Trivia

 * Feebas shares several notable similarities to :
 * Though its level-up moves are exactly the same as those of Magikarp, Feebas can learn 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 name with Magikarp. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.
 * Feebas and Magikarp have almost identical stats. However, Feebas has a higher and, while Magikarp has a higher  and . 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.
 * Since condition stats are a hidden mechanic in games in which Pokémon Contests are absent, a Feebas that has enough points will still evolve when it is leveled up. The Prism Scale, introduced in Generation V, was created due to the fact that there is no legitimate way to raise a Feebas's Beauty in the Generation V games, whereas with FireRed and LeafGreen, undefineds could trade Feebas to Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald, and a haircut or grooming by Daisy Oak or the haircut brothers affects Beauty in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
 * This also makes Feebas the only Pokémon that can evolve into a single stage through multiple methods in the core series.
 * The probability of finding a water tile with Feebas on 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.
