Getting the Prism Scale important for getting Milotic in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. Thanks to The Teal Mask DLC, you can now get Milotic as part of your party but first you need to find some Prism Scale which can be a bit challenging to look for. This guide will help you get Prism Scale and show you how to get Milotic in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.
Where to Find Prism Scale in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
You can get a Prism Scale early by going to east side of Fellhorn Gorge (as seen on the map below) and picking it up as a dropped item. You’ll also get a Prism Scale as a reward upon completing the Kitakami Pokédex.
The Prism Scale is important into getting Milotic. While there are other methods, using the Prism Scale is the fastest way to get the Pokémon you’re looking for. After finding a Prism Scale, you’ll have to do a few things first before getting a Milotic.
How to Get a Milotic in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
Evolving Feebas is the only way to get Milotic. Give your Prism Scale to a Feebas and then trade it with another trainer which will evolve it to a Milotic and back again. Your other option is to raise your Feebas’ beauty level and then level it up to evolve it to a Milotic.
The Prism Scale option requires you have another player to trade with. This can be done on Union Circle or the PokéPortal. If you opted to raise Feebas’ beauty level to evolve it into a Milotic instead of using the Prism Scale, you have to feed it Dry Poffins. A lot of Dry Poffins. Once its beauty level is high enough, you will get a Milotic.
For either options, you need to get a Feebas Pokémon which spawn inside the Oni Mountain Cave near the corner of Crystal Pool located in the center of the Kitakami region. Unlike the other water Pokémon, Feebas is hiding underwater so watch out for bubbles so you know it’s there. To get Feebas, you’ll need access to The Teal Mask DLC otherwise you can’t get in the Kitakami region.
Feebas can remind you a bit of Magikarp at a glance. This Pokémon looks ugly at a glance but will evolve into an impressive and beautiful looking Milotic if you’re willing to invest time in it.
Trading Feebas in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
Trading Feebas requires a Nintendo Online Membership subscription which can cost money. You’ll also have to find another player who owns Pokémon Scarlet & Violet to trade Feebas with. Once the Feebas holding the Prism Scale evolves, trade it back. Be sure to do this trade with someone you trust.
Is There A Way to Farm Prism Scales in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
You can farm Prism Scales by picking them up from Fellhorn Gorge as dropped items. Prism Scales also arrive as potential rewards from the Ogre Oustin Minigame if you achieve a high score.
While you get a Prism Scale as a reward for completing the Kitakami Pokédex, you can’t really farm for it this way. Since not only do you have to catch all 140 Pokémon, you can also only get it once.
