Feebas
 
Does anyone now if it takes a certain amount of time to catch because i have ruby for a long freaking long time and no luck. I think mines is cursed because thats the only pokemon that need to get all my pokemon.

Information on Feebas is already in the RS FAQ. Read it before asking next time.

1) To complete the pokedex
2) For some bragging rights
3) To obtain a milotic which is has great Special Attack and Special Defense, along with a great move pool.

What You Will Need

1) old/good/super rod [old is preferred as Feebas can be caught with it, but u don't have to waste time with other pokemon besides magicarp and a few tentacool. It can be obtained by a fisher in Dewford town. He stands near to the gym]
2) approximately 5 pokeballs [higher grades are not nessary for such a weak pokemon] as you will want to catch a few feebas.
3) a pokemon that knows surf [HM slave ^_^]
4) a pokemon that knows fly [not a must but after sitting in that water for so long i would think u would want to get out of there as quickly as possible]

Feebas is a rare little fish pokemon. How rare you ask??
Well let me see. It is obtainable in 6 tiles [sections of surfing water] out of approximately 400 tiles of surfing water on route 119.
Now thats something isn't it??
The feebas tiles are random and if you change the "Popular Phrase" in Dewford town the tile positions are RANDOMLY RESET[ie you can't take someone else's 'popular phrase' and try fishing where they got their feebas. It won't work.]

Now that you have what u need head up to the base of route 119. Do this by flying/walking to mauville and then surfing across the narrow stripe of water right of the gym.
Now you will be on route 119. This is a very long route [unfortunately] packed with sections of water [potential feebas grounds] along its length. I recommend you start form the first pond you come across. Start form one corner and work your way up. Fishing in each tile you move into.I recommend fishing 3 - 5 times in one tile as any less may allow our fishy friend to slip through and any more would be overkill.
Now all this sucks i must admit, but when u do find the feebas tile you will be pleasently surprised to find that they will appear with a 60-80% probability. Which is, in my opinion, fairly sweet.

The only hard part would be finding the six tiles it appears in. And based on the 60-80% appearance rate, you'll be able to figure out if it's in the tile you're fishing in or not pretty quickly. So if you don't find a feebas after a couple of tries in the same tile, move on to the next tile.

It doesnt take time only luck...

Kid Frost July 30th, 2005 9:21 PM

Ok thank You This can be closed now

Kid Frost August 2nd, 2005 9:12 PM

Is it nececery to do the phrase in deford.

Squeegee Beckenheim August 3rd, 2005 3:58 AM

Stop double posting! That could have easily been editted into the last. I really see no reason in changing the Dewford phrase.

SRV August 3rd, 2005 8:08 AM

If you only want to catch Feebas for the evolution, then here's a tip for evolving it. You must go to the Berry Master's house and talk to his wife. She'll ask you if you know a neat phrase or something like that. Choose the two words "CHALLENGE CONTEST", and she'll give you a Pamtre Berry. Go plant it and water it. It'll take 72 hours to grow, and you only get two each time it's fully grown. Be patient because you need 5 or 6 Pamtre Berries. Okay, after you have them all, Check the TVs in peoples houses if they're flashing. Once in awhile it'll say that the Pokéblock Master is coming to Lilycove in a mere 2 days. Wait the 2 days and then go to the Contest Hall in Lilycove City. You should save before you blend with the master incase you screw up and get any X's. The Master always gets the boost so try to get as many boosts as you can. Recommended Pokéblock level: 55-57. Use the Pamtre Berries only because they give you 3+ DRY, which is beauty. Make all the Pokéblocks, give them to the feebas til it's beauty is maxed out, then level up one level.
(I'd recommend that you hatch the feebas that you catch so you can have a level 6 Milotic in the end. Unless you're using an Old Rod)
It's alot of work but it's worth it. Goodluck

Kid Frost August 3rd, 2005 9:53 AM

Ok thank you. SRV. That was all.

SRV August 3rd, 2005 10:17 AM

N o p r o b l e m o.

Overlord IX August 5th, 2005 3:46 PM

Usually catching a feebas is all sheer luck. 6 out of the 400 tiles in the area will have feebas spawning in it. You can try indigo pokeblocks on feebas to evolve it.

SRV August 5th, 2005 4:02 PM

If they aren't high enough level pokeblocks, then the Feebas will get full and not eat anymore before it's beauty is maxed out. Try the Gold pokeblocks. Ingrediants: Pamtre berry, Berry Master's talent, and a little of your own. 5 or 6 'ought to do it.

deoxys2000 August 5th, 2005 4:10 PM

o, one more thing: don't use an ar because the code for milotic and feebas doesn't work! believe me, i did that, so im trying the non-cheating way :D

SRV August 5th, 2005 4:17 PM

Why would you cheat to get it anyway? If it was unobtainable I'd understand, but Feebas?

the skate board kid August 5th, 2005 6:02 PM

I have 5 Feebas. I run into them all the time. Are they supposed to be hard to catch?

~TSBK~

SRV August 5th, 2005 8:42 PM

Well, if you read the second post, then you'd probably have a better understanding about the rare little fish pokemon. It nests in only 6 tiles out of approxomitely 400 on Route 119. Fish five times in each tile, and everytime the trendy phrase changes in Dewford, Feebas' nest changes. But all this is no new information, just making it easier for the skateboard kid.

Overlord IX August 5th, 2005 9:23 PM

Try breeding the feebas that you caught.

the skate board kid August 5th, 2005 9:38 PM

Wow, I didn't know they were so rare. I just ran into them by luck I guess

~TSBK~

silverbullet2k4 August 6th, 2005 3:04 PM

What was your trendy phrase in Dewford? If it is the same as mine than the Feebas are probably breeding in the same spots.

SRV August 6th, 2005 4:56 PM

Well, my trendy phrase right now is "MYSTERY BIKE". I'm not sure if it was that when I caught my Feebas, but I fished south from the bridge, and on the little patch of land. There's only two spots and I stood on the right closest to the tree. So maybe if your phrase is the same as mine, you could try looking where I did. I'm not sure if what you said is true though, so don't get your hopes up.

Simon August 6th, 2005 5:36 PM

That might work, but it has a very low chance. Everytime you change the Dewford phrase, the six tiles where Feebas appears are randomized. The chance of two people changing the phrase to the same thing and having the tiles randomized to the same six tiles are VERY slim, but it's possible. Slim to the point of being pointless to try IMO.

Kid Frost August 6th, 2005 5:41 PM

OK thank you everyone of you. But i still havent caught it.

silverbullet2k4 August 6th, 2005 5:43 PM

If your unchanged Dewford phrase is the same as someone elses unchanged phrase than the locations are the same.

Simon August 6th, 2005 5:50 PM

There are roughly 350 tiles of water on Route 119. That's a less than 2% (6/350=1.71%) chance of finding those six tiles. And I hope you know you can fish while surfing on your Pokemon thing as well. If you're just fishing from bridges and land you'll have a harder time finding it.

silverbullet2k4 August 6th, 2005 5:53 PM

There are actually more than 400 tiles to look at. o.O

pokejungle August 6th, 2005 5:55 PM

Took me about two hours collectively to find it =3 Good luck ^_~

[Just keep fishing with the old rod... Twice on each spot works well.]
