Hear every other name on the [Pokémon pronunciation guide](https://pokee.si/pronounce). ## Lore ### Biology Milotic is a cream-coloured sea serpent, 6.2 m long and 162 kg. Long, hair-like fins rise above its red eyes like eyebrows, and they are longer on a female than on a male. A straight spike sits on its head, and its lower body is covered in diamond-shaped scales of blue and pink with black outlines. The Pokédex says the scales look rainbow-coloured, changing with the viewing angle. ### Behaviour The Pokédex says Milotic shows itself from the depths when people quarrel, and that anyone who sees it is said to forget their urge to fight. It has also inspired many artists, though the Pokédex notes that Trainers who raised a Feebas are seemingly disappointed when it evolves. ### Habitat The Pokédex places it at the bottom of large lakes. In Scarlet and Violet it appears in the Teal Mask's Tera Raids and by evolving Feebas. ### Powers Milotic has Marvel Scale, which raises its Defense when it has a status condition, or Competitive, which sharply raises Special Attack when a stat is lowered; Cute Charm is hidden. It learns Hydro Pump, Twister, Recover and Coil, and Scald and Ice Beam by TM. With base Special Defense 125 and Special Attack 100 it is a bulky special attacker. ### Name origin Milotic may combine the Venus de Milo, a sculpture famous for its beauty, with 'aquatic', 'melodic' or 'exotic'. The Japanese name is Milokaross (ミロカロス), which may blend Venus de Milo with the Greek kallos, 'beauty'. ### Design inspiration Milotic appears modelled on a sea serpent and a mermaid, given its hair-like fins, paler top half and scaly bottom half. Bulbapedia also compares it to an oarfish, and says its feminine look and history in art may point to Venus, Rome's goddess of love and beauty. ### Evolution notes Milotic evolves from Feebas, and does not evolve further; see Feebas for the methods. ### In the games Milotic can only be obtained by evolving Feebas in Ruby and Sapphire, where it first appeared. It is one of the Illumina Pokémon in New Pokémon Snap, and Wallace has a Milotic as a sync partner in Pokémon Masters EX. In Legends: Z-A it comes by trade in the base game and by evolving Feebas in the Mega Dimension DLC. ### In the anime Juan's Milotic was his strongest and last Pokémon in his Sootopolis Gym battle against Ash, revealed in 'The Great Eight Fate!'. Wallace's Milotic appears through the Wallace Cup arc, from 'Our Cup Runneth Over!'. ### Fun facts - Bulbapedia says Milotic was the only Pokémon with Marvel Scale before Generation V, so it kept it to itself for two generations. - Prima's official strategy guide for Ruby and Sapphire mistakenly listed Milotic's Ability as Torrent. - Bulbapedia notes that Milotic is tied to Contests in the anime: every known male Top Coordinator has one as a signature Pokémon.
