I determined to myself I’d get myself a shiny feebas in my Ruby game, it took me 2 days of fishing every tile 3-4 times to ensure I didn’t miss one to find a Feebas tile. I fished that Feebas tile for 2 weeks and got a shiny Carvahna. I gave up that run for a while.
I really wish someone could've saved you by saying that YOU CAN and should USE THE OLD ROD FOR FEEBAS. Higher chance to land Feebas because Carvanha doesn't appear with the old rod, and no annoying mini game.
I don't think this is true, at least based on data I could find. All encounter tables are changed to reflect Feebas being 50% chance independent of rod used. The pure meta theory is that you should use the Super Rod, because the only other thing you could find is Carvanha so you know if its not Carvanha its Feebas. That being said, fuck Carvanha
@@dannymurray1854 the main issue is the amount of times you need to press a with any rod other than the old rod. You could have to do it up to 5 times with a super rod but only once with an old rod
I still will never forget when I went to search for feebas in ruby and started on the first tile beneath the waterfall and instantly encountered it. I was sitting back ready to spend hours. Literally laughed out loud for a minute.
I remember hunting for febass… kind of. When I was ten I spent 20 minutes looking for a wingull but I accidentally fished up a shiny female febass. I caught it and still have it to this day, and she is my pride and joy
@@Slender_Man_186 Yes I evolved it. It’s one of my ribbion Pokémon now. It’s gotten almost every ribbion it can since gen 3. It’s in Pokémon violet now.
When I was 11 I would wake up everyday and search for Feebas before school. I don't think I understood the tile thing completely but eventually I found one relatively quickly and caught 2 of them. The part I messed up on was Milotic, somehow my brain thought "oh yes. the beauty Pokemon. I bet it evolves through cuteness" so I maxed its cuteness. When that didn't work, rather than look it up, I figured that maybe I need to get every cuteness ribbon, so I entered all the cute contests and won them. When that didn't work I finally looked it up and found out it was for beauty. I fortunately evolved the other one I caught.
Use a pokemon with the ability suction cups to get a pokemon on the line 100% (only works with pokemon emerald because that's when overworld ability effects were added... does not work with sappire or ruby) Also use old rod. Turn off battle animations, make speed text fast and if it's not raining you save a lot of time too. Only fish 2 or 3 times on each tile.
I found Feebas on my Ruby in twelve minutes (happened to be in one of the first tiles I checked, even though I only checked each tile once), promptly fished out four of them, and set to breeding for good stats. It took me years to realise how lucky I'd been.
something you didn't even mention about how awful evolving Feebas into Milotic is - the pokemon's nature slightly affects how well a pokeblock works for it. Depending on your Feebas' nature, if you're unlucky it won't like the beauty-boosting blocks and thus gets less out of them, making it harder to get max beauty to evolve it! When I was a kid, I remember getting fairly lucky with finding a Feebas tile and then stupidly catching only one... just to find it had a bad nature. And since I HADN'T thoroughly researched the best berries to use, I didn't have the best possible pokeblocks and ended up capping the amount I could use before it maxed beauty. All that work... for nothing.
@@matthewcurry3565you can ditto it, yes. If you're playing ruby or sapphire you need to trade a ditto from another game so if you didn't have a friend with firered or leafgreen, or 2 systems and a copy of those games yourself, you were in trouble. In emerald version Ditto can be acquired in the postgame so not as big a problem. Of course if you were lucky enough to have a female feebas breeding with a different pokemon works. If you were lucky you might have accidentally stumbled into one of its egg moves (Hypnosis on a defensive pokemon like milotic is absurdly broken, back then Milotic was one of the best defensive water types).
It took me 4 hours in 4 days (about an hour each day) to catch feebas in emerald and THANKFULLY the dry battery saved me for once as those feebas tiles never changed. the dumb thing I pretty much went crazy after day 2 because I fished every tile for 4 pokemon before I moved on to the next tile.

Within an hour or so I got through about half of the river before finally finding a Feebas square (short amount of time imo)!

Drew big papa once I set up an entire stream at like 5 am to go all day on fishing for feebas with a livestream timer and everything and we found it in under 10 mins. Congrats on evolving benjals
I ended up extremely lucky in my first game, which was emerald. Just fished off one of the shores and pulled a feebas up. I did buy a game guide from the local gamestop shortly after, the one that says ralts doesn't evolve, yeah. So while I didn't realize feebas was as rare as it was at the time, I did get to find out how to evolve it and use it on team. Good times.
