Genshin Impact Pufferfish locations and fishing routes

Pufferfish in Genshin Impact can easily be identified by their round and short pelvic fins and plump bodies. Players can catch Pufferfish by fishing using Fake Fly Bait in certain spots. The caught Pufferfish can be found either as Wildlife or as a pet for Serenitea Pot.

Furthermore, gamers can exchange these Pufferfish for Ako's Sake Vessel from Inazuma Fishing Association along with Raimei Angelfish and Bitter Pufferfish. Ako's Sake Vessel is the weapon refinement material for The Catch in Genshin Impact.

Pufferfish is one of the hardest fish to get in Genshin Impact because of its limited fishing spots, unlike Medaka and Shirakodai. Players can only find Pufferfish in five locations in Teyvat.
