Secrets to Finding Feebas

After a year of no uploads I present to you my latest project! A video analysing the bugs surrounding feebas, how to fix them and releasing a tool to find Feebas! Dive into this video to learn more about it!

Funny that you mention the bridge acting weird, because in the ORAS remake during the day you can always fish for feebas under the bridge for a 100% encounter rate.

[@BlazingKhioneus]

You can what

[@brandonsechrest1908]

I had no idea

[@absentcorner5715]

And at night there's a spot north of the giant rock at the southern part of the river that has the same properties. I knew of the former, but just discovered the latter yesterday while my buddy was chain fishing lol

[@zegroselia2504]

@@absentcorner5715 yes, i did some chain fishing for shiny feebas so i could put them in the GTS to get some rarer entries for my dex.

[@enoyna1001]

I kept checking Bulbapedia over the years and figured someone would find out all of this way sooner and build a calculator to find Feebas.

[@Mario4736]

But there's already a tool, just search on Google: "Feebas Tile Calculator".

[@Chloe-st7ni]

hell yeah new Goppier video, also even as a computer science student, looking at the code and then coming up with the best way to find Feebas is still incredibly impressive

[@internetpeasent1374]

Man, "Less PC" was so 7 minutes ago, Potion Festivals are where it's at

[@theaveragesquire]

mine was "Action RPG"

[@unpayedovertime626]

One of mines were "Adult Toys". I'm not making this up.

[@RelicCipher]

that was old news, FAST DESIGN is what's in now!

[@josefujosta]

Big Movie supremacy 🔥🔥🔥

[@Bellicosy]

Nice work! Provided that this gets seen, you will prevent many future headaches. Having said that, this will just encourage people to acquire a Milotic, not knowing the pokéblock headache that awaits them...

[@Mario4736]

The video is very interesting, but for faster time it's better to use the feebas tile calculator online tool

[@MortisMedia]

What a legend, im so tempted to go find my old Ruby to give this a try!

[@Goppier]

Give it a shot and let me know if it worked!!

[@Alchemistake]

getting SID without hacking is so cool and has it's uses.

[@trashboat4731]

Honestly i will never understand why gamefreak would make this so confusing, especially for a kid back in 2003, like how were we supposed to know this stuff?

[@kevincarreno8471]

In Japan guides were popular and they expect people would leak it to the classrooms and nascent internet

[@oniondesu9633]

it's really only confusing if you try to calculate where every spot is by hand like this guy did, but you dont have to do that? the actual experience of looking for feebas is extremely simple to understand, keep looking on different tiles until you find it

[@MetalKing1417]

@@oniondesu9633 But it still takes hours on a stupidly tedious task.

[@AllInOne1110]

All the more rewarding once you find it ​@@MetalKing1417

[@joemck85]

Remember, the trendy phrase is also synced with other games if you use the Record Corner -- both games will get whichever phrase was trendier between the two. Meaning if you mix records with your friends as the devs intended, if one person in your friend group finds the danged fish, they can tell everyone else where it is. Or, more realistically, they can forget what tile they found it on, breed it and try to sell you an egg.

[@Porygonal64]

14:29 ah yes, my favorite childhood game Pokemon Ruhire version

[@Goppier]

Truly the best game to have existed

[@timr.2257]

See you in the next video in another year...

[@vlc-cosplayer]

COLOSSAL W for including the song names in the video! You have no idea how frustrating it is when someone puts a banger in their video, but doesn't include a tracklist, and keeps yapping over it ;-;

[@GarchompDude35]

That whole games soundtrack is most 🔥

[@rickjohnson6358]

I hope you know how much I look forward to your uploads. Found this channel after your gen2 to gen3 trade and have been following closely ever since! Thank you for the content :)

[@valemontgomery9401]

It would be so cool to make a community patch with fixes like this

[@Goppier]

I'll make a github page with ips patches. I made a fix for Emerald already and will do Ruby and Sapphire soon as well and upload it!

[@jamst5913]

I once had the absolute legendary luck of fishing in every spot TWICE to rule out false negatives and STILL didn't find one. It's on the pile of reasons I just plain don't go back to replay RSE and Gen 3 in general anymore

[@ItsMrBozToYou]

That 50% encounter rate is brutal. It's more like "fish 3+ times" instead of 1.

[@CaptainBen10]

[@skullyinc.]

I'm playing my first playthrough of emerald this video was perfect Timing, lol.

[@Carns.]

This is really interesting because you can even use this tool to narrow down your secret ID in Emerald, where I believe before you either had to have a shiny already, or use soft reset tools/timers until you essentially brute force a shiny. Cool stuff! Look forward to your next video, as always :)

[@melbagipit1645]

Can't believe i completed the shiny rng emerald pokedex before this tool was created. Feebas dedinetly took me a month of research and trial and error, and this lad created an app to not need to go trough that again, what a legend.

