Although it’s now available with the drop of the Mega Dimension DLC, finding Feebas in Pokemon Legends: Z-A to evolve into Milotic can only be done through one guaranteed route. Locating the Fish Pokemon comes down to making use of other mechanics introduced in the expansion, similar to how to find a Mudkip to evolve into a Swampert, along with plenty of other Pocket Monsters in the Hyperspace Pokedex.
Be that as it may, this beige fish can be quite the rare spawn, and the way to get it to evolve into Milotic requires a few tricky steps that not all players of the game are aware of. Thankfully, this easy-to-follow Feebas location and evolution guide will teach you all you and all other Mega Dimension DLC players what they need to know about getting a Milotic in Pokemon Legends: Z-A.
How To Get Feebas
In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, with the Mega Dimension DLC installed, the only way to get Feebas is by locating it within a spawned two-star Water-type Hyper Space Wild Zone on the game’s Lumiose City map.
Just like with the Hoenn starters, such as Treecko, Hyper Space Wild Zones of this level unlock specifically after completing ‘Hyperspace Mission 08: Hyperspace Lumiose Survey No.4’, which is around five-to-seven hours in the Mega Dimension DLC’s story.
Once you complete this, the two-star Hyperspace Wild Zones will start spawning in Lumiose City, popping in randomly each new day and night cycle.

Finding Feebas’s Wild Zone
Because of the particular Pokemon spawning in these Wild Zones being random, you don’t get a Feebas everytime — especially with it being more of a rare spawn compared to some Pokemon in Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension expansion.
The best way to spawn a Feebas as fast as possible in Legends: Z-A is continuously resting at a bench to cycle to the next day or night (with the ‘Kill some time here’ option) to re-roll the Hyperspace Wild Zone spawns, checking or map, then cycling again until you find one.
If you’re jumping between missions while hunting for your Feebas, the best spot to re-roll Hyperspace spawns is by using the bench near the Nouveau Cafe fast travel point by the center of the map (where Grisham is); the benches are right nearby in the grassy section, so it eliminates the need to wonder around Lumiose City until you find one.
As you check the map, look out for the Water-type logo on a two-star Hyperspace Wild Zone, and for Feebas’s particular silhouette with a triangular fin poking out the top of its body, with the shape of its right fin and the end of its tail being visible.
When re-rolling for Feebas specifically, it took us eight day and night cycles using the bench all together to have a Hyperspace Wild Zone containing it spawn, alongside other water Pokemon: Magikarp and Panpour, although the other Pokemon that spawn may be different for you.
Although the Hyperspace Dimension areas that Feebas spawn in appear to be of the ‘Small size’ (an area of which you can cover the whole ground in about 30 seconds), you’ll only need Hoopla to eat a donut worth a couple of minutes of survey time at minimum to safely catch one.
However, if you’re the type who likes to compare IVs and EVs, to raise competitive Pokemon, it’s good to have some extra time to catch a handful.
How To Catch Feebas
Once you find Feebas in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, catching is rather straightforward since it’s still weak pure Water-type with a high catch rate; you can hit it with a quick super-effectice Electric- or Grass-type attack to be thorough, but we managed to catch a few Feebas just throwing Ultra Balls while they were on full health.
Still, not every catch attempt will be a success, but out of the dozen or so Feebas’s that appear in these Hyperspace Wild Zones, you’ll be able to catch at least six within the course of a two-minute survey.
Be sure to catch at least two Feebas, since you’ll need a spare to get a Prism Scale later on if you don’t have one already.
How To Get Milotic
Once you have caught your Feebas within the Mega Dimension DLC, the only way to get it to evolve into a Milotic in Pokemon Legends: Z-A is by trading Feebas while it’s holding a Prism Scale.
This is the same modern evolution method for Feebas that’s appeared in the other Nintendo Switch Pokemon games, like Scarlet & Violet and Sword & Shield — which is easier compared to the older method of maximizing its ‘Beauty’ stat with Poke Blocks (the Pokemon Contest mechanic from Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire and their remakes).
Prism Scale Location
You can get Prism Scales as a rare item drop from Gold Poke Balls in Mega Dimension’s Hyperspace Lumiose, but the only guaranteed way to get one and quickly evolve your Feebas into Milotic in Legends: Z-A is by completing Side Mission 160: Feebas’s New Friends — located in the diagonal, rectangular pond in the Vert Distric between Cafe Woof and Vert Plaza (Wild Zone 2).
Talk to the NPC, Soucian, with a Houndor to her left and facing the Magikarp in the water, to start Side Mission 160. To complete it, you just need to give her a Feebas of her own. Even if you give her your worst Feebas with terrible IVs, she’ll be happy no matter what.
As soon as you give Soucian a Feebas, the side mission will complete and you’ll get a Prism Scale along with 1,600 Poke Dollars for your efforts.
How To Trade Feebas For Milotic Evolution
When you have a Prism Scale for Feebas to hold in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, you’ll only be able to evolve it into Milotic by trading it to another player via Link Trade in the game’s Link Play menu.
The simplest way to do this quickly is by trading with a friend nearby or arranging a trade via the internet, since you can coordinate to trade eachother’s Prism Scale-holding Feebas’s to each evolve into a Milotic to keep, or trade back if you both wanted to keep the one you caught personally.
However, if you don’t have a friend who’s playing Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC, organising a Feebas-Milotic evolution trade can be very tricky, as most players are trading for all manner of Pokemon: making the odds of finding someone at random who just happens to have their own Feebas to trade almost impossible.
In the event you are short of a friend who has a Feebas holding a Prism Scale of their own to trade, it’s best to engage with local player communities to find a fellow Trainer who is looking for such a trade, and arrange a swap by confirming a Link Code to use as a password.
On Reddit, for example, the r/LegendsZA subreddit is an active group with over half a million members, making it very easy to set up a trade by creating a post asking if anyone wants to trade Feebas’s to get a Milotic. We found that after putting up such a post, it took around ten minutes to get a trade set up. Although, the time may vary depending on your region, the time of day, and if the number of active Trainers playing the game drop off overtime.
The only very important thing to be sure of is that, when you both offer your Feebas’s to trade, press the ‘R’ button to ‘Check Their Pokemon’ first to confirm the other Trainer’s is holding a Prism Scale as they promised.
If you don’t confirm this, and it turns out they haven’t attached the Prism Scale, the Feebas you received from them won’t evolve, and you’ll have just sent yours away effectively for free — requiring you to track down another Prism Scale through Gold Poke Ball loot drops in Hyperspace.
When your Prism Scale-holding Feebas comes through successfully, you’ll get an alert saying that it’s about to evolve.
Finally, your Feebas will evolve and you’ll have a Milotic in Pokemon Legends: Z-A to add to your team to use during the rest of the Mega Dimension DLC’s story.
If you wanted to trade Milotics back, so you can keep yours, be sure to arrange this with the other Trainer beforehand; otherwise, they’ll immediately log off post-Trade and you’ll have to reach out to them again if you can.
