Feebas (in D/P), rare?

[empoleonmikel]

Finding the location (Mt. Coronet underground foggy lake, entrance near Celestic Town) where to catch Feebas is very easy, and catch rate is quite high. But encountering one is very difficult :( due to that, i consider feebas as one of the rarest pokemon in D/P. How about you guys? Have you ever caught feebas with ease? Can anyone share the easiest approach/method in locating the "exact" tile where to throw the fishing rod? :(

[damio]

Without cheating, never.
With DSPokeEdit, I looked where the tiles were and farmed them xD

[Greencat]

Nah, it's still possible, but you will have to be very patient when finding a "Feebas Splash" ;P

[empoleonmikel]

the first method i tried was "random" fishing.. without luck :(
then, i tried the "sweeper" approach, threw the fishing rod 5 times in each adjacent tile as i move... and you are right, patience is the key. i managed to "sweep" about 300 tiles and just gave up :(

[Enkidu]

OH MAN, Milotic used to be one of my favorite pokemon and found that little ******* every single time. It took me so long going tile by tile. But I wouldn't really call it "rare" There are more pokemon with a 2% pokeradar chance that I would love to get my hands on and strangle way more than feebass. :D

While feebas is tedious to get, you know that eventually you WILL find him. And Lady luck is a fickle mistress as they say.

[ZMaster]

I was lucky to fish 2 in my Ruby, and I just made them breed like crazy, and started migrating them XD

[NTR-AAQE-USA]

I found the spot in emerald and catched over 20 of them :p

[xeomyr]

as damio said ...
by using DSPokeEdit ..
you could know the exact location of feebas (all of the 5 tiles)

and you could even catch it using good rod ^^ .. if you want a prove , then me myself catch it using good rod XD

anwyay if I was asked like that .. then I would say that ..

But where is DSPokeEdit, and how? <_<

[wraith89]

I've never found Feebas yet... they're in four RANDOM tiles in that lake under Mt. Coronet... and it changes EVERY DAY. You'll want to fish it out with an Old Rod or something (any rod will do... really).

we all know that almost everything is easy if we will use external utilities. i'm talkin' about the in-game process, free from external interference.
anyway, thanks for sharing, and oh, BTW, i hope that you'll try catching feebas without using PokeEdit :D

@wraith:
yeah, i've seen videos from youtube, any rod will do. it's the location of the exact tiles that's difficult. :(

[Fallen]

I've never run into one in the wild. I don't have the patience to check all what, 800 tiles? If I want one I'll trade or ARDS it.

[xeomyr]

But where is DSPokeEdit, and how? <_<
i don't know if it's allowed to post the english patched ver. of DSPokeEdit..
alternatively .. search it in google .. there should be japanese and spanish version ^^

that way .. I will probably never catch it .. not even one XD ...
it is super sucks and will take much of my time to get one =_=
especially if i use good rod .. probably it gonna take years XD XD XD

[4evil]

i spent an hour or 2 fishing for one in emerald and found it :D
(yes emerald, way more tiles then d/p/p)

[Ziz]

I fished for about 5 min and found one in Emerald. Too lazy to look for it in D/P/Pt.

[Fallen]

Wow, you two got lucky! Especially Naru-Chu.

[Mewtwo Ex]

I knew the method and spoke to a boy in Delford and he told me a random phrase that rendomized the spots on the water path in emerald( same as Ruby and Sapphire) And after about 20 minutes i got 2.

[Aarux]

I've never seen a wild Feebas in D/P/Pt. I'm not patient enough to look through all those tiles.

But on Emerald, I spent a while looking for one. I eventually found a horde of them. Then I accidently dropped my SP and the game froze. Good thing they stay in the same spots for that one day, huh?

[wraith89]

It's much easier in Route 119 in Hoenn than that underground lake in Mt. Coronet... that lake is HUGE. I do NOT have the patience to fish one.

[Mewtwo Ex]

That might be so but it's much more rewarding.

[Greencat]

Opened. This is actually a good topic to discuss Feebas and Milotic rarity. ;)

[empoleonmikel]

^yeah, thanks for re-opening this topic. actually, i am not asking for help or something, i just want others to share their opinion regarding "feebas"... :)

update: almost daily, i am visiting that foggy lake, but no luck in encountering that "muddy" fish. for me, the difficulty in finding feebas is somewhat a real pain in my a**. it's not just surfin' or walkin' around task, throwing the fishing rod (even though I have "y-registered" it) is not a joke. :(

[Pokeman123]

i have a feebas but breeded milotic with floatzel and there goes a feebas

[FLOOTENKERP]

I just catch my Feebas in Sapphire and migrate them, its easier that way. I hate Feebas anyway.

