There are a total of 28 fish as of now. This is relatively a small lineup compared to the previous season, where we had 55, which was later reduced to 33 fish in total. However, since it has been confirmed that the season wil last for 108 days, more fish will likely be added in future. One thing to note is that the fishing feature doesn’t work in the Battle Lab anymore, so players can only fish in classic games.
