A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition! (Japanese: 釣りソムリエ・デント登場！ Fisher Sommelier - Dent Appears!) is the 37th episode of the Best Wishes series, and the 694th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on June 23, 2011, and first aired in the United States on October 15, 2011.
This episode was originally scheduled to air in Japan on April 7, 2011, as the 26th episode of the Best Wishes series, but it was postponed, along with the original BW023 and BW024, because of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
Synopsis
Template:Incomplete synopsis
The episode starts off with Ash, Cilan, and Iris continuing on their journey to Nimbasa City. They notice everyone crowding around a certain area--naturally, all of them get curious. Ash was just about to go in and see what was going on, when he is suddenly knocked over by Bianca, who apologizes, halting his attempts. When Ash asks her why she was in such a hurry, she tells him that she was going to enter a fishing competition. This convinces Ash, Iris, and Cilan to enter as well.
When they get there, Team Rocket (in disguise) is handing out the fishing rods and fishing Poké Balls. They say that the grand prize is a golden fishing rod, causing Cilan to get extremely excited.

Trivia
Errors
- Despite the edits listed above, a couple of indications that this was an earlier episode have been left in:
- In the original, the gang were surprised to see James owning a Yamask (to the point where Ash scanned it with his Pokédex), despite having encountered it several times in previously aired episodes.
- Ash was surprised when Cilan revealed his personal fishing rod, despite having seen it in Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!, five episodes before.
- The profile of the Scraggy appearing in Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster has a yellow colored scale on its head instead of red.
Dub edits
- When James's Yamask appeared, Ash did not sound as surprised about it as he did in the original. It was made to look like he was scanning it so Bianca, who was unfamiliar with the Pokémon, would know about it.
