To evolve Feebas into Milotic in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, you must maximize its Beauty stat by feeding it Dry Poffins, and then level it up by one.
The Path to Milotic: Step-by-Step Evolution Guide
Evolving Feebas into the graceful Milotic is a unique process that hinges on its Beauty condition, rather than traditional leveling or evolutionary items alone.
1. Crafting Dry Poffins
The first and most critical step is to obtain and feed your Feebas Dry Poffins. Poffins are special treats that boost a Pokémon's Contest stats, and Dry Poffins are specifically designed to increase the Beauty stat.
-
Where to Make Poffins: You can create Poffins at the Poffin House located in Hearthome City.
-
Optimal Berries for Dry Poffins: To ensure you produce high-quality Dry Poffins that significantly elevate Feebas's Beauty stat, use berries known for their Dry flavor profile. The following berries are highly recommended:
- Charti Berry
- Chesto Berry
- Micle Berry
- Oran Berry
- Pamtre Berry
- Wiki Berry
Tip: When preparing Poffins, pay close attention to the stirring speed to prevent the mixture from burning or overflowing. A well-made Poffin will have a higher level and effectiveness, contributing more to your Feebas's Beauty stat.
2. Maximizing Feebas's Beauty Stat
Once you've made a sufficient supply of Dry Poffins, begin feeding them to your Feebas. As you feed them, you'll observe its Beauty stat steadily increasing.
- Monitoring Progress: You can check Feebas's progress by viewing its summary screen and navigating to the Contest Stats section. The Beauty stat meter should gradually fill up.
- Full Beauty Bar: Continue feeding Feebas Dry Poffins until its Beauty stat is completely maxed out. This full Beauty stat is an essential pre-condition for its evolution.
3. Leveling Up Feebas
After Feebas's Beauty stat has reached its absolute maximum, the final action required is to simply level it up by one.
- Battle Participation: Engage in a Pokémon battle with Feebas in your party, allowing it to gain experience points and level up naturally.
- Using a Rare Candy: For a quick and efficient method, you can use a Rare Candy on Feebas. This item instantly raises a Pokémon's level by one.
Once Feebas levels up with its Beauty stat maximized, it will beautifully evolve into Milotic.
