Feebas and Milotic were added to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Teal Mask DLC. Here, we’re going to look at where to find Feebas, how to evolve it, and how you can get Milotic.

In past games, Feebas was one of the trickiest Pokemon to catch, thanks to its rarity and limited spawn areas. While Feebas is a bit easier to catch in Scarlet & Violet, it can still be tricky to evolve.

Strap yourselves in if you want a Milotic. Let’s take a look at where to find Feebas and the two methods of how it evolves in the Kitakami region.

How to evolve Feebas into Milotic

To evolve Feebas into Milotic, you must trade it while it’s holding a Prism Scale. Check out our handy guide here to find Prism Scales in the Teal Mask DLC.

Trainers can find Prism Scales around Fellhorn Gorge as sparkling items.

Prism Scales are found as dropped items around Fellhorn Gorge, rarely as rewards for beating the Ogre Oustin’ minigame, and as a Pokedex reward for registering 140 Pokemon in the Kitakami Dex.

While trainers used to be able to raise Feebas’ Beauty stat to evolve it into Milotic, this method is not possible in Generation 9.

Finding Feebas in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet is still fairly tricky. According to its Gen 9 Pokedex, it lives in caves, which is the key to finding it on Kitakami.

Like past Generations, Feebas only spawn in one specific location on Kitakami. To find Feebas’ cave, travel to the Crystal Pool at the top of Oni Mountain.

Feebas only spawn inside a small cave accessible behind the Crystal Pool on Oni Mountain.

A small cave will be on the southeast side of the Crystal Pool. Trainers can see the location of this small cave in the image above.

Before venturing into the cave, trainers may want to eat a sandwich that boosts Water-type encounters, like the Veggie Sandwich. This will make finding Feebas much easier.

Go inside the cave and fall down the hole to the floor below. Next, travel further into the cave until you find a small pond. This pond is the only location where Feebas will spawn on Kitakami.