8:57 I love this so much. I just love to wait ages to join a raid just for it to tell me I couldn't join it's genuinely the best Pokemon multiplayer experience ever man it is so good let me tell ya
When I was brainstorming my best team for Pokemon Emerald, I realized I had to catch Feebas because Milotic is the best option to toxic stall Elite 4 Glacia's ice type pokemon and defeat them (with the help of Shedinja) despite being extremely underleveled because she has access to the move recover. It was excruciatingly annoying to evolve her, but she was worth the trouble in the end. Great video!
@SerDerpish The tiles only change when you adjust the "Trendy Phrase" in Dewford, so along as you don't do that it will never change, and it applies to six random tiles on the river not just one.
@SerDerpish In Gen 4 it's every 24 hours tho, the lower room of Mt. Cornet (where it's foggy) will have a pond that picks 4 random tiles every 24 hours, there's more to it but that's the just.
The best part about watching videos from creators like you is hearing all the old music I recognize. Heard Metroid, one piece, Sonic songs and ofc Pokémon music. Really brings me back
Just wanna say your channel is a hidden gem. I never had a Pokémon childhood and am discovering it in my college years. I beat fire red last summer and got a DS (and a 2dsxl for trading purposes hehe) and am now playing soul silver. I also got a free genuine copy of Emerald. Can’t wait to catch ‘em all! Including feebas 💀
If you put a Pokémon with suction cups as the ability first in your party, the fishing game gets easier. I’m also glad you were playing on an emulator, otherwise, those berries would not have grown.
Absolutely great video, one of the best pokemon videos Ive seen from someone not name Reverend. There are so many "Hardest pokemon to get" and "craziest evolution methods" videos out there, but only this actually captures the feel of what it's like to play the damn thing
There’s so much I love about this video. The theatrical intro, the editing, the excellent choice(s) of music… and the semi-improvised dialogue was amazing. 😂 And my name is Drew also! 🙂 I was always under the impression that Feebas only has a very small% to show up on 4 fishing tiles, and that those tiles change upon entering/reentering the route… I never knew there were set tiles for each file. I’ve learned a lot from watching this and was thoroughly entertained - thank you!
Underrated vid right here 🤣🤣 i found feebas by luck ( but un intentionally hitting every tile not knowing)!! It was crazy difficult. Knowing the tile information would have prevented alot of days where i was just in the same spot 🤦♂️
The data available on the way the tile information is calculated is extremely interesting and makes everything go by super quick! would have loved to have that as a kid
The only pro about your internal battery being dry is that the Feebas spots will never change. I remember having to hoarde every single berry I got in a new file just so I would hopefully have enough to change the Feebas I caught into Milotic. Had just enough to accomplish it
BRUH! The SHEER LUCK you would need to have in getting a female Feebas on top of all of that WHILE ALSO landing a Mild Nature IS INSANE! I only managed that twice in my multiple playthroughs of Emerald when I was young.
A guy called Chris Piché is doing crowd control with shiny Feebas, he has to try get a shiny Feebas before chat gives him a Feebas that is shiny or the run resets... We're over 100 hours in. 80 resets.
A beautiful study of what onset madness looks like lol. Makes me realize how dangerous that route's river really is, what with all the Carvanha swimming around >
I can feel all OG players pain back then. Even today when the sticky hold + six tiles + trendy phrase connection has been figured out, it's still a pain in the neck when you have to fish on every 400+ tiles in the 119 river and do it all over again when you miss all the six spots
ahh feebas... i remember fishing on every tile on route 119, minus the few above the waterfall. not a single feebas. i go up the waterfall and, oh look, feebas on the very first tile. my internal battery had run dry by this point so i had to be very, very careful rationing out berries to make good blue pokeblocks (i also had to catch about 20 or so feebas to find one with a nature favorable to blue pokeblocks). ...worth it.
