Pokemon GO Valentine’s Day Event Guide (February 2026) Spawns, Shiny & Raids
Love is officially in the air and this , Pokemon GO is making sure every Trainer feels it. The Pokemon…
Look, I’ll be straight with you – I’ve dumped hundreds of thousands of Gold into Fish It skin crates, and I’ve learned exactly which ones are worth your hard-earned currency. If you’re tired of your boring fishing rod and want to flex on other players with some seriously cool skins, you’ve come to the right place.
After months of grinding and opening countless crates, I’m sharing everything you need to know about all skin crates in Fish It, how to get them, what they contain, and which ones give you the best bang for your buck (or Robux). Whether you’re a free-to-play player looking for the Silver Crate or ready to drop some Robux on the exclusive Pirate Crate, this guide has you covered.
Before we dive into the specifics, let me explain what skin crates actually are in Fish It. Think of them as loot boxes specifically designed for fishing rod cosmetics. Each crate contains 4-5 different skin designs, and when you open one, you spin a virtual wheel that randomly selects which skin you’ll receive.
Here’s the important part that many players miss: skins are purely cosmetic. They don’t boost your fishing stats, increase luck, or give you better catch rates. They’re all about style and showing off your collection to other players on the server. But trust me, landing that ultra-rare 2% drop skin feels absolutely incredible.
| Crate Name | Cost | Currency Type | Number of Skins | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver Crate | 150,000 | Gold | 4 | Common-Rare |
| Energy Crate | 400,000 | Gold | 5 | Common-Rare |
| Ocean Crate | 89 (or 445 for 5) | Robux | 5 | Rare-Legendary |
| Enchanted Crate | 99 (or 495 for 5) | Robux | 5 | Rare-Legendary |
| Luxury Crate | 99 (or 495 for 5) | Robux | 5 | Common-Legendary |
| Elderwood Crate | 99 (or 495 for 5) | Robux | 5 | Common-Legendary |
| Pirate Crate | 109 (or 545 for 5) | Robux | 5 | Common-Legendary |
Finding where to buy these crates is actually super simple once you know the three main locations. You don’t need to travel to different islands for different crates – all three spots sell the exact same inventory, so just head to whichever is closest to you.
The Traveling Merchant is probably your most convenient option when you’re out fishing in various areas. These NPCs randomly spawn around the map, so keep your eyes peeled when you’re moving between fishing spots. They have the exact same crate inventory as the other locations, making them perfect for impulse purchases when you’ve just earned enough Gold.
Billy Bob’s Shop is the permanent fixture for skin crate purchases. Located on Fisherman Island, this is your go-to spot if you prefer a consistent, reliable location. The shop is easy to find – just look for the building near the main dock area where most players spawn.
This is the newest addition to the game and my personal favorite spot. When you arrive at Pirate Cove island, head straight to the dock area. You’ll see a crate right there that you can interact with to open the shop menu. Since Pirate Cove is a popular grinding spot, this location is incredibly convenient for quickly grabbing crates between fishing sessions.
Pro Tip: All three locations sell identical crates at the same prices, so there’s no advantage to visiting one over the other except for convenience based on your current location.
Once you’ve purchased a crate, opening it is straightforward but there’s a specific process you need to follow:
The entire opening process takes about 5-10 seconds. The anticipation when that wheel is spinning and you’re hoping for that 2% legendary drop? That’s what keeps me coming back for more crates.
Here’s something crucial that the game doesn’t explain well: if you receive a duplicate skin (one you already own), you don’t just waste your money. Instead, the game automatically refunds you a portion of the crate’s cost in Gold:
This refund system softens the blow of bad RNG, but it’s still not great value compared to getting a new skin. That’s why I always recommend checking which skins you already have before buying more crates.
Let’s start with the free-to-play friendly options. These crates can be purchased with in-game Gold that you earn through fishing, completing quests, and selling your catches. No real money required!
The Silver Crate is your entry point into the world of rod skins. At 150,000 Gold, it’s the most affordable crate in the game, making it perfect for new players who want to customize their rods without breaking the bank.
