===Evolution data===
Feebas evolves into when leveled up with its condition high enough. Starting from Generation V, it also evolves into Milotic when traded while holding a Prism Scale.
In games in which Pokémon Contests are absent, condition stats are hidden, but a Feebas that has enough points will still evolve when it is leveled up. The Prism Scale, introduced in Generation V, was created due to the fact that there is no legitimate way to raise a Feebas's Beauty in the Generation V games, whereas in , the could trade Feebas to , or ; and in , a haircut or grooming by Daisy Oak or the haircut brothers affects Beauty, though this cannot raise Feebas's Beauty if its sheen is too high.