I had no idea there was such an arduous process to catch a feebas, and didn't find out until years later when I saw so many videos, guides, and memes detailing just how obnoxious it is. I then realized how amazingly lucky I was to have a Milotic that had beaten the master rank Pokemon contest and to this day can't figure out how I caught a feebas all by accident and didn't even give it a second thought. 😅
I had an easy time of it. My copy of Sapphire came with a strategy guide, which gave me a trendy phrase to give to the guy at Dewford Town and mapped out which tiles corresponded to that phrase.
I remember I was doing a replay of Emerald a few years back. I decided to finally find the Feebas tile after years of knowing about it but never finding it. Finally after locating it, I decided to farm for the best nature Feebas and shockingly 20 Feebas in I caught a shiny.
I almost feel bad because I've done it twice. The first time was on my original save when I was in high school. The second time was last week on my third playthrough. The Elite Four was kicking my ass, so for the hell of it, I decided to look for Feebas while training a Machop. I found the spot on a tile just below the first bridge. I never in a million years thought I would catch and evolve a second Feebas. I EV trained it, used it at the Battle Tower and finally got that 100-win streak.
I completely feel you on this one! I'm actually starting a fresh file in emerald and I plan on doing this already to myself. I am already aware of the challenges that's going to happen. However I've always wanted to do it because the first time I had a milotic was in Gen 5 when you can do the trade method. You are 100% right there's not really many NPCs to help you along with the challenge. Only guide books at the time. The internet was a different playground back then information wasn't readily at your fingertips.
I did this as an adult, and after learning a ton about it. I got lucky and found a febass very quickly, but I still think being able to max it's sheen and lock it out of evolution is the most unintentionally cruel mechanic
I did this back in the day, and man the experience was about the same, maybe faster. I remember you were supposed to use the old rod, though. On the plus side one of the most fun things I ever did was breed a gyarados with a salamence to get a bagon with hydro pump, dragon rage, and flamethrower, that I traded over to my 2nd Emerald save as a lvl 5. I still got that bugger transferred all the way up through pokemon bank and everything.
You know, I actually caught a Feebas relatively easily as a kid. I knew nothing of how insane the requirements were to find it until about 12 years after the fact. I honestly had no clue it was even that big of a deal to find, I just thought it was your average encounter that could show up on any tile. I must have gotten very lucky. Then I never got Milotic because I maxed out its sheen just barely shy of full beauty. I was very upset. I never actually bothered to go back to try catching another for some reason. But anyway, fun video. Just found your channel, and I'm definitely going to check out more of your stuff.
Back in the day me and my best friend used to play together. I had ruby and she had sapphire. We were kids and English is not our first language, we also didn’t have access to the internet like we do today… So my friend, who really wanted a Milotic, fished for literally days in that route without knowing about the tiles thing and somehow finally found one Feebas.. Only to never get a Milotic because she maxed out the Pokeblocks it could eat and the thing didn’t have enough beauty. She even trained the Feebas to level 90-something, thinking maybe it will evolve at a high level or something, but nah…
I remember getting one as a kid when Emerald came out. I guess I was super lucky because I had the Emerald paperback guide that it was in. I caught an entire box full of Feebas so I could trade to my friends.
I was so young and naive to the fact that is was so rare in that game lol I caught one didn’t feed it the right pokeblocks and went back and found some more to evolve right 🤣
This brings me back to when my friend got a feebas. I found wiki berry to work best for beauty (at the time). So we had to grow a lot of wiki berries and then I had to teach my friend how to do the poke block mini game (as I was the only one in my group to do contests) to get milotic.
My older brother somehow caught two feebas in a single session of playing emerald, and told me that they were just super common like Magikarp. Until about ten years later, I thought that it was super easy to acquire because of that. Needless to say, when I couldn’t find one and looked up how to catch them, I was pissed
yoo underrated content right here it's even worse in dppt, as far as i know the feebas tiles just respawn every single day, so it doesn't even have a fixed place you can return to. it does have less tiles but finding it was such a nightmare xD
I feel you. I’ve gone back and tried to get a shiny feebas in the original emerald game as well as in my omega ruby game. I’ve given up and never had gone back yet to this day it been a couple of moths and I don’t plan on on doing it again
I finally tried catching feebas at my most recent playthrough of emerald. I'm so lucky that i got a feebas tile at the 6th tile so i caught like 15 of em
I remember finding a Feebas without knowing it existed or that it only appeared on specific tiles. When I saw it could turn into Milotic I went to get it only to tragically find out I wasn't able to max out the beauty. I never got another Feebas after that.