What You Can Get:
| Skin Name | Drop Rate | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Polarized | 70% | Common |
| Earthly | 23% | Uncommon |
| Forsaken | 5% | Rare |
| Neptune’s Trident | 2% | Legendary |
My Analysis: The Silver Crate is honestly pretty underwhelming for anyone beyond the early game. With a 70% chance of getting the Polarized skin (which most players already have after a few purchases), you’re gambling heavily on that 2% Neptune’s Trident drop. That said, if you’re completely new and just want any customization option, this is where you start.
Best For: Complete beginners with less than 500,000 Gold total Skip If: You’ve already purchased 3-4 Silver Crates without getting rare drops
The Energy Crate costs significantly more at 400,000 Gold, but it offers five different skins instead of four, giving you slightly better odds for variety. The red-themed design of this crate stands out visually, and the skins inside match that energetic aesthetic.
What You Can Get:
| Skin Name | Drop Rate | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Pinata | 63% | Common |
| Purple Saber | 20% | Uncommon |
| Pirate Octopus | 10% | Rare |
| Soulreaver | 5% | Rare |
| Blazing Fire | 2% | Legendary |
My Analysis: This crate offers better value than the Silver Crate purely because of the distribution. While Pinata is still your most common drop at 63%, you have a combined 15% chance of getting a rare skin (Pirate Octopus or Soulreaver), which is triple the rare odds of Silver Crate. The Blazing Fire legendary is one of the coolest-looking skins in the game, making it worth chasing if you’ve got Gold to spare.
Best For: Mid-game players with 1-2 million Gold saved up Value Rating: 7/10 – Decent for Gold-only players but still heavy RNG
Now we’re getting into premium territory. These crates require Robux, which means you’ll need to spend real money. However, they offer significantly cooler skins and generally better drop rates for rare items. Each of these crates can be purchased individually or in bundles of 5 for a slight discount.
The Ocean Crate brings aquatic-themed skins with a nice balance of common and rare drops. At 89 Robux each, it’s one of the more affordable premium options.
What You Can Get:
| Skin Name | Drop Rate | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Polarized | 51% | Common |
| Monochrome | 24% | Uncommon |
| Forsaken | 15% | Rare |
| Neptune’s Trident | 8% | Legendary |
| Crystalized | 2% | Legendary |
My Analysis: The Ocean Crate is interesting because it shares some skins with the Silver Crate (Polarized, Forsaken, Neptune’s Trident) but with much better drop rates. You have a 23% combined chance of getting legendary skins here versus only 2% in Silver Crate. The exclusive Crystalized skin at 2% is absolutely gorgeous and worth the hunt.
Best For: Players who want better odds without spending too much Robux Should You Buy the Bundle? Yes, buying 5 for 445 Robux saves you 10 Robux per crate
The Enchanted Crate lives up to its name with mystical, magical-themed skins that seriously pop. At 99 Robux, it’s slightly more expensive than Ocean Crate but the skin quality justifies it.
What You Can Get:
| Skin Name | Drop Rate | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Aether Shard | 38% | Common |
| Amber | 33% | Uncommon |
| Flower Garden | 16% | Rare |
| Cursed | 10% | Rare |
| Jelly | 3% | Legendary |
My Analysis: This is one of my personal favorite crates. The drop rate distribution is much better than most others – you have a 26% chance of getting a rare skin and only 38% chance of the common Aether Shard. Every skin in this crate looks fantastic, even the common ones. The Jelly legendary at 3% (instead of the usual 2%) makes it slightly easier to score that ultra-rare pull.
Best For: Players who want consistent quality across all drops Value Rating: 9/10 – Excellent value for Robux spent
As the name suggests, the Luxury Crate focuses on flashy, attention-grabbing skins. These are the skins that make other players stop and ask “where did you get that?”
