Research Notes - Feebas
Regalecus puris
Milotic are often seen as parallels to Gyarados; both are aquatic, serpentine Pokémon that evolve from much weaker pre-evolutions. While Gyarados represent atrocity and brutality, Milotic embody grace and beauty. While both are ray-finned fish, Gyarados is actually more closely related to Seaking or Whiscash than Milotic. Feebas are notorious for being difficult to find despite being both weak and abundant; this in turn makes Milotic even rarer catches. When a Feebas hotspot is found, fishermen and trainers will flock to it; eventually, the located school of Feebas will flee to another spot, forcing people to go searching once again.
Diet |
Feebas feed on algae and aquatic plants that grow near muddy lake bottoms. Milotic, despite their large size, feed peacefully on plankton and plants, though they must eat a lot in order to sustain themselves.

Care |
Feebas are extraordinarily easy to care for. Much like Magikarp, they can survive in practically any aquatic environment, freshwater or saltwater. Milotic are more difficult to raise, however. They require very large bodies of water to thrive, though they similarly do not have a preference for salinity. They prefer clean water, however, unlike their pre-evolutions, and do not fare well in polluted lakes.

Caution |
Neither of these Pokémon pose a threat to humans. Weak Feebas are unable to even defend themselves when attacked, let alone provoke others. Milotic also embody the very opposite of conflict; their auras soothe aggression, so it is unlikely that fights will break out when around these Pokémon. Trainers lucky enough to spot Milotic in the wild should be thankful for the opportunity to spot such a beautiful Pokémon in its natural habitat.
