokémon such as Magikarp, which many of the games them self even call "pathetic". However, Magikarp's evolved form Gyrados is a powerful dragon who is a favorite among many. After you obtain an old rod, you will later get a Good Rod and finaly a Super Rod, each one being better than the last. So far, the Old Rod has appeared in every single main Pokémon game.