What You Can Get:
| Skin Name | Drop Rate | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Abyssfire | 63% | Common |
| Planetary | 20% | Uncommon |
| Disco | 10% | Rare |
| Timeless | 5% | Rare |
| Cursed Soul | 2% | Legendary |
My Analysis: The Luxury Crate has more extreme drop rates compared to Enchanted Crate. You’re much more likely to get Abyssfire (63% chance), but the rare skins in this crate are absolutely premium. The Disco skin lives up to its name with animated effects, and Cursed Soul is one of the most sought-after skins in the entire game. This is a high-risk, high-reward crate.
Best For: Players who don’t mind common drops and are hunting specific legendary skins Warning: That 63% Abyssfire rate can get frustrating after multiple purchases
The Elderwood Crate brings nature and creature-themed skins with a unique aesthetic that stands out from other crates. At 99 Robux, it matches the price of Enchanted and Luxury Crates.
What You Can Get:
| Skin Name | Drop Rate | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Turbo Shrimp | 40% | Common |
| Queen Kraken | 38% | Common |
| Overgrown Spores | 12% | Rare |
| Sarcophagus | 8% | Rare |
| Dragon Spirit | 2% | Legendary |
My Analysis: The Elderwood Crate has a fascinating drop distribution with two common skins at nearly equal rates (40% and 38%). This means you have a 78% chance of getting one of these two, but here’s the thing – both Queen Kraken and Turbo Shrimp actually look really cool. You have a combined 20% chance of rare skins, making it decent value. Dragon Spirit is probably the most popular legendary skin in the game.
Best For: Players who appreciate nature/creature themes Unique Aspect: Both common skins are actually desirable, reducing disappointment
The newest addition to Fish It, the Pirate Crate ties directly into the Pirate Cove event and features swashbuckling-themed skins. At 109 Robux, it’s the most expensive single crate purchase, but the skins justify the premium price.
What You Can Get:
| Skin Name | Drop Rate | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Pirate Loot | 44% | Common |
| Coconut Tree | 35% | Uncommon |
| Cursed Cutlass | 12% | Rare |
| Pirate Banjo | 6% | Rare |
| Kraken Anchor | 3% | Legendary |
My Analysis: The Pirate Crate is worth the extra 10 Robux. The theme is incredibly cohesive, and even the common Pirate Loot skin looks amazing. You have an 18% combined chance for rare skins, and the legendary Kraken Anchor at 3% (instead of 2%) gives you slightly better odds than most other crates. The Cursed Cutlass and Pirate Banjo are some of the coolest rare skins available.
Best For: Anyone who loves the pirate aesthetic or wants the newest skins Value Rating: 9/10 – Premium price but premium quality Limited Time? Unknown – may be tied to Pirate Cove event duration
After opening hundreds of crates myself, here’s my honest recommendation based on different player types:
Recommendation: Save up for the Energy Crate (400,000 Gold)
Skip the Silver Crate unless you’re desperate for any customization. The Energy Crate’s better drop distribution and extra skin option make it worth saving the additional Gold. Focus on grinding fish, selling catches, and completing quests to accumulate Gold quickly.
Alternative Strategy: Save all your Gold for late-game purchases like better rods and equipment. Skins don’t affect gameplay, so prioritizing performance over cosmetics makes sense early on.
Recommendation: Enchanted Crate (99 Robux) – Buy the 5-pack
The Enchanted Crate offers the best balance of price and quality. Every skin in this crate looks good, reducing buyer’s remorse on common drops. The 26% combined rare chance means you’ll likely get at least one rare skin per 5-pack purchase.
Alternative: Ocean Crate if you prefer aquatic themes over magical ones
Recommendation: Pirate Crate (109 Robux) – Buy multiple 5-packs
If you’re willing to spend Robux freely, the Pirate Crate offers the newest, most unique skins with the best thematic consistency. The slightly higher legendary drop rate (3% vs 2%) adds up over multiple purchases.
Whale Strategy: Buy one 5-pack of each Robux crate to collect all possible skins across themes
Recommendation: Buy everything systematically
Start with Gold crates (Silver and Energy) to fill out common skins, then work through Robux crates based on theme preference. Track which skins you have using a checklist to avoid wasting money on crates where you’ve already collected most items.
Pro Tip: The duplicate refund system means you’ll eventually profit slightly from repeated purchases of the same crate once you have all skins from it.
