Talk:Milotic (Pokémon)

Korean name doesn't appear to be real. All Korean names are based on Japanese names not English ones. The one in this article is a transliteration of English name. So, I think it isn't real. Anyway, were is this from? - Maxim

A few years ago, while my Ruby was working okay, I encountered a Milotic at the Weather Institute's route (forgot what it was). Is it a glitch? After so many years, it's hard to remember. Oh, and it was on the grass...File:Ani475MS.gif Agent 448^{δ | DP} | ☆File:Ani282MS.gif 02:32, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Milotic is never found in the wild. TTEchidna 03:08, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

It definetely happened...the Ruby was fake! (No surprise in Singapore) Ph34r4ever^{Talk page♊} 02:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Origin

...The Loch Ness Monster? I don't know which is less likely: This or the fact that the Wikipedia article linked to claims that Lapras is based on Nessie. --FabuVinny ^T-C-S 19:26, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

It's less likely that Milotic's based off the Loch Ness monster. Milotic resembles more of a sea serpent than ol' Nessie (and Nessie is a dinosaur.) Someone has to reconsider about this information in Trivia. Wikipedia is linked to claims? Now THAT is insanity at its finest. BlueJirachi 01:10, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Ugly Duckling?

It seems to me that Feebas & Milotic are based on the story of the ugly duckling, starting out as something ugly, but turning into something beautiful. I was just wondering if anyone else felt that this should be added as well.--Pmddbzaotil 22:21, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I see what you mean, but there are plenty of things Pokémon can be compared to that aren't notable. Sorry, but I feel this is one of them. Now, if Feebas were based off a duck, I'd feel differently! --ニョロトノ666 22:27, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Er...

I know it seems weird to suggest that something like it would appear in a game that's aimed at all ages, but could Milotic's name have possibly been based on the word "erotic"? If so, should there be a mention of it? - Celebi96

No, it's not similar at all. Many words end with -tic (exotic, for instance) --Maxim 14:12, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

I know, I was just wondering since Milotic is said to be the "most beautiful" Pokemon. - Celebi96

Beauty =/= eroticism The Dark Fiddler - 10% Satisfaction Guaranteed! 14:32, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

I know that, too. I was only wondering if it were possible since the two concepts are related. - Celebi96

We get it. Topic closed. Never raise this up again. Θρtιmαtum_Talk 14:37, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Update needed?

On the List_of_Nintendo_event_Pokémon_in_2009 page, it lists that "This Pokémon was available in the United States from May 9 to June 13, 2009." from a Pokémon Event for Platinum. If this is true, shouldn't that be on its page? Silvermoonstar3 00:38, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Max Beauty

Are we certain Milotic's beauty *has* to be maxed out for it to evolve? My Milotic evolved when it had high beauty, but when I take it to Slateport's fanclub guy, he refuses to give me the Blue Scarf, which he gives you when your Pokemon has a high Beauty rating! So, if my Milotic has to have max Beauty, shouldn't it be high enough to earn the Scarf? Unless I'm missing something, it seems Milotic's Beauty just has to be *high*, not maxed out, to evolve. Drake Clawfang 00:44, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

This GameFAQs FAQ says 170/200 to evolve and 200/200 for the scarf. Serebii.net says max for Gen III, but Gen IV just has a blue Pokéblock image. So it is possible it changed between generations. Myles ^{(talk - contrib)} 01:09, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Hm, interesting. Well, if it's not needed Maxed in Gen 4, and apparently isn't in Gen 3 based on what I've seen, should we change the wording? Drake Clawfang 01:12, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, probably. To say 85%. Myles ^{(talk - contrib)} 01:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

HeartGold/SoulSilver Trivia

I'm always weary of adding trivia, but maybe we should add that this is a pokemon whose pre-evolution form is found in the HG/SS(Feebas, in the Quiet Cave Pokéwalker route) but is still only obtainable by trade(since there are no contests stats on HG/SS)?

I noticed it also happens with Magnezone and Probopass(both evolve in Mount Coronet only). -- Professional Mole (Talk here) 18:06, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

You can actually increase a Pokémon's Beauty stat (even though it's hidden) by getting them groomed by Daisy Oak, so you can get Milotic in HGSS. --AndyPKMN 18:17, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Platinum Gender Difference

In the article under "Trivia", it says that there are no visible gender differences in Platinum when it's not shiny. But, it still has long "hair" in Platinum. Can I change that? Pawsrent 02:00, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

No, because the difference it's talking about is "visible only in its shiny form in Platinum: female shiny Milotic have blue eyebrows while males have red ones."

New Evolution

The beginning of the page says that Milotic evolves from Feebas when traded with a Clean Scale. However, the 5.8 Evolution section only has the Beauty evolution. Any chance we could get a picture in there with the Clean Scale included? --Jdthebud 21:51, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Done. But we don't have a picture of the clean scale yet so I'm just gonna leave it at that.--KayKay|Chat to me! 22:08, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, we don't want to get rid of the gen I-IV table entirely. Maybe we could make a subsection for each table?--Cold (talk) 22:12, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

"Clean Scale"

Wouldn't it make more sense to call it the Pretty Scale? It is the "Kireina Uroko", right? Or is that a completely different item. --ケンジのガール 23:55, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I put the sprite as "Beauty Scale" seeing as it evolves when Beauty is maxed in Gen III/IV. —darklordtrom 05:18, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

That's even better :D --ケンジのガール 06:33, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Light screen

Milotic could not learn light screen as TM until gen V right?
