Feebas (Japanese: ヒンバス Hinbass) is a Water-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Milotic by maxing out its Beauty condition.

Contents

Biology

Physiology

Feebas are somewhat shabby, old-looking basses with tattered blue fins and a tall, arch-shaped fin that juts from its back. Its rough-textured body is dotted in several old spots resembling rocks. It has large, gloomy eyes and big lips frozen into a frown.

When their beauty is maxed, their rocky scales begin to gleam like diamond. It shows that evolution is very near.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Although appearing to be old and worthless, Feebas are capable of learning powerful Ice moves, notably Blizzard and Ice Beam. They can also learn DragonBreath as an egg move through breeding.

Behavior

Feebas tend to be quite scarce in their natural range, but wherever they are found, they group together in tightly-packed schools. They're also easy to catch once encountered.

Habitat

Feebas is an aquatic Pokémon which can survive in both fresh and salt water thanks to its hardy nature. It prefers best ponds that are filled with weeds.

Diet

In the anime

Johanna and her Feebas in Dawn's dream in Malice in Wonderland!

Feebas has appeared four times in the anime. One was biting Jessie's hair in Whiscash and Ash.

The Magikarp Salesman sold a Feebas to Team Rocket in Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend but it was actually a Magikarp in disguise.

Another, in Ya See We Want an Evolution, was nicknamed the loveliest Feebas of all.

In Malice in Wonderland!, a Feebas under the ownership of Johanna was an illusion created by Mismagius.

Trivia

  • Though its level-up moves are exactly the same as those of Magikarp, Feebas can be taught TMs and HMs, hatch from an egg with egg moves, and learn tutored new moves, making it slightly more useful in battle.
  • Feebas shares the same species name with Magikarp. They are both known as Fish Pokémon.
  • Feebas is currently the only Pokémon that needs a modification of its contest stats for it to evolve.
  • Feebas has the lowest base Special Attack of any Pokémon, tied with Shuckle.

Origin

As its name suggests, Feebas is probably based on a bass. Its ugly appearance makes it appear to be also based from the concept of ugliness, appearing to don a wash of ugly makeup. It also seems to be based on the classic fairy tale, the The Ugly Duckling, where a small and feeble "ugly duckling", treated as an outcast by other animals, blossoms into a beautiful swan.

Name origin

Feebas's name is a combination of feeble, meaning small and weak, and bass. Its Japanese name is a combination of 貧 hin, poor, and bass. "Hin" may also come from the words "hind," as in behind, or "hinder."

In other languages

  • German: Barschwa - From Barsch (bass).
  • French: Barpau - From bar (bass).
  • Korean: 빈티나 Bintina
