The Voidfish represents the absolute pinnacle of rarity in Openwater Games’ fishing tycoon experience. Unlike standard catches that follow a predictable rarity curve, the Voidfish belongs to the Secret tier, a classification shared only by one other known species, the Prism Fish. This guide breaks down everything the community has verified, suspected, and failed to prove about this elusive catch. We will cover why the Voidfish matters, where it likely resides, what equipment you need, and how to maximize your odds without wasting Robux.
Understanding the Voidfish Rarity Tier
Pull a Lucky Fish organizes its aquatic inhabitants into a strict hierarchy that governs both their spawn rate and their passive income generation once banked on your island. The Secret tier sits above Mythic, making it theoretically the rarest classification in the entire game. Based on community catch logs and data aggregation from the official Openwater Games Discord server, the Secret tier carries an estimated base catch rate of <0.1%, though Openwater Games has not published official drop tables.
The Voidfish shares its Secret designation with the Prism Fish, but players widely consider the Voidfish the more elusive of the two. This reputation stems from the sheer volume of Prism Fish sightings compared to Voidfish catches. A review of gameplay clips on YouTube reveals approximately three to four times more documented Prism Fish encounters than Voidfish encounters. This discrepancy suggests either a lower base probability for the Voidfish or a location-locked spawn condition that casual players rarely satisfy.
The Voidfish’s visual design reinforces its rarity. Its body appears as a shifting silhouette that cycles through deep purple and absolute black, punctuated by white specks resembling distant stars. This cosmetic effect distinguishes it instantly from the Alien Fish (Mythic tier) and the Colorless Fish (Epic tier), both of which share a monochromatic palette but lack the animated cosmic texture. The Voidfish’s particle effects also dim the surrounding water, creating a localized darkness effect during the catch minigame.
From an economic perspective, banking a Voidfish transforms your island’s income. Passive cash generation scales directly with fish rarity, and Secret-tier fish produce the highest yield per second of any classification. Players who successfully bank a Voidfish report island income rates that dwarf even Mythic-tier contributions, though exact figures vary based on your current island level and cash multiplier gamepasses.
How to Target the Secret Rarity Pool
Catching the Voidfish requires you to manipulate two overlapping systems: the fish rarity roll and the fish species roll. When your line hits the water, the game first determines which rarity tier you have accessed, then selects a specific fish from within that tier. The first roll depends on your equipped rod’s luck modifier and any active luck gamepasses. The second roll appears completely random within the unlocked tier, meaning you cannot directly force a Voidfish over a Prism Fish once you hit the Secret table.
Your primary goal is to maximize the frequency of Secret rarity rolls. This means stacking every available luck source. The x2 Fish Luck gamepass (225 Robux) doubles your base luck modifier before rod multipliers apply. The Ice Rod, which community price checks place at approximately 50 million in-game cash, reportedly provides a 2.5x luck multiplier, though this figure remains unverified by Openwater Games. Combining the Ice Rod with the x2 Fish Luck gamepass theoretically grants a 5x total multiplier, though the game may cap multipliers at an unknown ceiling.
The Thunder Rod and Crow Rod also contribute luck bonuses, but the community lacks consensus on their exact multipliers. Some players argue the Thunder Rod offers a higher base luck stat than the Ice Rod, while others claim the Ice Rod’s specialized luck focus makes it superior for Secret-tier hunting. Until Openwater Games publishes official rod statistics or dataminers extract the values, treat all rod comparisons as speculative. The safest approach is to use whichever rod you have verified gives you the highest luck stat in your own testing.
Beyond equipment, you must consider the Far Water mechanic. The Far Water zone becomes accessible only after investing sufficient training into your casting distance stat. This zone holds the rarest fish in the game, and community consensus strongly suggests that Secret-tier fish cannot spawn in the near water regardless of your luck modifiers. The exact casting distance threshold for Far Water access is not publicly documented, but players report reaching it after approximately 15 to 20 upgrades to their casting distance training.
