The '''Prism Scale''' (Japanese: '''きれいなウロコ''' ''Beautiful Scale'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It allows {{p|Feebas}} to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Milotic}}.

===Effect===
====Held item====
Causes {{p|Feebas}} to evolve into {{p|Milotic}} when [[trade]]d while holding it. This consumes the Prism Scale.

This item was introduced in [[Generation V]] due to the lack of a means to increase [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty]] in these games. However, even in games in which the Prism Scale exists, a Feebas can still evolve if leveled up while its Beauty is high enough.

==In spin-off games==
===Detective Pikachu===
A Prism Scale appears during Chapter 4 of {{ga|Detective Pikachu}}, being worn by [[Milo Green]] on his headband. He mentions that he obtained the scale when he was once saved from drowning by a Pokémon, which is later revealed to have been a Milotic. The presence of this Prism Scale also acts as the trigger to the evolution of a Feebas that Milo has befriended.

==In the anime==
[[File:Prism Scale anime.png|thumb|250px|A Prism Scale in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
A Prism Scale appeared in ''[[JN031|The Cuteness Quotient!]]'', where it was attached to {{OBP|Nami|JN031}}'s {{p|Feebas}}. During an attack by {{TRT}}, the Prism Scale fell off, but Nami reattached it to Feebas, causing it to evolve into {{p|Milotic}}.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Prism Scale was incorrectly categorized in the [[Bag]] as a general item rather than a held item. This was corrected in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, but was undone in {{pkmn|X and Y}}, causing it to be sorted with [[valuable item]]s rather than [[evolution item]]s in [[Generation]]s {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}}.
