How to evolve Feebas into Milotic in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Teal Mask

Wondering how to evolve Feebas into Milotic?

Feebas and Milotic were introduced in generation 3, and were arguably the rarest Pokemon introduced in that generation, thanks to the incredibly annoying way of finding Feebas. The pair make their return in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The Teal Mask, and while it’s slightly easier to evolve them, you’re still going to need to do a bit of work.

There are two distinct ways that you can evolve Feebas into Mioltic, and we’ve detailed exactly how to evolve Feebas into Mioltic below.

How to evolve Feebas into Milotic: Feebas location

Feebas can be found at the bottom of a cave that starts near The Crystal Pool at the top of Oni Mountain. Once you’re there, head into the small cave entrance and drop down. You’ll fall down two large drops, the second into a pool of water. This pool of water contains Barboach mostly, and some Whiscash, but if you wait long enough, Feebas will also spawn.

How to evolve Feebas into Milotic

There are two ways to evolve Feebas into Milotic.

The first way is to trade Feebas while it is holding a Prism Scale. This can be found as a random ground item in The Teal Mask, and can also be earned as a reward during Ogre Oustin’.

Once you have your Feebas holding a Prism Scale, head to the trade menu.

Much like in recent Pokemon games, prominent content creator Austin John Plays has published a list of trade codes for players looking to trade Pokemon. In the case of Feebas, you simply have to enter the code 0349-0349 and other players that are looking to trade Feebas with you will find you.

The other way to evolve Feebas into Milotic is to transfer the Pokemon to Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl and raise Feebas’ Beauty stat up to the highest tier. This can be done with contests and is a huge pain, so we’d recommend going with the trade method.
