The '''Prism Scale''' (Japanese: '''きれいなウロコ''' ''Beautiful Scale'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It allows {{p|Feebas}} to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Milotic}}.

{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev9|ZA}}|N/A|{{pdollar}}500}}
|}
|}

===Effect===
====Held item====
Causes {{p|Feebas}} to evolve into {{p|Milotic}} when [[trade]]d while holding it. This consumes the Prism Scale.

This item was introduced in [[Generation V]] due to the lack of a means to increase [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty]] in these games. However, even in games in which the Prism Scale exists, a Feebas can still evolve if leveled up while its Beauty is high enough.

===Detective Pikachu===
A Prism Scale appears during Chapter 4 of {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|video game}}, being worn by [[Milo Green]] on his headband. He mentions that he obtained the scale when he was once saved from drowning by a Pokémon, which is later revealed to have been a Milotic. The presence of this Prism Scale also acts as the trigger to the Evolution of a Feebas that Milo has befriended.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
A Prism Scale appeared in ''[[JN031|The Cuteness Quotient!]]'', where it was attached to [[Jinny]]'s {{p|Feebas}}. During an attack by {{TRT}}, the Prism Scale fell off, but Jinny reattached it to Feebas, causing it to evolve into {{p|Milotic}}.

==Trivia==

A Prism Scale appears during Chapter 4 of {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|video game}}, being worn by [[Milo Green]] on his headband. He mentions that he obtained the scale when he was once saved from drowning by a Pokémon, which is later revealed to have been a Milotic. The presence of this Prism Scale also acts as the trigger to the Evolution of a Feebas that Milo has befriended.

The '''Prism Scale''' (Japanese: '''きれいなウロコ''' ''Beautiful Scale'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It allows {{p|Feebas}} to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Milotic}}.

==In the core series games==
===Price===

{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev9|ZA}}|N/A|{{pdollar}}500}}
|}
|}

===Effect===
====Held item====
Causes {{p|Feebas}} to evolve into {{p|Milotic}} when [[trade]]d while holding it. This consumes the Prism Scale.

This item was introduced in [[Generation V]] due to the lack of a means to increase [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty]] in these games. However, even in games in which the Prism Scale exists, a Feebas can still evolve if leveled up while its Beauty is high enough.