[wraith89]

I think I'll have to migrate Milotic from Ruby/Sapphire. It's just so hard finding anything in the lake. And Floot... you seem to hate like almost every Hoenn Pokes? Is it because Feebas is a bootlegged Magikarp? :p

[Mewtwo Ex]

I actually find something worth training in the ugly swamp brown fish.

[wraith89]

I reached 12 Pokeblocks for Feebas and yet it never evolved. The first time I tried to evolve my Feebas... I just kept on doing beauty contests with her... and she won! In fact, she even made it to the art gallery in Lilycove... so she was SO beautiful... but just WOULDN'T evolve! It's because she didn't reach the beauty threshold, but still... my Feebas is more beautiful than the others :)

[Mewtwo Ex]

Impressive little bass you have there. And still didn't evolve. Mine always evolve after the first contest. I give it one PokeBlock and that is all i do then when i win i level up and then the ''most beautiful Pokemon''.

[wraith89]

Impressive little bass you have there. And still didn't evolve. Mine always evolve after the first contest. I give it one PokeBlock and that is all i do then when i win i level up and the the ''most beautiful Pokemon''.

Are you serious? Is that how they evolve? I thought you just max out its beauty with those Blue/Indigo Pokeblocks and level the Feebas up. Whatever, I'm content with my Magikarp's ugly stepsister :P

[Mewtwo Ex]

...yes that is how...
How did you figure it would evolve with it's experience bar in the begging, middle or near end?! You know well that it evolves when it bar get fulled at a certain level.


So did you get your serpent?

[Aarux]

Now, on Platinum, since you can buy some nice Poffin, isn't it easier to make them evolve? I maxed out mine's sheen by using that.

Back in the days of R/S/E, I thought beauty didn't have to be maxed, I thought it just had to be high... the you had to level it up and it'd eventually evolve. Boy, was I wrong. *stares at Lv. 60 Feebas*

[FLOOTENKERP]

my Feebas is more beautiful than the others :)
Feebas's look like piles of crap. It kinda creeps me out how they are supposed to be girl Pokémon.

[Aarux]

Girl Pokemon? I always thought of Feebas as a guy Pokemon, the it turns into a girl one. Hmmm...

But yeah, Feebas are pretty, uh, odd-looking. But...

Don't judge a book by its cover. :/

[FLOOTENKERP]

I always say, looks reflect personality, and if I'm correct, Feebas's personality is a pile of crap lit on fire.

[Aarux]

Pile of crap... lit on fire, eh? Haha...

I gotta say, though, Magikarp is even better than this poor almost-twin. Not move-wise, but evolution and looks. It doesn't look like something my kitty hurled.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Magikarp is perfect. It makes a good favorite as a pet. Especially if its shiny. Gold, its so awesome, not like crap bag over there.

[wraith89]

Guys, let's not hurt the ugly stepsister here. This discussion, if I remember correctly, is about the rarity of Feebas, not about how ugly she looks and all >_>

Floot, you have to stop hijacking these topics like this XD
You're so mean to the Pokemon I like :(

And you people probably haven't known this, but Feebas, unlike her more intelligent brother Magikarp, can learn TMs/HMs and hereditary moves! o_O

[empoleonmikel]

Feebas maybe the "ugliest" pokemon to some others, but for me, owning the most beautiful pokemon (milotic) via natural in-game process (not by hacking, migrating or trading) is truly a big challenge which i have no plan of giving up. i already catched 2 shinies from un-expected, un-suspected place and time, thus, my spirit is higher on finding feebas. :)

Just like how the weak Magikarp can become a terrifyingly powerful Gyarados, right? ;)

[Fallen]

Just imagine how powerful Gyarados would be if he had a 2nd stage evolution. Generation 5 maybe? : o

[wraith89]

Then they'd have to do the same for Milotic too. Maybe they'd give them a completely different ability or something, I don't know. I just hope Gen V would become... eccentric themed. :p

Wow, speak of the devil. I just fished out a Feebas in Route 119. Gonna have to catch more of these until I find a Bold natured Female :D

[Umbreon]

Milotic was hard enough to evolve once, if they make a 2nd stage I'll give up :)

[bmtdan]

i never looked on d/p or platinum ive just kept breeding mine since ruby i got really lucky me and my buddy traded records the day befor eand he called me and told me where it was in his game since we were both looking an they were on the same tile :)

[wraith89]

i never looked on d/p or platinum ive just kept breeding mine since ruby i got really lucky me and my buddy traded records the day befor eand he called me and told me where it was in his game since we were both looking an they were on the same tile :)

Good strategy. Mixing records might help ease the solution if you have a buddy looking for it along with yourself.

