Is Feebas Good in FireRed & LeafGreen Playthrough?

Finding Feebas is hard enough in Hoenn. Getting one into FRLG requires trading it over. AbilitySwift Swim for rain Speed. Milotic through Max Beauty evolution is the goal. The effort is enormous. The result is worth it.

Feebas cannot be caught in this game. It must be traded in from a compatible game where it appears in the wild. On GBA, cross-region trading unlocks post-game after Celio's Sevii Islands Ruby & Sapphire quest. The Switch re-release supports only one-way transfers out to Pokemon HOME.

Feebas Weakness

Electric and Grass moves hit Feebas for super-effective damage. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Feebas's special bulk (base 55 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