Far Water Access Requirements
| Requirement | Estimated Threshold | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Casting Distance Training | 15-20 upgrades | Unverified; based on player reports |
| Rod Tier | Ice Rod, Thunder Rod, or Crow Rod | Lower rods may lack sufficient base stats |
| Gamepasses (Optional) | x2 Fish Luck, x2 Mutation Luck | Stacking both recommended |
| Player Level | No direct requirement | Training cost scales with upgrades |
Once you reach the Far Water, your casting reticle must land within the deeper water zone. The game provides a visual distinction between near and far water, though the boundary can be subtle during nighttime cycles. Aim for the darkest blue water farthest from your island. If your cast lands in near water, you waste the Far Water bonus entirely, so practice your throw timing before consuming any temporary luck boosts.
The Shark Mechanic and Voidfish Survival
Every successful catch in Pull a Lucky Fish triggers the shark encounter. This predator chases your character across the ocean, and contact results in the loss of your caught fish. For common catches, losing a fish to the shark is an inconvenience. For a Voidfish, it represents potentially hours of wasted grinding. Your survival strategy must become second nature before you even attempt to farm Secret-tier fish.
The shark’s speed scales with your carried fish’s rarity. Anecdotal evidence from the community suggests that Mythic and Secret fish cause the shark to move approximately 20% faster than it does for Common or Uncommon catches. This scaling punishes unprepared players precisely when the stakes are highest. You must compensate with upgraded Pull Power and movement speed training.
The x2 Pull Power gamepass (99 Robux) doubles your rod’s reeling strength, which reduces the time you spend vulnerable during the catch minigame. Faster catches mean less exposure to the shark’s chase phase. The Faster Rolling gamepass (229 Robux) increases your character’s dodge roll speed, directly improving your ability to evade the shark during the escape sequence. Neither gamepass guarantees survival, but both provide measurable advantages.
Your island layout also impacts survival. Clear a straight path from your typical casting spot to your banking area. Obstacles, decorations, and poorly placed equipment can trap you during the shark chase, causing you to lose a Voidfish to environmental collision rather than the shark itself. Many players neglect island organization, only to lose rare catches when their character snags on a rock or tree.
Shark Escape Survival Tips
| Factor | Impact | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Pull Power Training | Reduces catch minigame duration | Max this before Secret hunting |
| Movement Speed Training | Increases base swim speed | Prioritize after Pull Power |
| x2 Pull Power Gamepass | Doubles reeling strength | Strongly recommended |
| Faster Rolling Gamepass | Improves dodge roll speed | Helpful but not essential |
| Island Layout | Affects pathing during chase | Clear obstacles near bank |
Mutations and the Voidfish
Mutations add another layer of complexity to the Voidfish hunt. Two mutations are known to exist: Bloody and Moon-linked, both unverified in their exact effects. Mutations alter a fish’s appearance and value, and the community has documented Voidfish catches with both mutation types, though such specimens are extraordinarily rare. A mutated Voidfish represents the absolute peak of rarity in Pull a Lucky Fish, combining the lowest spawn rate fish with the lowest probability mutation.
The Bloody mutation tints the fish red and reportedly increases its passive income generation. The Moon-linked mutation adds a lunar glow effect and may interact with the game’s day-night cycle, though this interaction lacks confirmation. The x2 Mutation Luck gamepass (360 Robux) doubles your mutation roll chance, stacking multiplicatively with your rod’s mutation stat if it has one.
When targeting a mutated Voidfish, you must succeed on three consecutive probability checks: the Secret rarity roll, the Voidfish species roll within the Secret tier, and the mutation roll. The compound probability is astronomically low. Most players should consider a mutated Voidfish a long-term stretch goal rather than a farmable target.
Economic Strategy for Voidfish Hunting
Farming for the Voidfish costs significant in-game cash. Ice Rod purchases, training upgrades, and consumable boosts drain your reserves quickly. You need a sustainable income strategy that funds your hunt without requiring you to catch the very fish you are hunting.
Your island’s banked fish provide passive income that scales with both the quantity and quality of your collection. Focus on banking every Mythic and Legendary fish you catch during your Voidfish attempts. Alien Fish (Mythic/A tier) and Dolphin (Legendary/A tier) generate substantial passive income that compounds over long farming sessions. Do not sell or discard these fish; bank them immediately to build a financial foundation.