[DanteKoriyu]

I just found my first wild Feebas ever two days ago in my Platinum, and it was my first time ever bothering to look for it in the 4th Generation too.

I just went down to the lake, made my Staraptor use Defog, and walked up to a spot on shore across from a rock. Tossed out my rod, and first caught nothing, 2nd try was Gyarados, and then the 3rd try was Feebas.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Guys, let's not hurt the ugly stepsister here. This discussion, if I remember correctly, is about the rarity of Feebas, not about how ugly she looks and all >_>

I'm honestly not trying to hurt the Pokémon you like, I just dislike Feebas a lot. But Milotic is cool.

[Okami]

I need to look for this lake now...I'm pretty sure I've been there but I'm so lazy...I don't even know where I put my DS...oops. I need that for next week! Now I know what I can do when I'm at my party...good stuff ;)

[wraith89]

You have NO idea how big that lake is. I've been trying to find Magikarp's ugly stepsister for a long time... but she's nowhere. Good luck with it... the tiles change every day too!

[empoleonmikel]

it seems that Pastoria is just a little bigger than that lake, hahaha!!!

[FLOOTENKERP]

Why would they make Feebas so rare in the game by the way?

[Greencat]

Well, I think it must be because there always have to be that one rare Pokemon is horribly hard to catch. :P

[Aarux]

Good question, Floot. Why did Nintendo make them so difficult to find?

Honestly, I can't come up with much. The Dex entry says that they're hard to find, but show up in hordes once you find where they are.
Maybe that?

[FLOOTENKERP]

That makes absolutely no sense since there is only one tile that changes per day. It can't come in groups.

[Aarux]

Eh, that's just what it says in the Diamond Dex.


While populous, they tend to cluster in set locations.

I was basing my guess on that.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Feebas aren't worth the hassle. Import it from Hoenn, much easier.

[Mewtwo Ex]

They probably made it so hard so that ''It hide's from people because of its looks''.

[pokemonfan]

Can someone give me directions to this lake?

[Mewtwo Ex]

In D/P/P it is in the path to Snowpoint City. Where the fog is.

[pokemonfan]

Thanks mewtwo ex! Now I'm going to go spend some time catching a feebass and hopefully be successful. It sounds like this ugly fish gives people lots of trouble.

[Mewtwo Ex]

It appears so. I did a little research a few years ago. I missed it in the pokedex to. An then i cought it in Emerald.

[empoleonmikel]

Nintendo made Feebas hard to "locate" maybe due to the fact that Milotic is considered by many to be the most beautiful pokemon. In fact, to evolve Feebas, you need you max it's beauty.

[pokemonfan]

Milotic is awesome! So huge and powerful, plus it is beautiful. Why it wouldn't be called the most beautiful is surprising. Feebas rare because its rare ok. I think though if anything it would be rare because of its evolution.

[Okami]

Now the question is, how do you correctly max the beauty stat in legitimate terms? I always tend to mess this up >.< Which always screwed up my Master Contests back in Hoenn when it came to the cool contest D:

[pokemonfan]

Give it all beauty poffins/pokeblocks, then you'll be able to max out the beauty and bam! one level up and you have a milotic. Plus, I think beauty contests help.

[Okami]

Hm, and it's the same way to catch one in Platinum, correct? Search every. single. tile. in that lake? Just want to make sure, seeing as I've already done three rows...
Oh, and will it be the first pokemon found on any given tile, or is it possible for a Barboach or Magikarp to pop up first? Because if that's the case, miss Okami here is screwed D:

[Aarux]

Karp or Boach can pop up before Feebas. Yup.

That's why I fish a couple times in each spot.

[Okami]

Ah, merci Aarux, even if that's not what I wanted to hear XD I just checked serebii to make sure...looks like in Plat I can use my good rod, so I'm all set. Now to just set the patience so as to capture one lol

[Mewtwo Ex]

Yes every single one. Try 4 times a spot to be sure.

[Aarux]

I think I'm gonna try and catch one in Plat... I want to see exactly how hard it'll be. Very hard, I'm guessing. More than that.

