Feebas (Japanese: ヒンバス Hinbass) is a Water-type Pokémon.
Feebas is known for its extreme rarity and it generally takes a long time to find one in the main series games where they are only found in a set number of randomly chosen fishing "tiles" on large bodies of water. For example, Route 119 in Hoenn has hundreds of squares that the fishing rod can be used on in the river that runs down it but Feebas is only found in six of them. However, Feebas are actually very common where they are found making it easy to catch multiple members of the species once one has been located.
Feebas evolves into Milotic by maxing out its Beauty condition, which is achieved through feeding it Pokéblocks or Poffin. Much like Magikarp and Remoraid, it is also a Water-type that does not resemble its evolved form.

Pokédex entries
| Gen | Game | Pokédex entry |
|---|---|---|
| III | Ruby | Feebas's fins are ragged and tattered from the start of its life. Because of its shoddy appearance, this Pokémon is largely ignored. It is capable of living in both the sea and in rivers. |
| Sapphire | While Feebas's body is in tatters, it has a hardy and tenacious life force that enables it to live anywhere. However, this Pokémon is also slow and dimwitted, making it an easy catch. | |
| Emerald | Feebas live in ponds that are heavily infested with weeds. Because of its hopelessly shabby appearance, it seems as if few trainers raise it. | |
| FireRed | Ridiculed for its shabby appearance, it is ignored by researchers. It lives in ponds choked with weeds. | |
| LeafGreen | Ridiculed for its shabby appearance, it is ignored by researchers. It lives in ponds choked with weeds. | |
| IV | Diamond | It is famous for its shabby appearance. While populous, they tend to cluster in set locations. |
| Pearl | It eats anything, so it can even live in polluted streams and lakes. No one pays any attention to it. |

- Though its level-up moves are exactly the same as those of Magikarp, Feebas can actually be taught TMs and HMs, be bred egg moves, and by tutor, making it slightly more useful in battle, especially from the start.
Origin
As its name suggests, Feebas is probably based on a bass.
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."
