Where is the Super Rod in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl?

Throughout the main series Pokemon games, players who traverse through the story mode of the games are sure to encounter these red hat-wearing fishermen across the region—sometimes in their minimalist, quaint houses, and sometimes in the passionate throes of catching their favorite water type Pokemon in the sea.

While some of them may want to battle you, the others are simply kind NPCs that offer you the choice of acquiring a Fishing Rod! In a typical main series Pokemon game, you can acquire 3 different Fishing Rods throughout the story mode: the Old Rod, the Good Rod, and the Super Rod.

Needless to say, the Super Rod is the most valuable of the 3, as it will let you capture the rarest Pokemon found in bodies of water, whereas the Old Rod is mostly going to give you Magikarp, and the Good Rod will give you mediocre encounters.