Good luck finding one, Okami.

[Okami]

According to Serebii for D/P Feebas' rarity is "Ultra Rare" as to Pt it says "Interact"
What the heck does that mean? Unless it's just the obvious, which means fishingfishingfishing.

And thanks, guys. I'll try four times (pulling in a catch) each spot and go from there! :D

[Mewtwo Ex]

As far as my memory serves interact might mean surfing.

[Okami]

I guess I should have placed that with my fishing. :]

[wraith89]

Ok seriously. Why can't I find Magikarp's Ugly Stepsister? I'm looking EVERYWHERE for her... and she's not popping out. Oh well. I have a shiny Milotic (Japanese event) and can breed it... or just Pal Park from RSE b/c Route 119 is generally smaller. :)

[Aarux]

The tiles reset everyday, right?

If it was almost midnight and you messed with the clock to make it earlier that day, would that work?
Or would it just mess up the whole thing?

[wraith89]

Every day at midnight. And I don't know, I haven't tried it yet.

[Mewtwo Ex]

It should reset if you edit your clock much like Pal Park.

[Okami]

I'm getting ticked off at the whole thing now. I've searched for hours with nothing to reward my efforts. I'm taking AR, my Diamond, getting a shiny hack, posting it on the GTS and getting myself a danged Milotic to breed D:<

[Mewtwo Ex]

Don't give up so easily. You will eventually find one.

[Okami]

Okami unfortunately does not have the time or patience...I've still got to get my Nat'lDex now that I think of it. Lazy, lazy wolfy I is. D:

[empoleonmikel]

i'm getting tired too :( i might resort to breeding with my shiny MILOTIC (Japan event) :(
Guys, does feebas really exists in that lake (in Platinum)? Maybe, there is another way to encounter one...

[Mewtwo Ex]

There are trainers that have it. And it is there.

[pokemonfan]

Yeah, but if you want the data on feebas you'll have to catch it. Plus in order to "officially" complete the national dex you have to have all the information on the pokemon. I dont know if you have to have all the data to be able to turn it in to the professor because I've never actually completed it. I've always hacked to get it complete and then its 100% complete anyway.

[Mewtwo Ex]

I completed it once fully legitimate. but now i use cheats. Today i used the ''Complete National PokeDex''. And Oak does not even give me a Upgrade for the Pokemon i already evolved. Keeps talking about the 3 birds. 144145146

[pokemonfan]

Did you catch the three legendary birds? If you didn't then I'd suggest that you should.

[Mewtwo Ex]

I have them do i have to catch them again?

[pokemonfan]

What does he say exactly?

[Mewtwo Ex]

''Oak: ARTICUNO, ZAPDOS and MOLTRES are extremely rare even in Kanto. There have been precious few sightings as it is. So why would they be spotted here in Sinnoh of all places?''

[pokemonfan]

Interesting...and you have your dex complete? What is supposed to happen after that. What does he do when you show him a complete national dex? Maybe you should go see the gamer developer on route 213 in one of the hotels.

[Mewtwo Ex]

That and maybe defeat 144145146 and then talk to him.

[KazoWAR]

i was lucky enough to have my feebas tile in emerald by the land. I was on route 119 fishing for carvahna for atk EVs and it came.

[Okami]

*stares blankly at a strand of her blue hair* ...Still no luck on this end. It's like a .98% chance in finding a Feebas in this lake. That's not even 1% of 100! *dies*

[Mewtwo Ex]

I think its only 1 or 2 spots in these games. I read somewhere some time ago that the pots are less than in R/S/E.

[Arandomproduction1]

Well if you have pokesav then just sav one :P if you don't just ask for one on serebii or friendcodes you can probably get one! Then just breed it for good ivs and nature!

[pokemonfan]

You could hack one, I hacked for a milotic and then bred for a feebas back when I still used my AR. However, now I wouldn't even dream of using my AR. :P I'm stuck with searching for a feebas just like everyone else. Hacking for it is easy though.

[Okami]

Actually, I was wrong in my calculations up there... it's .65% (there are 4 tiles of 612)

Like I mentioned earlier, I'll probably just take one of my legal shiny hacks, put it up on Diamond's GTS for Milotic, and trade over. And breed like CRAZY. Crap, that means I need a Ditto, too. Or just find a mommy and a daddy Milotic :]

[pokemonfan]

Ditto's are not as hard to get. I think there is a 22% chance of finding them with the pokeradar in the grass before canalave city in D/P but in Pt its in the trophy garden via talking to Mr. Backlot.