[@1Shayz1]

I think you should incorporate the term "trendy" into the title of this video lol Like "Is Febas secretly the most trendy Pokemon?" Love your videos

[@darkfeeels]

Wow this is an excellent video!

[@asdfasgdfgsd107]

I love your content. Due to my microprocessors class, I had to learn assembly and very VERY minimal c. As in like 1 week for C. I find the pokemon games, the earliest ones, being fun to toy with the code. I love the content and I always look forward to your content. Rby content might be cool too

[@Stratelier]

I recently booted up my old Platinum save file and (among other things) went fishing for Feebas. I got lucky and caught a pair after just one hour (methodically searching the lake from the bottom and landing a Feebas during the 2nd row up). At least in Gen III you could spread your search out across multiple days....

[@RobinBaggett]

Absolutely legendary! This tool is going to be so helpful when I decide to shiny hunt feebas in Sapphire!

[@charlesswansonii9319]

It's things like this that make me wonder, would it have just been easier for Emerald hackers to backport the Feebas behavior from OR/AS to Emerald?

[@jakethreesixty]

For me it was around the south sea under Sootopolis, it majorly confused me when I tried to find it later 😐

[@dragonmaster1500]

0:05 and also the basement of Mt Coronet in Diamond Pearl and Platinum where it has the exact same spawning behavior, except it only appears on 4 tiles in the underground lake instead of 6.

[@TBANinjaAbe]

see this would be super helpful if i hadn't found feebas earlier this year for my living dex

[@tonykrap1202]

The crazy timing of this release. I was literally about to start hunting for Feebas in my Emerald file I started recently. You just saved me so much time, thank you so much!! 😃

[@Moonsong227]

The man the myth the legend returns

[@CallMeFreakFujiko]

When I had Ruby version I by pure chance found a Feebas at the earliest route I could, went "ew" and ran away from it. I found out how rare it was and was so fucking mad at myself for running. I still kind of am, even though I've gotten Feebas since. Now whenever I go "ew" I remember that one time that I ran away from something that evolves into a really cool Pokemon and I'll catch it just in case.

[@numberoneappgames]

You deliver 💪😊

[@Alchemistake]

i was about to sleep. I don't think so anymore

[@LetsPlayKeldeo]

Hell yeah another one of your videos ^-^

[@superkonijn988]

Doing godswork!

[@cheddar500]

I never did find Feebas as a kid. Maybe it's time to go fix that

[@dratinithedagon7508]

Great video, but does the tool only work with a new game and removed battery?

[@Goppier]

Unfortunately it does, it is borderline impossible to know what the value is with a working rtc. Only way then is save file extraction and looking at the value directly. The battery doesn't need to be removed, it just needs to be not working if that makes sense!

[@BoltTheEmolga]

@@GoppierDoes it still work if you’re able to make it to the lottery number in the same day you start the game, and search for Feebas that same day?

[@Goppier]

For Emerald that should still work! For Ruby and Sapphire, we would need to figure out what starting seed is used. This should also be possible, but not with the current tool. Maybe an idea for a future update!

[@gavinarcher875]

The spooky part about this is that i just caught my first feebas. Had the game since it came out, actually started playing seriously, and i try this terrible pokemon hunt two days before a method is finally found. Ain't that just the way

[@popyfx2599]

Finally he uploaded one

[@frogjmon]

A fun video (perhaps a series) idea for you, patching bugs in the old pokemon games. Especially RBY has so many well documented bugs it would be interesting to see if it is possible to patch the game into working as originally intended.

[@Goppier]

There are indeed many bugs in the older games and would be fun to cover them in the future! Currently working on a github page that has the fixes I made so far!

[@fruit3193]

6:38 Something really interesting about the potential glitch that makes Feebas spawn in every tile under the bridge. In ORAS, if you fish under the bridge during the day, you’ll always reel in Feebas. I wonder if GF knew about that behavior in RSE (whether it was deliberately programmed or not).

[@bmarques333]

Great sleuthing work on one of the trickiest parts of the whole series! One thing about your tool, however: the README says to install tk and ttkwidgets, but don't you use Pillow as well for the image rendering? (also my pip8-compliant soul weeps at the camelCase files and functions, but that's just nitpicking)

[@Goppier]

Youre right! But with recent clean installs I did for testing, it seems that Pillow was also installed with it? I didn't need to download it using pip at least. Maybe in the future I'll change the names of things to be more python standard hahaha

[@TheDetectiveJ]

This video was so long, I found a feebas before it finished.

[@popyfx2599]
