* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is possible to evolve {{p|Feebas}} into Milotic without [[Trade|trading]], even though no [[Poffin]] can be obtained and used in the game. This is done by visiting the [[Haircut brothers]] in [[Goldenrod City]] or by talking to [[Daisy Oak|Daisy]] in order to groom Feebas, which not only helps to raise its [[friendship]], but also raises its {{OBP|Beauty|condition}}. This is subtly stated by the brothers and Daisy in the games, but cannot be checked unless the Feebas is traded to Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum. However, this cannot raise Feebas's Beauty if its [[sheen]] is too high. | * In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is possible to evolve {{p|Feebas}} into Milotic without [[Trade|trading]], even though no [[Poffin]] can be obtained and used in the game.

Milotic seems to be based on a {{wp|sea serpent}} and a {{wp|mermaid}} due to its hair-like fins, pale upper body, and scaly lower body. It is also similar to an {{wp|oarfish}}, which have very long bodies and red fins. Its gills are similar to those of {{wp|Cyclostomata|lampreys and hagfishes}}. Its tail fin resembles a {{wp|hand fan}}, and its colorful scales resemble {{wp|stained glass}}. Its feminine appearance and history of being depicted in art indicate that it may be inspired by {{wp|Venus (mythology)|Venus}}, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Its drastic transformation after evolving from {{p|Feebas}} may be inspired by the classic fairy tale ''{{wp|The Ugly Duckling}}'', where a small and feeble duckling is treated as an outcast by other animals until it eventually grows up to be a beautiful swan. | Milotic seems to be based on a {{wp|sea serpent}} and a {{wp|mermaid}} due to its hair-like fins, pale upper body, and scaly lower body.