After spending probably too much time (and money) on skin crates, I’ve developed some strategies that help get the most value:
While there’s no evidence that opening crates at specific times affects drop rates, I’ve found psychological benefits to timing your purchases:
Set strict limits before you start opening crates:
Here’s something crucial that trips up many players: not all skins work on all rods. Each skin is designed for specific rod types. Before buying a crate, check which rods those skins are compatible with. There’s nothing worse than getting a legendary skin for a rod you don’t own and won’t use.
Example: If you primarily use early-game rods, focus on Silver and Energy Crates first since those skins typically work with starter equipment.
Before purchasing any crate, you can preview every skin it contains. Use this feature to:
Getting the skin is only half the battle – you need to know how to actually equip it to your fishing rod. Here’s the exact process:
Important Note: You can only equip skins on rods you currently own. If you get a skin for a rod you don’t have yet, it sits in your collection until you acquire that rod. This is why checking rod compatibility before buying crates is so important.
Once equipped, your rod skin is visible to everyone on the server in several ways:
The rarer your skin, the more attention you’ll get from other players. I’ve had people message me asking where I got specific legendary skins, which always feels great.
Before you spend any money or Gold on skin crates, there’s a critical warning you need to know about:
Some countries have strict laws regarding loot boxes and gambling mechanics in video games. If you live in one of these regions, you cannot purchase skin crates in Fish It, regardless of whether they cost Gold or Robux.
How to Know If You’re Restricted:
When you interact with a Skin Merchant NPC or try to access the crate shop, the game will give you a specific message: “My bro, it looks like this wasn’t made for you!”
This is the game’s way of telling you that skin crates are blocked in your region due to local gambling regulations.
While Fish It developers haven’t published an official list, loot boxes are commonly restricted in:
What You Can Do:
Unfortunately, there’s no legitimate workaround if you’re in a restricted region. The developers implemented these blocks to comply with local laws. Using VPNs or other methods to bypass these restrictions violates the game’s terms of service and could result in account bans.
Alternative for Restricted Players:
Focus on earning skins through other methods in Fish It:
For the math nerds out there (like me), let’s break down the actual probability of getting what you want from each crate. Understanding these numbers helps you make informed decisions about which crates offer the best value.
Here’s how many crates you’d need to open on average to get that legendary skin:
| Crate Type | Legendary Drop Rate | Average Opens Needed | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | 2% | 50 crates | 7,500,000 Gold |
| Energy | 2% | 50 crates | 20,000,000 Gold |
| Ocean | 2% (Crystalized) | 50 crates | 4,450 Robux |
| Enchanted | 3% (Jelly) | 33 crates | 3,267 Robux |
| Luxury | 2% (Cursed Soul) | 50 crates | 4,950 Robux |
| Elderwood | 2% (Dragon Spirit) | 50 crates | 4,950 Robux |
| Pirate | 3% (Kraken Anchor) | 33 crates | 3,597 Robux |
Important Note: These are statistical averages. You could get lucky and pull a legendary on your first try, or you could open 100 crates and never see one. That’s the nature of RNG.
Want every skin from a specific crate? Here’s the math:
With duplicate refunds factored in, completing a 5-skin crate typically requires 15-25 crate purchases, depending on luck. That translates to:
For collecting ALL skins across ALL crates? You’re looking at 10,000+ Robux and 30+ million Gold. I’m not saying don’t do it, but know what you’re getting into!
While skin crates are the primary method for obtaining rod cosmetics, there are a few alternative methods worth mentioning:
Fish It occasionally runs special events that reward exclusive skins. These don’t come from crates and are typically earned through:
Example: The Pirate Cove event likely includes exclusive quest reward skins alongside the Pirate Crate offerings.
Developers sometimes release limited-time codes that grant free skins. These are usually announced on:
Pro Tip: Join the official Discord and enable notifications for the announcements channel to catch codes before they expire.
Some skins may be available through progression systems like:
While not currently in the game, many players speculate about a potential trading system for skins. If implemented, this would allow players to:
Status: No official confirmation from developers yet
After watching countless players (including myself) make these mistakes, here are the biggest pitfalls to avoid:
The Problem: New players often buy skin crates with their first 150,000 Gold instead of investing in better fishing equipment.