[Okami]

Another good question to bring up, I suppose, even though this could go in 5 other places...
How does one put the WC for the shiny milotic onto Plat? I've never given much thought to the event pokemon given here XD

[Mewtwo Ex]

I suppose this is what you mean.
You extract the files and place them in the mystery gift and wonder card sections.

[Okami]

Oh, I see D: Okami is a bit sleepy today.

Anyways, I am on the GTS now, looking for Milotics. We'll see how this goes! :]

[Mewtwo Ex]

Why not look for Feebas instead and you raise it to be a Milotic?

[Okami]

Because I want to breed it :] Besides, I'm sure most Feebas' on GTS would be the ones that never made it to the 180 Beauty point, duds.

[Mewtwo Ex]

That is of no importance. You have to make it's beauty higher than it's other stats and level up.

[pokemonfan]

Feebas has an egg group actually 2! Water 1 and dragon. Those are the egg groups they're in.

Here (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/water1.shtml) is a list of pokemon in water 1 egg group.

Here (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/dragon1.shtml) is a list of pokemon in the dragon egg group.

So feebas can breed, and people might be more likely to give feebas away then milotic.

[Mewtwo Ex]

Feebas learns a lot of good attacks unlike his ugly brother as Wraith puts it.

[pokemonfan]

Yes, feebas learns far better moves. since it can be tutored, is has egg moves, and it can learn HMs unlike its weaker counter part magikarp.

[empoleonmikel]

i just bred a Feebas from my shiny Japan Event MILOTIC, however, i do not feel any satisfaction after doing that.. :)

Locating and catching Feebas is a real challenge, and you know how you feel after overcoming a challenge, isn't it great? So, i'm wondering why some others resort to hacking, trading or migrating and get contented? Anyway, i respect their opinions, but for me, I will still try my best luck for that "fugly" muddy "carp! :)

Conclusively, hunting Feebas within the game is a real big challenge. :)

[Okami]

^ Yeah, but also remember that specific IVs and nature breeding takes a lot of patience to accomplish too :]

[pokemonfan]

Yes, breeding can be called a far more difficult way to pokesav. Sort of...if you look at it a certain way...

[empoleonmikel]

^ Yeah, but also remember that specific IVs and nature breeding takes a lot of patience to accomplish too :]

Yes, breeding can be called a far more difficult way to pokesav. Sort of...if you look at it a certain way...
I agree with both of you, but at least, in breeding, you are "seeing" results, unwanted or not, and just repeat the process until you get satisfied. And satisfaction will be totally dependent on yourself.

Unlike trying to locate & catch Feebas, it's like facing a "blank wall" :frown: It would be easier if catching Feebas requires surfing only, the tedious part there is that you have to surf & use fishing rod, throw it at least 5 to 6 times in each tile :mad:

[Okami]

WHOAMAGAH, guys! I hit one of the four tiles today! I was going through left and right and just about to finish my second row (2x each tile) and BAM! There was a male Feebas! I named him Lucifer, after the fallen angel, because he was hard to find, tricky to catch, and was a dang MALE after I had searched so hard to find a Feebas. I had forty GreatBalls on me, and in the end, I caught 20 Feebas. (It wasn't quite two balls per fish, but it looks that way :tongue: )

So if anyone would like a Feebas, just PM me and I'll see if I have any specifics for you! I am so happy now~ <3

[wraith89]

Lucifer.................................. -__-
I'd really like a Feebas, but I can't use Wifi ATM. I'll look for them myself.
Anyways, congratulations :D

[FLOOTENKERP]

Congrats on the
Feebas Okami. Yesterday I was lucky enough to hit one of the tiles. Sadly I had nothing on me at the moment to catch it. Didn't matter really since I have many bred ones.

[Okami]

Yes, Lucifer. I've also got Aphrodite, Eros, Psyche, Judas, Rahab, some characters from the movie, Sybil (like Mike and Sid, they're adorable! <3)... and a lot of others. I was in an odd Biblical/Greek Mythology/Movie mood this morning.

