How The Hardest To Catch Pokemon Drove Me Mad | A Pokemon Emerald Story

Back when we were kids, one of the most hyped up and talked about Pokemon things was the entire process of catching Feebas and Milotic. Nowadays those two pokemon are relatively easy to catch, but I wanted to see both how hard the catch originally was and if it lived up to the hype. Pokemon challenges and challenge runs aren't usually my thing but sillier, nostalgia driven ones sometimes get me. What started out as a simple question descended into an angry and regretful spiral.

[@ludicolo15]

Legends say you find a shiny carvanha before the feebas, and that happened to me

[@droomish1]

and you're so real for that

[@GR-ic7mt]

I found a tentacool like weeks before seeing a feebas

[@SNAPKICK4114]

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.

Congrats on the shiny! Not what you wanted and I don't think anyone talks about Carvahna, but still a shiny.

[@MRzRosalie]

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.

[@dannymurray1854]

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

[@percsie3072]

[@JennaJayfeather]

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.

[@Anticonformty11]

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.

[@droomish1]

[@AlyssaJ14]

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.

[@SevenIsaCannibal7]

I don't recall how breeding worked back then, but could you have bred it with a ditto or something else to get a better nature with an everstone?

[@matthewcurry3565]

​@@SevenIsaCannibal7took the words from my mouth. I also think you can ditto it but it has been awhile.

[@sirensoulegaming4158]

​​@@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).

[@headachesandhairdye]

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.

[@sailor8ae]

I attempted this for the first time a few years ago. All the playground/internet horror stories I had heard up to that point didn’t make me feel quite determined as a kid, but as an adult I was up for the challenge. Within an hour or so I got through about half of the river before finally finding a Feebas square (short amount of time imo)! I kept fishing up Feebas until landing the ugliest, most perfect modest natured female fishy. I REALLY enjoyed that playthrough in particular because of having this stinky fish turned beautiful water creature in my team🥰

[@jtalkalot19]

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.

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.

It was excruciatingly annoying to evolve her, but she was worth the trouble in the end. Great video!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Similar trials of feebas in gen four, found a shiny whiscash before my first feebas over the course of 6 days of searching

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.