The Solution: Wait until you have at least 1-2 million Gold saved and have upgraded your rod, boat, and bait before thinking about cosmetics.
The Problem: Buying crates for skins that work on rods you don’t own and won’t use anytime soon.
The Solution: Always preview the crate and verify you own the compatible rods before purchasing.
The Problem: Spending thousands of Robux or millions of Gold trying to get one specific 2% drop legendary skin.
The Solution: Set a maximum budget and accept that you might not get the specific skin you want. The duplicate refund helps, but RNG is ultimately unpredictable.
The Problem: Paying full price for single crate purchases instead of buying discounted bundles.
The Solution: Always buy the 5-pack bundles if you’re spending Robux. The savings add up quickly.
The Problem: Burning through your entire budget in one session and feeling disappointed by results.
The Solution: Space out your purchases over time. Open a few crates, go fishing, come back later. It makes the experience more enjoyable and sustainable.
No, skins are purely cosmetic. They don’t increase your fishing stats, luck rating, or catch rates in any way. A legendary skin looks amazing but performs identically to a common skin or no skin at all.
Currently, there is no trading system for skins in Fish It. Once you receive a skin from a crate, it’s permanently bound to your account.
If you receive a duplicate skin from a crate, the game automatically refunds you a portion of the crate’s cost in Gold: 25% for common, 33% for rare, and 50% for legendary duplicates.
There’s no evidence that drop rates are manipulated. The percentages shown in the crate preview appear to be accurate based on community tracking data. However, as with all random systems, your personal experience may vary from statistical expectations.
No, each skin is rod-specific. If you have a skin designed for Rod A, it only works on Rod A. You cannot apply it to Rod B, even if both rods are from the same tier or category.
As of February 2026, there haven’t been any sales or discounts on skin crates. The prices for Gold and Robux crates have remained consistent since their introduction.
While the Pirate Crate was introduced alongside the Pirate Cove event, developers haven’t confirmed whether it’s a limited-time offering. I recommend getting it sooner rather than later if you want those exclusive skins.
The game currently features dozens of unique rod skins across all seven crate types, with new skins being added during major updates. Each crate contains 4-5 unique skins.
Yes! In the Equipment menu, when you select a skin, you can see a preview of how it will look on your rod before confirming the change.
It depends on your priorities. For Robux efficiency, Enchanted Crate and Pirate Crate offer the best value. For Gold users, Energy Crate is superior to Silver Crate. Ultimately, choose crates based on which theme/aesthetic you prefer.
Fish It is constantly evolving with new content updates. Here’s how to stay informed about new skins and crates:
Fish It typically releases major content updates every 2-3 months, often including:
After everything I’ve shared, you’re probably wondering: should you actually spend your resources on skin crates?
Here’s my honest take: Skins are worth it if you’ve already invested in your core fishing equipment and have disposable resources. They don’t make you a better fisher, but they absolutely make the game more enjoyable and personally expressive.
For free-to-play players, I recommend getting one or two of your favorite skins from the Energy Crate, then focusing back on gameplay progression. Save the heavy cosmetic collecting for when you’re rich in Gold.
For Robux spenders, the Enchanted and Pirate Crates offer the best mix of quality and value. Buy a 5-pack, see what you get, and then decide if you want to chase more skins from that collection.
Most importantly, set a budget and stick to it. Skin crates use loot box mechanics, which can be addictive. It’s easy to say “just one more crate” and suddenly you’ve spent way more than intended. Enjoy the cosmetics, but don’t let them become an unhealthy expense.
The RNG gods can be cruel, but when you finally land that 2% legendary skin? That feeling makes it all worth it. Just remember: the best skin in Fish It is the one you think looks coolest on your rod, regardless of rarity.
Now get out there, open some crates, and show off those amazing rod skins to everyone on the server! And if you see someone with a legendary Dragon Spirit or Kraken Anchor skin, give them a congrats – they’ve earned it.