The x2 Cash gamepass (360 Robux) doubles all cash earnings, including passive island income. If you plan to invest Robux, prioritize Fish Luck first, then Cash multiplier, then Mutation Luck. The Auto Fishing gamepass (49 Robux) provides passive income while you are offline, which helps fund training upgrades between active play sessions.
Rod Comparison Table
| Rod Name | Estimated Cost | Reported Luck Modifier | Verification Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ice Rod | ~50M Cash | ~2.5x Luck | Unverified |
| Thunder Rod | Unknown | Unknown | Unverified |
| Crow Rod | Unknown | Unknown | Unverified |
The Ice Rod’s ~50 million cash price tag makes it one of the most expensive purchases in the game. Before committing to this grind, ensure you have already maxed your essential training stats and purchased the x2 Fish Luck gamepass. The rod’s luck modifier only matters if you can reliably reach the Far Water and survive the shark encounter.
Community Evidence and Sightings
Documented Voidfish catches are rare but do exist. The Openwater Games Discord server contains several verified screenshots showing the Voidfish in players’ inventories. A YouTube gameplay video by a creator named "BloxFishing" (search "Pull a Lucky Fish Voidfish caught" on YouTube) shows a complete catch sequence, including the Far Water cast, the Voidfish’s unique visual effect during the minigame, and the successful bank despite an aggressive shark chase.
The Voidfish’s existence is not in question. The debate centers on its exact spawn conditions and whether any hidden requirements exist beyond Far Water access and maximum luck stacking. Some players theorize that the Voidfish only spawns during specific weather conditions or time windows, but no data supports these claims. Until Openwater Games confirms or denies hidden mechanics, treat all such theories as speculation.
No codes exist as of July 2026 that grant Voidfish spawns or Secret-tier luck boosts. Openwater Games has not released any promotional codes for Pull a Lucky Fish. Any website or video claiming to offer Voidfish codes is fraudulent. The only legitimate methods for obtaining this fish are the gameplay systems described in this guide.
FAQ
Can I catch the Voidfish without any gamepasses?
According to community reports, catching a Voidfish without gamepasses is theoretically possible but practically improbable. The base luck stat on rods like the Ice Rod provides a multiplier, but without the x2 Fish Luck gamepass, your Secret rarity roll frequency drops by half. Players have reported Secret-tier catches without gamepasses, but none have provided verified evidence of a gamepass-free Voidfish catch. If you are determined to remain free-to-play, focus entirely on saving for the Ice Rod and maximizing your casting distance training before attempting serious Voidfish hunts.
Does the Voidfish generate more island income than the Prism Fish?
Both fish belong to the Secret tier and should theoretically produce identical base income rates. However, community testing suggests that Voidfish income may slightly exceed Prism Fish income, potentially due to an unstated rarity sub-tier within the Secret classification. Without official numbers from Openwater Games, treat both fish as functionally equivalent for income purposes. The Voidfish’s higher prestige comes from its lower documented catch frequency, not necessarily its economic output.
What rod should I use if I cannot afford the Ice Rod yet?
If the Ice Rod’s ~50 million cash cost remains out of reach, focus on maxing your training stats first. A maxed Pull Power and casting distance with a mid-tier rod will serve you better than an Ice Rod with low training. The Thunder Rod and Crow Rod may offer intermediate luck bonuses, but their exact stats remain unverified. Consult the fish list for rod recommendations based on your current budget and training levels.
Can the Voidfish mutate, and are mutations worth targeting?
Yes, the Voidfish can spawn with the Bloody or Moon-linked mutations, though the probability is exceptionally low. Mutated Voidfish are collector’s items with no functional advantage beyond passive income, which is already so high at the Secret tier that the mutation bonus is negligible. Do not target mutations specifically; treat any mutated Voidfish as a bonus rather than a goal.
Does the Voidfish appear in near water at all?
Community consensus says no. Every verified Voidfish catch has occurred in Far Water. The game’s design clearly gates the rarest fish behind the casting distance mechanic. If you cannot reach Far Water, focus your efforts on training upgrades rather than hoping for a near-water Secret spawn that likely cannot occur.
