Feebas is known for being a shabby-looking fish that evolves into the beautiful Milotic. Unlike Magikarp, Feebas are incredibly rare and would only spawn on certain “tiles” back inPokemon Ruby/Sapphire/EmeraldandPokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. While it’s still rare inPokemon Scarlet/Violet, finding and catching Feebas isn’t nearly as challenging as it was back in Generation 3-4.
Prior to The Teal Mask, Feebas and Milotic were unobtainable inPokemon Scarlet & Violet. Trainers hoping to catch one for evolving it into Milotic or just to complete the Pokedex will find out that Feebas only spawns in one area in Kitakami. Those that want Milotic will need to evolve Feebas via one of two ways.

How to Get Feebas
Before Feebas can be caught in the wild, players are going to needKoraidon/Miraidon’s ability to swim. If Shiny Hunting Feebas, then it’s recommended to have a Pokemon that canfight on/in the waterthat has a type effectiveness over Water-type (ex: Wattrel is an Electric/Flying-type that can battle on water).
Feebas can be found swimming inOni Mountain. Players are going to want to fly toCrystal Pool, andcross the bridge to a slanted hill. At the back of this hill is a cavern entrance that leads inside Oni Mountain. Drop down into the first room, and there will be a Kitakami Ogre Clan trainer. Ignore them and take the path down to another drop.
This time, the player character and Korai/Miraidon will land in a body of water. Follow the stream to a room with a Whiscash. Defeat the Whiscash, as it’s a Fixed Spawn and will hinder too many Feebas from appearing.
Since Feebas is rare, it would do trainers some good to make a sandwich that has an Encounter Power: Water meal effect. Ingredients such asCucumbersandCurry Powderhave Water and Encounter effects.
Feebas will flee and dive underwaterif players get too close, so send out a Pokemon to battle withZR-button(not R-button). Players should not Auto-Battle Feebas unless they’re Shiny Hunting it.
Remember that because Feebas is quite rare, it’s likely players will see other Water-type (in this case, Barboach) before they find a single Feebas. Have a Pokemon Auto-Battle to clear out the Barboach.
Use a Quick Ball on the first turn, and if that fails, use Net Balls or Dive Balls. Net Balls have a higher chance of catching Bug or Water-type Pokemon, whereas Dive Balls have a higher catch rate if the Pokemon is on/in water.
Those that aren’t having any luck finding Feebas can try to find it in3-star Tera Raidsaround Kitakami.
How to Evolve Feebas (How to Get Milotic)
To evolve Feebas into Milotic, players need to have Feebas holding aPrism Scale, then trade it to initiate the evolution. Players will get a Prism Scale as one of the Kitakami Dex Rewards for catching140 Kitakami Pokemon. There’s also a Prism Scale at thefar east ofFellhorn Gorge.
Players will need an Online Membership in order to trade. Once they have this, they can access the online features via thePoke Portalandstart aLink Trade. Players can either trade with someone random using a Link Code, or they can set up their own Link Code and give it to a Friend. If trainers want the Milotic to have their Trainer ID, then they should trade with a friend instead.

How to Evolve Feebas without Trading
Another way to evolve Feebas into Milotic is by usingPokemon HOMEandPokemon Brilliant DiamondorShining Pearl. This is a lengthier process and requires theuse of another game, but it doesn’t require online membership. Here’s what to do:
The Beauty stat’s increase will beinfluenced by Feebas' Nature. If the Feebas loves “dry food,” then it’ll level quicker. If it dislikes it, then it’ll level slower. For example, a Modest-natured Feebas will grow quicker than an Adamant-natured Feebas.