When I was in high school, I had a massive crush on this guy in the grade ahead of me. I didn't really have good social skills back then so I got some weird ideas on how to get him to like me. One morning I saw him playing a rom of emerald on his computer looking for a feebass. I was like, this is my chance to impress him. So I downloaded a rom of my own, played up to that point in emerald, and stayed up all night looking for a feebass tile. I memorized the location and saved, and when I saw him the next morning I pulled out my laptop and challenged him to a race to see who could find feebass first. I surfed to a "random" tile and pulled one up first bite. He was so mad and I thought it was hilarious. Shockingly, despite this impressive feat he turned me down when I asked him out.
Finding feebas was never a problem for me, I really don’t know how I found one pre-internet era, but I did. What was the challenge was getting Milotic. I had a level 95 Feebas and I thought I maxed beauty with pokeblocks, however I fed it all but one of the beauty blocks, so it didn’t get to evolve lol.
I remember doing this shit as a kid and it took me literal days. In addition to the hunt taking forever, I had to breed a new Feebas because the one I caught hated the pokeblocks
Maybe i'm just weird but i really liked fishing and contests so when i learned about the limited tiles thing it was just a simple task of fishing in each one untill i found Feebas, and then i gave it all my good beauty pokeblocks. It was fun.
I tried this hunt once in Sapphire as a kid, never again. So glad I got 2 shiny Feebases in PoGO during one fo the GOFest a few years back, and now one of them is in Paldea as a Milotic, even if I had to evolve it with Poffins of all things...:)
as a kid I remember randomly getting the tile and not wanting to catch it because it was ugly... then I spent ages trying to find it again. And I did, but I messed up the pokeblocks, so I couldn't evolve it. And then I forgot about where the tile was. And I didn't know about ditto breeding.
Gratz! I remember when I cauggt mine. I worked overnights pumping gas. (I live in New Jersey and its illegal to pump your own gas.) For three days i sat and put many hours on shift and again when i got home. I didn't know if it was the tile you are on, or the one the rod was facing so I went up, down, left, right, move. I did that so many times. I also didn't know it wasn't 100% so I'm glad i did that. Anyway about halfway down I got one. I got a second too. The first two hated blue pokeblocks, so I had to breed a third to get milotic. It was hard, but I enjoyed it. Again Gratz!
When I was a kid, we didn't have guides on how to get Feebas and the internet was still considered dangerous for kids to traverse. Because of that, during recesses on the playground in 2003, kids would huddle in friend groups and Pokemon dedicated circles whilst speaking about Feebas as if it were a myth. Some claimed you had to go to Dewford Town and say a hip, popular phrase to one of the townspeople in order for the fabled Feebas to potentially appear, while some claimed that Feebas would only appear if you acquired a specific item that was hard to come by. It was a confusing mess back then on how to get Feebas but part of it was thrilling because everyone hyped Feebas up to be a god and we wanted to own that god.
I recently got my shiny Feebas. I spent over 100 hours and weeks searching for it. However, when my Feebas tile changed, I decided to breed for it. Luckily, it only took me 25 eggs to get a Shiny Feebas. The Old Rod, is the most fastest way to hunt for it.
Legends say you find a shiny carvanha before the feebas, and that happened to me
and you're so real for that
I found a tentacool like weeks before seeing a feebas
I determined to myself I’d get myself a shiny feebas in my Ruby game, it took me 2 days of fishing every tile 3-4 times to ensure I didn’t miss one to find a Feebas tile.
I fished that Feebas tile for 2 weeks and got a shiny Carvahna.
I gave up that run for a while.
@@SNAPKICK4114 Nice Profile Picture🍃
Congrats on the shiny! Not what you wanted and I don't think anyone talks about Carvahna, but still a shiny.
FACT: 99% of Pokemon fishing addicts quit right before they're about to reel in a Feebas

It's so true!!!😂
I really wish someone could've saved you by saying that YOU CAN and should USE THE OLD ROD FOR FEEBAS.

It really only takes a few minutes to an hour max.

