Pokemon Sword and Shield Feebas location

For being such a nondescript Pokemon, Feebas is quite hard to find. You can pick up this fishy friend on Route 2 in the water west of the Professor’s House, but the spawn chance is absolutely dreadful and you need the Rotom Bike upgrade that lets you cross water, so expect to spend some time there once you’re far enough into the game. If you have a friend who can breed one and help you out, consider asking them, or look online for trades.

Where to get a Prism Scale in Pokemon Sword and Shield

Once you’ve found Feebas, you can pick up the Prism Scale on the same body of water you were fishing from in between the two islands. It’s also been known to appear in the South Lake Miloch section of the Wild Area, but this is a random spawn over a definitive one.