Merci, mon ami mes amis :]

[wraith89]

Merci, mon ami mes amis :]

O_O

LOL. I didn't give anything the name Lucifer because no one I have is as strong as he >.<
But I did give some stuff Norse Mythology names and Greek and Mesopotamian. My Male Scizor is named Enkidu >.>

[empoleonmikel]

@Okami:
Congrats. Now, i can throw away the thought that Feebas do not exist in that lake. And please ignore my PM (it's been in your inbox since half hour ago, lol), i'll just try my luck on finding one although i already have a bred Feebas from my shiny MILOTIC. :)

[FLOOTENKERP]

Breeding is much more easier, and you still get the same satisfaction of having a Feebas. But in other news, guess who caught a Feebas in the lake? Me!

[wraith89]

O_O
Congrats floot! Now I need to find one :mad:
Looking around the lake... but there's NOTHING here :(

[FLOOTENKERP]

Simply move back and forth between two tiles, if neither obtain a Feebas, move on to the next two.

[Aarux]

So, you don't need to fish to find one? I thought you did.

If all you need to do is surf... this'll be a lot easier.

[wraith89]

So, you don't need to fish to find one? I thought you did.

If all you need to do is surf... this'll be a lot easier.

Wait, are you sure? I thought you were supposed to fish them out!! :eek:

[Aarux]

Well... I thought Floot was saying that surfing works. Which I'm hoping that's what he's saying.

[Mewtwo Ex]

According to serebi you need to surf but if you ask me. In every game it has been fished. It makes no sense to have it surfed in one of 6 that have it.

[Okami]

The offer still stands if you want one, Mikel :] I've got more than enough now. Otherwise, these babies are going towards me trying to finish my last 10 needed pokemon in SinnohDex. (I still don't have Riolu? I guess I need to visit Iron Island again...never did get that blasted egg!)

And congrats to Floot as well! <3

Anyways, for those who haven't had the pleasure of catching one,
in Platinum all I did was take my Good Rod and place it in my selected item and surf and fish 2x each tile. Set about two to three hours or so to fish, going left to right (initially I was going up and down, it's smarter to do it the other way XD) And you should get lucky that way. And if that doesnt work, breed like crazy lol

[FLOOTENKERP]

I meant by fishing. Move between two tiles, when you can't find one in either of those tiles, move on to the next two. And thanks Okami.

[wraith89]

I'm still looking for my Magikarp's ugly stepsister. Do not disturb :-/

Would the Old Rod work?

[Okami]

Any fishing rod works in Plat, Wraith

They actually say old is your best bet

[Mewtwo Ex]

No only good and up. I could be wrong but i am 90% sure. ;)

Than again i used it in emerald, ruby and sapphire.

[Okami]

Now here's a question, now that I've actually got Feebas' to work with.
What level do the dry poffins need to be at to successfully get the beauty level enough to become a Milotic? Like, what's the lowest?

[FLOOTENKERP]

I used the Ultra Rod.

I'd say buying them from the store in platinum would be your best bet but high up because the better the quality the more beautiful that ugly fish gets and the more likely you'll have the "most beautiful pokemon ever." I usually by my poffins at the store since I cant get anyone to cook with me so my poffin levels are always low.

I didn't know you could buy Feebas. Anyways, it took me two hours to obtain this Feebas in that lake, so I say any other alternative way to obtain a Feebas would be much better. I don't get why they are so rare though.

PF wasn't saying buying a Feebas, Floot XD He was saying buy the poffins!

I thought about doing that, but they don't have purely Dry as far as I've seen...and I just want dry D: I might try to hook up with some friends to mix with me...growing some Oran berries right now! :)

^it would have the same effect even if it is not pure dry. actually, when it says "sour-dry poffin" both beauty & toughness will be enhanced. and those are high leveled poffins (level 32!), six to seven poffins are enough to max out "beauty". and don't forget to level up after maxing-out the beauty.

if you will really go for making your own poffins, make sure that you will not feed that Feebas with poffins below level 12. if the "sheen" have maxed-out, and you haven't achieved "max beauty", there'll be no way to max it in a legit way...

I really don't consider Febass to be all that rare. I mean sure the tiles change, but once you find a tile, it has a decent encounter rate so you can get more than your fill.

Munchlax on the other hand, excluding breeding a Snorlax, is a pain in the butt. He and Snorlax are the only two Pokemon not captured in my Sinnoh Dex for Platinum. Every other Pokemon has been captured in the wild, including gender differences at all available evolutionary levels... meaning I caught 2 Gibles in Turnback Cave and 4 Gabites in Victory Road to fill out their evolution family.

Even though I know my 4 Muchlax trees, the 1% encounter rate and only being able to check the trees a maximum of 4 times a day if you decided to get up ever 6 hours. Luck just isn't on my side.
