Ahh, Feebas. Ever since its introduction in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, this Pokémon has been perhaps one of the most elusive Pokémon to find, but you need to get one in order to get Milotic. Now, Feebas isn't as hard to find, but it is still very difficult.

-
Proceed to the point in the game where you have passed the water type trial on Akala Island. You need Lapras and the fishing rod from Lana for this. -
Go to the far right of the wood bridge near the entrance to Brooklet Hill. From here, you should look directly south and get on Lapras. You should see a fishing spot.Advertisement -
Check out the fishing spot. If it is rippling, continue with the method. If it is not, leave Brooklet Hill and return. Keep in mind that going too fast near the fishing spot or traveling on top of the fishing spot will cause it not to ripple. -
Fish in this spot. When it is rippling, there is a 5% chance of finding a Feebas. When it is not rippling, there is a 1% chance. It is very easy to leave Brooklet Hill and come back from this spot. -
Repeat this process until Feebas is found. From here, you should weaken it with False Swipe or Hold Back, and then paralyze it or put it to sleep.- If it is night, you can use a dusk ball, but a dive ball will work well any time. Feebas has a relatively high catch rate, so it should be easy to catch.

QuestionHow long did it take you? I've been trying for 10 minutes and still haven't even seen it!Acebob11Community AnswerIt took me around 15 minutes. Normally, Feebas has a 1% encounter rate, but if the water is rippling, its rate is still only 5%.

QuestionCan I use Sharpedo?Acebob11Community AnswerYes, but as it goes faster it might scare away the ripple Pokemon, which could make you lose a Feebas.

Tips
- Consider progressing to captain Kiawe's fire trial, also on Akala Island, to obtain quick balls. These have a 5x catch rate multiplier if used on the first turn of battle.Thanks
- Like any time you try to catch a pokemon, bring along a pokemon with Thunder Wave and/or Spore(or any other move to put Feebas asleep/paralyze and one that can use False Swipe. This greatly increases your chances of a successful capture. A good pokemon for this is Absol who can learn both.Thanks
