Feebas 100% perfect IV stats, shiny Milotic preview in Pokémon Go

This week’s Spotlight Hour is dedicated to the Fish Pokémon, specifically focusing on the notoriously unattractive Feebas. This event presents a fantastic opportunity for trainers to catch a perfect Feebas in Pokémon Go.

Feebas may seem like an odd choice for a December Spotlight Hour, as it lacks any festive themes and isn’t an Ice-type Pokémon. Moreover, it’s not particularly strong in Pokémon Go. However, the event comes with a notable bonus: double catch candy. Since it requires 100 Feebas Candy to evolve into Milotic, this Spotlight Hour is an excellent chance to accumulate candy quickly.

If you’re not interested in Feebas, the double catch candy bonus applies to all Pokémon, including those from Research tasks and Raid bosses.

Feebas 100% Perfect IV Stats

This week’s Spotlight Hour is an ideal time to catch a Feebas with perfect IV stats. In Pokémon Go, “perfect” refers to two aspects, depending on how you want to utilize a Pokémon. The ultimate goal is to find a 100% IV version, which has the stat distribution of 15/15/15, making it perfect for raids and competitive play in the Master League.

While you cannot see a Pokémon’s IVs before catching it, you can identify potential perfect Feebas by their CP value. If you are at Level 30 or higher, you should look for the following CPs for a perfect 15/15/15 Feebas:

• Level 30 (wild CP maximum) – 235 CP
• Level 35 (weather-boosted wild CP maximum) – 255 CP

These values correspond to the wild CP cap based on your Trainer Level. Thus, if you’re below Level 30, your values will differ.

Shiny Feebas and Milotic Preview

Yes, shiny Feebas was introduced in January 2019 during a Limited Research event. This shiny variant features a distinct color scheme, swapping its blue and yellow for a steel and purple aesthetic. While Feebas may not be a top-tier Pokémon, its shiny form is certainly appealing.

Shiny Milotic, the evolution of Feebas, showcases even more impressive changes. The “hair” transitions from pink to lilac, and its eye color shifts from dark red to dark blue. Notably, the tail changes from sky blue to gold, giving Shiny Milotic a beautiful, elegant appearance reminiscent of a Chinese beauty snake.

Tips for the Spotlight Hour

Participating in this week’s Spotlight Hour offers several benefits beyond the chance to catch a shiny Feebas:

• The primary advantage is the double catch candy bonus, allowing you to gather Candy twice as fast. Each Feebas caught can yield up to 13 Candy when using a Pinap/Silver Berry with a Mega-Evolved Pokémon of the same type.
• This bonus also extends to Research rewards, allowing you to save Pokémon caught during tasks for future candy accumulation.
• Newcomers will find this Spotlight Hour an excellent opportunity to collect enough Feebas Candy to fully evolve their Pokémon and complete their Pokédex.
• As Feebas is a Water-type, catching multiple during this event will contribute to your respective catch bonus medal.

Spotlight Hour events last for only one hour, from 6 PM to 7 PM (local time). Good luck in your quest to find a perfect Feebas!
