Feebas is a shabby, old-looking, fishlike Pokémon with a light brown body covered in dark, irregular spots. It has large, deep-set eyes and big, pink lips. The tail and pectoral fins are dull blue and tattered in appearance. The dorsal fin is triangular with a hole in the middle.
Feebas is famous for its shabby appearance and is considered the shabbiest Pokémon. Due to its poor appearance, it is largely ignored by predators, Trainers, and researchers alike. However, this hardy Pokémon is capable of eating anything and living anywhere. It is often found in oceans and weed-choked ponds, even if only a little water is available. While there are many of these Pokémon in existence, populations tend to cluster in small areas. Once found, its dull wits make it easy to capture. Feebas is a source of research due to its vitality despite it being unattractive and unpopular. There are even those who love to collect Feebas and only it, and reportedly are disappointed by its evolution into Milotic. In the anime, Prism Scales are revealed to form naturally on Feebas on occasion.
Feebas's fins are ragged and tattered from the start of its life. Because of its shoddy appearance, this Pokémon is largely ignored. It is capable of living in both the sea and in rivers.
While Feebas's body is in tatters, it has a hardy and tenacious life force that enables it to live anywhere. However, this Pokémon is also slow and dimwitted, making it an easy catch.

Feebas will not appear in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team until a rescue mission involving it has been completed, for example, using the following Wonder Mail code:
Feebas debuted in Whiscash and Ash, where it repeatedly bit Jessie's hair, much to her annoyance. It reappeared in a flashback in Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend, where Jessie learned that Feebas evolves into the beautiful Milotic.
Feebas, the Fish Pokémon. A Water type. Called the shabbiest Pokémon in the world, Feebas tend to school in large numbers at the bottom of rivers that are filled with aquatic plants.
In Not So Fetching Feebas, Ruby obtained a female Feebas after she took a liking to him while he was fishing at Route 119. After protecting him from a wild Zangoose and Seviper, Ruby was forced to keep her on his team, nicknaming her Feefee. She later evolved into a Milotic in It All Ends Now VII after Ruby had declared that she was beautiful despite her looks.
Feebas shares several notable similarities to Magikarp:
Its level-up moves are exactly the same as those of Magikarp.
However, Feebas can learn several moves from TMs and HMs, hatch from an Egg with Egg Moves, and learn new moves via Move Tutors, making it slightly more useful in battle.
Feebas shares its category name with Magikarp. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.
Feebas and Magikarp have almost identical stats. However, Feebas has a higher Attack and Special Defense, while Magikarp has a higher Special Attack and Defense. Both Attack and Defense stats for Feebas and Magikarp are reversed.
They share the largest base stat total increase of all Pokémon when they evolve: 340 (from 200 to 540).
They both change appearances drastically after evolution, evolving into serpentine, dragon-like Pokémon.
Feebas is the only Pokémon that requires a modification of its condition for it to evolve.
The probability of finding a water tile with Feebas on Route 119 is approximately 1/73, with six possible fishing spots on 436 water tiles. In Mt. Coronet, it is 1/132, with four possible fishing spots on 528 water tiles. If the player reels in one Pokémon in every tile, the chance of passing every Feebas tile without reeling in a single Feebas is 1/64 on Route 119, while in Mt. Coronet it is 1/16.
Feebas has the lowest maximum performance of any Pokémon, only capable of reaching 11 stars.
Feebas seems to be based on a bass, possibly the largemouth bass. It also resembles the marine hatchetfish. Its drastic transformation when evolving into Milotic may be inspired by the classic fairy tale The Ugly Duckling, where a small and feeble duckling is treated as an outcast by other animals until it eventually grows up to be a beautiful swan.
Name origin
Feebas may be a combination of feeble (weak) and bass. It also sounds similar to phoebus (Latin for shining one), possibly alluding to its evolved form.
Hinbass may be a combination of 貧 hin (poor) and bass.
