Entity facts retain the guide’s Patch 1.0.10 snapshot (2026-08-28); the newly written notes are not a current-build playtest. Fixed values are raw bases, not guaranteed sale offers. Patch 1.1.3 adds bait display after a first kill in Fishipedia; use your current game to check a returning catch.

Stay in the ordinary Forest pool

The Triggerfish pairing is Beginner Lure on the Fishing Rod at Forest Island. There is no quest-specific bait or boss lure listed for this ordinary species.

If the remaining Forest gaps are Triggerfish, Perch and Salmon, all three belong to the same recorded lure tier. Review those entries together before switching to a boss encounter.

Identical base values do not combine records

Triggerfish and Perch each have a recorded base of 18 coins. They remain separate collection entries; a matching price is not evidence that the missing species was already caught.

Goldfish is listed at 24, but the guide has no probability data to support chasing it instead of accepting Triggerfish during a general collection run.
