In-Depth Effect

This item is an item you can use to hook a variety of Pokémon. To use it, you need your character to be facing a bit of water, or in Ruby & Sapphire onwards, to be on the back of a Surfing Pokémon. In Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver & Crystal, all you needed to do was use the rod to obtain a Pokémon, but from Ruby & Sapphire, you need to pay attention and hit the A button to confirm that you have hooked a Pokémon in order to battle it. If you leave it too long, the Pokémon gets away. This item primarily hooks low-levelled Pokémon.