Underrated vid right here 🤣🤣 i found feebas by luck ( but un intentionally hitting every tile not knowing)!! It was crazy difficult. Knowing the tile information would have prevented alot of days where i was just in the same spot 🤦♂️
The data available on the way the tile information is calculated is extremely interesting and makes everything go by super quick! would have loved to have that as a kid
@@droomish1 facts bro lol 😂😫
The only pro about your internal battery being dry is that the Feebas spots will never change. I remember having to hoarde every single berry I got in a new file just so I would hopefully have enough to change the Feebas I caught into Milotic. Had just enough to accomplish it
BRUH! The SHEER LUCK you would need to have in getting a female Feebas on top of all of that WHILE ALSO landing a Mild Nature IS INSANE!
I only managed that twice in my multiple playthroughs of Emerald when I was young.
“These are the fish that make you regret your life decisions.”
I don’t need a fish for that!
A guy called Chris Piché is doing crowd control with shiny Feebas, he has to try get a shiny Feebas before chat gives him a Feebas that is shiny or the run resets... We're over 100 hours in. 80 resets.
amazing content bro, hope your channel does amazing in the future
A beautiful study of what onset madness looks like lol. Makes me realize how dangerous that route's river really is, what with all the Carvanha swimming around >
I got a Milotic before the league in BDSP, that's where knowing DP inside out gets you
I can feel all OG players pain back then. Even today when the sticky hold + six tiles + trendy phrase connection has been figured out, it's still a pain in the neck when you have to fish on every 400+ tiles in the 119 river and do it all over again when you miss all the six spots
ahh feebas... i remember fishing on every tile on route 119, minus the few above the waterfall. not a single feebas. i go up the waterfall and, oh look, feebas on the very first tile. my internal battery had run dry by this point so i had to be very, very careful rationing out berries to make good blue pokeblocks (i also had to catch about 20 or so feebas to find one with a nature favorable to blue pokeblocks).
...worth it.
true sigma grindset used here. very nice very pog, how do you pronounce milotic
pronounced like ligma I believe. hope this helps
my-low-tick
Imagine my favorite past time for old Pokémon was breeding. Running back and forth, back and forth
I had no idea there was such an arduous process to catch a feebas, and didn't find out until years later when I saw so many videos, guides, and memes detailing just how obnoxious it is. I then realized how amazingly lucky I was to have a Milotic that had beaten the master rank Pokemon contest and to this day can't figure out how I caught a feebas all by accident and didn't even give it a second thought. 😅
I had an easy time of it. My copy of Sapphire came with a strategy guide, which gave me a trendy phrase to give to the guy at Dewford Town and mapped out which tiles corresponded to that phrase.
I had a milotic in the OG emerald but I destroyed a few feebas with the terrible blocks
I remember I was doing a replay of Emerald a few years back. I decided to finally find the Feebas tile after years of knowing about it but never finding it. Finally after locating it, I decided to farm for the best nature Feebas and shockingly 20 Feebas in I caught a shiny.
I almost feel bad because I've done it twice. The first time was on my original save when I was in high school. The second time was last week on my third playthrough. The Elite Four was kicking my ass, so for the hell of it, I decided to look for Feebas while training a Machop. I found the spot on a tile just below the first bridge.
I never in a million years thought I would catch and evolve a second Feebas. I EV trained it, used it at the Battle Tower and finally got that 100-win streak.
Feebas (and Milotic) was the one pokemon I needed to complete the Sapphire Hoenn pokedex. So frustrating.
The sonic adventure 2 battle music goes hard at 4:14
I completely feel you on this one! I'm actually starting a fresh file in emerald and I plan on doing this already to myself. I am already aware of the challenges that's going to happen. However I've always wanted to do it because the first time I had a milotic was in Gen 5 when you can do the trade method.
You are 100% right there's not really many NPCs to help you along with the challenge. Only guide books at the time. The internet was a different playground back then information wasn't readily at your fingertips.
im finally deciding to take on this hunt myself. wish me luck, cant wait to actually see a milotic on my gba's screen
Did you find one?
I did this as an adult, and after learning a ton about it. I got lucky and found a febass very quickly, but I still think being able to max it's sheen and lock it out of evolution is the most unintentionally cruel mechanic
I did this back in the day, and man the experience was about the same, maybe faster. I remember you were supposed to use the old rod, though.
