How to unlock Fishing in Pets Go

Want another way to get loot in Pets Go? Learning how to unlock Fishing in Pets Go could be the answer.

Added in a post-launch update, Fishing in Pets Go is a potentially more engaging way to farm coins, potions, and even secret items while you roll for new pets. If you don’t want to mash breakables all day, it’s a good alternative.

How to unlock fishing in Pets Go

To start fishing in Pets Go, you first need to unlock it. That means heading into the Upgrades menu just right of the Roll button.

Use the Upgrade menu to unlock the ability to fish in Pets Go.

From there, you don’t need to click into a sub-menu for a change. Head down toward the bottom-right corner from the Faster Auto Roll upgrade until you reach the More Often node. Unlock that, then grab the Better Items one immediately below.

With that unlocked, you’re just one step away from fishing. Grab that as your next node for 200,000 and it’s off to the beach with you.

Fishing in Pets Go is another upgrade sub-menu. Click in to unlock more perks like More Tokens, Sturdy Fishing Rod, and Catch Faster.

How do I fish in Pets Go?

With the Fishing upgrade unlocked, all you need to do to start fishing in Pets Go is head to the beach.

Sit on either side of the pier within the glowing circle and you’ll immediately start fishing. As you stand there, you’ll reel in rewards automatically. You can even do it while auto-rolling for pets.

Fishing in Pets Go typically rewards Fishing Tokens that look like chewed coins. These differ from the coins earned through breakables and pet rolls, with the counter appearing just below it once you’ve unlocked them.

Fishing Tokens are required to unlock further upgrades in the Fishing tree. Unlocking the ability to fish up Treasure Chests can dramatically increase the rate at which you find Fishing Tokens.

What are the best fishing upgrades in Pets Go?

We have to say that the Treasure Chest upgrades in the Pets Go fishing sub-menu are the best fishing upgrades right now.

Treasure Chests have a bunch of cool rewards inside. And while they’re rare, they can bring a little more excitement to the game while you spin for new pets.

At higher tiers, you can even find Secret Keys by fishing in Pets Go, which can unlock one of the best fishing rods in the game. The higher tier chest you find, the better the odds of it containing a Crystal Key half.
