I have never caught a Feebas because of how long it takes to find the right spot and I end up cursing Feebas and forget about it. So has anybody caught a Feebas? If you have how long did it take and if you've tried to get it and failed do you think a Feebas is worth all that trouble?

I have in both Sapphire and Emerald. I don't remember exact duration, but Emerald didn't take too long. I fished at least 6 times in each tile until I found one. I found it about halfway down the route. I don't bother to change the trendy phrase in Dewford in order to reset the locations.

The one and only time I tried to find a Feebas was in my most recent Emerald game. I got really lucky and found one of the spots in the first 10 or so tiles I checked. ;) And...then I spent a long time trying to catch a Modest one. I filled up an entire freaking box and then some before I found one (I wanted to have a Milotic on my team).

Beginner's Luck for me... I found it in my first time I surfed the river near the Weather Station in Pokemon Sapphire...
And Ive only caught 3 ever since... Too hard to catch one. :(
Nostalgia. Last log-in was 2009. Lots have changed ever since.

I was able to find one in Sapphire in one of the first tiles I looked. The Feebas was right next to the Waterfall on the route, and luckily that is also where I started searching. I've never even bothered to try in any other game.

It was able to find it twice in Emerald and thrice in Diamond (the intervals of time varies.) And, somehow its worth the wait. Milotic is an extremely valuable Pokemon considering its 125 base Sp. Defense. (And, of course, its amazing ability to win beauty contests...)

Never bothered to catch it as it is very time consuming! I am too lazy to search a full river to find six ramdom tiles on which this freaky pokemon appears!

I have Feebas in Diamond and Emerald. It was tricky in Emerald, though once it appeared, more and more kept coming in that same area, so I decided to catch six of them. XD

I caught a Feebas in my Ruby game. It took me quite a while to find it because it was in the middle of Route 119. I started from one end of Route 119 with my super rod and fished 5 times per tile. I think in total it took me about 3-4 hours that I distributed over a few days. I just made sure that I never changed my trendy phrase and moved tile by tile from one end of the route to the other end. It got pretty boring and frustrating after a while. The good thing is that the tile does not change in R/S/E so that when you encounter one, you just have to remember the tile location and keep fishing at that tile as long as you do not change your trendy phrase. Once I caught my Feebas, I bred a lot of them, so now I have a mini Feebas farm on my Diamond game after I pal parked the Feebas and let it spend some time in the day care with Ditto.

Now it shouldn't be that hard to get a Feebas because there's GTS and forums that help set up Wi-fi trades. Searching for Feebas can be very frustrating. If you look at it as a fun challenge, it isn't that bad, but it can be pretty time-consuming if you aren't lucky. Wasting time and frustration over a measly Feebas isn't worth it. If you want a Feebas, the quick way is GTS and the Wi-fi trade section of this forum. It'll probably be quicker and less stressful.

I think back in RSE I glanced at the requirements for finding Feebas, immediately went "eff that" and decided not to bother with my Pokedex.

Wifi is a godsend--now I've got a modest Feebas just because someone on LJ had too many of them. :') No effort, great results.