On the plus side one of the most fun things I ever did was breed a gyarados with a salamence to get a bagon with hydro pump, dragon rage, and flamethrower, that I traded over to my 2nd Emerald save as a lvl 5. I still got that bugger transferred all the way up through pokemon bank and everything.
I was 10 when I decided to make the decision to fish for Feebas on Emerald to get Milotic for the Battle Frontier. It took me 7 hrs, but it paid off.
You know, I actually caught a Feebas relatively easily as a kid. I knew nothing of how insane the requirements were to find it until about 12 years after the fact. I honestly had no clue it was even that big of a deal to find, I just thought it was your average encounter that could show up on any tile. I must have gotten very lucky. Then I never got Milotic because I maxed out its sheen just barely shy of full beauty. I was very upset. I never actually bothered to go back to try catching another for some reason. But anyway, fun video. Just found your channel, and I'm definitely going to check out more of your stuff.
Back in the day me and my best friend used to play together. I had ruby and she had sapphire. We were kids and English is not our first language, we also didn’t have access to the internet like we do today… So my friend, who really wanted a Milotic, fished for literally days in that route without knowing about the tiles thing and somehow finally found one Feebas.. Only to never get a Milotic because she maxed out the Pokeblocks it could eat and the thing didn’t have enough beauty. She even trained the Feebas to level 90-something, thinking maybe it will evolve at a high level or something, but nah…
This video made me soooo nostalgic! Pokemon Emerald and the bg music from Paper Mario Thousand Year Door! My 2 most played games back in the old days!
The section about “the bottom of water” 6:48 comes so far out of left field every time I rewatch this. 10/10 hilarious
This video is amazing.
Similar trials of feebas in gen four, found a shiny whiscash before my first feebas over the course of 6 days of searching
This is the most realistic Feebas video I’ve ever seen (apart from the part where you found Feebas)
Cast...Game....Next Tile...
🐟🐟🐟
One benefit if having a game with a dead battery is that the feebas tiles don't change so once you find one you're good to go
I remember getting one as a kid when Emerald came out. I guess I was super lucky because I had the Emerald paperback guide that it was in. I caught an entire box full of Feebas so I could trade to my friends.
I was so young and naive to the fact that is was so rare in that game lol I caught one didn’t feed it the right pokeblocks and went back and found some more to evolve right 🤣
dude your content is amazing! Subbed as soon as I heard the metroid fusion background music lmao
The fishing explanation at about 6:00 minutes in made me realize something.
If you ever pivot your channel to fishing, I'd watch the hell out of that.
This brings me back to when my friend got a feebas. I found wiki berry to work best for beauty (at the time). So we had to grow a lot of wiki berries and then I had to teach my friend how to do the poke block mini game (as I was the only one in my group to do contests) to get milotic.
My older brother somehow caught two feebas in a single session of playing emerald, and told me that they were just super common like Magikarp. Until about ten years later, I thought that it was super easy to acquire because of that. Needless to say, when I couldn’t find one and looked up how to catch them, I was pissed
Hilarious commentary when you were trying to catch Feebas😂
Never did the original hunt, but I have done it in both Platinum and BDSP, fun little journey, sucks that you made it harder by using super rod lol.
I randomly got a shiny feebas on my new Emerald playthrough, I actually cried
It's so beautiful! Worth every second if you ask me. Febass was just a dream for me as a child.
You're triggering sooooo much pain bro... Love the nostalgia 🤣
I too am like a Feebas, except if I were to become truly beautiful, I wouldn't become a water serpent. That's tuff but good video rebranded Drew.
thanks boss
yoo underrated content right here
it's even worse in dppt, as far as i know the feebas tiles just respawn every single day, so it doesn't even have a fixed place you can return to. it does have less tiles but finding it was such a nightmare xD
The slow decent of sanity was perfect in this ep.
Man hunting Feebas I’ll never forget when I reeled it in I was at grandmas house too so it was especially memorable
I feel you. I’ve gone back and tried to get a shiny feebas in the original emerald game as well as in my omega ruby game. I’ve given up and never had gone back yet to this day it been a couple of moths and I don’t plan on on doing it again
I finally tried catching feebas at my most recent playthrough of emerald. I'm so lucky that i got a feebas tile at the 6th tile so i caught like 15 of em
This grind gave me my first shiny in a yellow magikarp so I’m happy it exists for that reason at least
I remember finding a Feebas without knowing it existed or that it only appeared on specific tiles. When I saw it could turn into Milotic I went to get it only to tragically find out I wasn't able to max out the beauty. I never got another Feebas after that.
