Almost nobody uses Feebas in battle. It exists to evolve into Milotic, which is a completely different story. Get it there and you won't regret it. Known as the Fish Pokemon. Introduced in Gen 3.

Speed and Sp. Def carry most of Feebas's stat budget. Sp. Atk's the obvious dump stat. Easy to catch and yields 1 Speed EV. Follows a standard growth curve.

It is a shabby and ugly Pokémon. However, it is very hardy and can survive on little water.

Feebas Weakness

Good

Electric and Grass-type 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.

Without breeding, Feebas misses out on Confuse Ray and Dragon Breath. That's 9 egg moves adding depth that the base kit lacks. STAB comes from Surf and Waterfall, with Normal and Ice coverage and more rounding things out.

Feebas's scattered across 3 spots in early-game fishing spots with high spawn rates. Check the list below for the closest location to wherever you are in the game. This one's quick.

Best Locations

Catching Feebas here means fishing. All 3 encounters require Good Rod, Super Rod, and Old Rod at Lv. 10-20, and there aren't any overworld spawns in this game.

  • Feebas is meant to evolve into Milotic. At 200 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.

  • Watch for Raikou (Electric) and Breloom (Grass) when using Feebas. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • Feebas evolves into Milotic while holding a Prism Scale. Feebas is the base form of this evolutionary line.

  • Adaptability is what you want on Feebas. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Swift Swim, Oblivious) work on paper but Adaptability is what makes Feebas worth using.

  • Base 80 Speed is workable — faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Feebas is leaning toward the physical side (base 15 Attack). Defensively? Fragile — can't afford to take many hits.

  • Feebas appears in 16 games, including Ruby & Sapphire, FireRed & LeafGreen, and Emerald.

Obtainable through an item-based evolution, Feebas appears in 16 titles across 7 generations since Ruby & Sapphire. The evolution method adds a barrier that wild-catchable Pokemon don't have.
