2nd Gen Gone Fishin'!

[INFOWARRIOR56]

Has anyone ever done this? I recently discovered that you can use the fishing rod on the Rhydon statues in Gyms. The Pokemon that appear as a result of this are Goldeens and Krabbies. If you're looking for them, then this is the best way to go about catching them.

Is this a glitch or an easter egg?

It's a glitch, and you can use any rod on the statue. Old fishes up Magikarp (naturally), and Super fishes up Psyduck (if I recall correctly).