When I was in high school, I had a massive crush on this guy in the grade ahead of me. I didn't really have good social skills back then so I got some weird ideas on how to get him to like me. One morning I saw him playing a rom of emerald on his computer looking for a feebass. I was like, this is my chance to impress him. So I downloaded a rom of my own, played up to that point in emerald, and stayed up all night looking for a feebass tile. I memorized the location and saved, and when I saw him the next morning I pulled out my laptop and challenged him to a race to see who could find feebass first. I surfed to a "random" tile and pulled one up first bite. He was so mad and I thought it was hilarious. Shockingly, despite this impressive feat he turned me down when I asked him out.
Finding feebas was never a problem for me, I really don’t know how I found one pre-internet era, but I did. What was the challenge was getting Milotic. I had a level 95 Feebas and I thought I maxed beauty with pokeblocks, however I fed it all but one of the beauty blocks, so it didn’t get to evolve lol.
I remember doing this shit as a kid and it took me literal days. In addition to the hunt taking forever, I had to breed a new Feebas because the one I caught hated the pokeblocks
Didn't think this could be worse than looking for a metal coat, but here we are
Wait, Metal Coat was rare? Don't you just steal those from Magnemites?
Now we all realise how badass Cynthia is by having to endure this and still also having a Spiritomb in her party...
When I replayed emerald in 2016 I found feebas on the first tile I fished on. Didn’t realise it was this rare
Cap
@@hectorlumbagoCringe As in I fished a couple times in one tile and got it. Just got mega lucky
@@hectorlumbagoCringemillions of people play these games. It’s gonna happen to a few people
Maybe i'm just weird but i really liked fishing and contests so when i learned about the limited tiles thing it was just a simple task of fishing in each one untill i found Feebas, and then i gave it all my good beauty pokeblocks.
It was fun.
I tried this hunt once in Sapphire as a kid, never again. So glad I got 2 shiny Feebases in PoGO during one fo the GOFest a few years back, and now one of them is in Paldea as a Milotic, even if I had to evolve it with Poffins of all things...:)
just to be safe, i went ahead and caught multiple feebas. wanted to make sure i had one
as a kid I remember randomly getting the tile and not wanting to catch it because it was ugly... then I spent ages trying to find it again. And I did, but I messed up the pokeblocks, so I couldn't evolve it. And then I forgot about where the tile was. And I didn't know about ditto breeding.
Gratz! I remember when I cauggt mine. I worked overnights pumping gas. (I live in New Jersey and its illegal to pump your own gas.) For three days i sat and put many hours on shift and again when i got home. I didn't know if it was the tile you are on, or the one the rod was facing so I went up, down, left, right, move. I did that so many times. I also didn't know it wasn't 100% so I'm glad i did that. Anyway about halfway down I got one. I got a second too. The first two hated blue pokeblocks, so I had to breed a third to get milotic. It was hard, but I enjoyed it. Again Gratz!
The SPONGEBOY ME BOB made me grin and I went to subscribe, but then I remembered I was already subbed
When I was a kid, we didn't have guides on how to get Feebas and the internet was still considered dangerous for kids to traverse. Because of that, during recesses on the playground in 2003, kids would huddle in friend groups and Pokemon dedicated circles whilst speaking about Feebas as if it were a myth. Some claimed you had to go to Dewford Town and say a hip, popular phrase to one of the townspeople in order for the fabled Feebas to potentially appear, while some claimed that Feebas would only appear if you acquired a specific item that was hard to come by. It was a confusing mess back then on how to get Feebas but part of it was thrilling because everyone hyped Feebas up to be a god and we wanted to own that god.
I recently got my shiny Feebas. I spent over 100 hours and weeks searching for it. However, when my Feebas tile changed, I decided to breed for it. Luckily, it only took me 25 eggs to get a Shiny Feebas. The Old Rod, is the most fastest way to hunt for it.
I got a Munchlax on my second tree I honeyed in Platinum. I just wanted a Combee...
This is amazing work, I got recommended this so hopefully the video blows up with views
thank you boss!! here's hoping
