Taking a look at the weather wiki, there are a few cases where it is suggested to stay at home, and not to go to the beach at all. Namely, thunderstorm and strong earthquakes.

We already have a feature for thunderstorms. You can't go to the beach unless you have a fisherman hat. And when you do you you can fish for Eternal rocks.

However, players can still visit Emera Beach when there are strong earthquakes, in spite of its description in the wiki/weather news.

So my suggestion is to add a new pokemon, The Ting-Lu.

Quote from Major Changes- Players without a Fisherman Hat(or a new cheaper item) can no longer fish at the Emera Beach during thunderstorms, strong earthquakes, and the othwr weathers mentioned below.

- Players have a chance to fish a Hollow Rock (a new item) when fishing during a Strong Earthquake.

- The hollow rock is used in the ancient cave to summon the Ting-Lu

- Hollow Rock description --> Darker than a dusk stone, it seems to be emanating a pitch-black aura

That's it :)

Quote from suggestions from other players (razpberry)

Though, tinglu is part of a legendary quartet. If tinglu is obtained by fishing, the other members of the quarter must also be obtained thru fishing.

My response :)
The tinglu quartet consists of Wo-Chien, Ting-Lu, Chien-Pao and Chi-Yu
Wo-chien was available during the tadbulb event, and is a dark/grass type pkmn.

Chien-pao has yet to be added, and is a dark/ice type pkmn

Chi-yu has yet to be added, and is a dark/fire pkmn.

They could each be found in the following weathers:

Hail - There's a strong rainy storm coming from the seaside, and due to the cold temperature you can also expect hailstones falling from the sky until the sky clears.

Meteorites - SPECIAL WARNING: A dangerous meteor swarm is expected today and experts say that they will land near the town. Don't be scared when a loud bang wakes you up. It's probably just a meteor.

Foggy - It's currently foggy in Emera Town. If possible, do not drive with your car until the fog sets and do not leave town alone.

Hail could be for Chien-pao

Meteorites could be for Wo-chien

Foggy could be for Chi-yu. Chi-yu can attack you while you are fishing, since it is hard to see. Players should 'not leave town alone', players can bring along a Pokémon, auto level 100 to fight chi-yu. After chi-yu is defeated (similar to pkmn like palkia) it leaves behind its summon item. Your Pokémon also has an increased chance of missing and a decreased chance of landing crits. (Due to low visibility)

Dude, what? That thing’s worth millions of PD. Are you trying to make fishing exclusive to older players or people who just bought nuggets with real money?

Sorry about that! That was poor phrasing.
I meant that players without the hat cannot fish during thunderstorms and strong earthquakes (or other weathers) if the suggest part 2 is implemented.

While I think adding more weather based events would be a fun idea, I don’t really see the connection between fishing and the treasures of ruin. The only one that’s an actual aquatic animal is Chi-Yu, but it still doesn’t really match to have a fire type Pokemon be obtained from fishing. Not even mentioning the fact that most of the playerbase would not be able to fish like 1/3 of a time.

Thunderstorms are also commonly associated with strong sea currents, so the beach being closed makes a lot of sense when it comes to PH fishing. Earthquakes are also dangerous, but I’ve never heard of any ship drowning because of them.

I think it’d make more sense to just make the quartet summonable through tall grass like Keldeo or Cosmog, since they Wo-Chien was originally released through a tall grass event. Maybe a Paldea rumble map where we could get their summon items along with Paldean Pokemon?

Fishing on the site is made pretty well in my opinion and for now doesn’t require anything added to it. As much as I hate the energy bar, I don’t think any changes to fishing would be necessary.

No support.

Eternatus isn't an aquatic animal either, so I personally don't find a problem with this.

Strong earthquakes can cause trees to fall, according the the ph weather news.

Quote from tsunami.orgTsunamis are caused by violent seafloor movement associated with earthquakes, landslides, lava entering the sea, seamount collapse, or meteorite impact. The most common cause is earthquakes. See the percentages on the right for the geological events that cause tsunamis.

As shown above, earthquakes can cause tsunamis. Meteorites too for that matter.

Chi-yu is a fire type Pokémon, yes. But underwater volcanoes do exist. In fact, afaik, the hottest lava in the world was produced by a underwater volcano.

For tall grass, I also don't think that a fish would lay eggs in a patch of grass. It would make sense for the other 3 tho.

The fact that most of the player base won't be able to fish does make sense though. I will add that
