Feebas Safari Johto Wet Zone

[Kamidango]

So I've been farming Feebas for some hours now... started with surfing only, never found one, only Totodiles (10+). So I decided to try to surf AND fish at the same time (somehow I can move while fishing, not sure if this is intended) and surprise surprise, I found a Feebas after maybe 30-45 minutes. Thing is, both the bot on the Discord server and the ingame tool that tells you which Pokemon you can get tell you that you can get Feebas by surfing.

So yeah, pretty sure it's half-bugged because you can't get Feebas from surfing, but only from fishing, and it's not advertised as such. Would like some light on this if possible...

 

Thank you

It's not bugged. You're just unlucky to encounter one. You can get feebas from both surf and fish in johto Safari.

I am highly sceptical that I would've got 11 Totodiles and no Feebas while they are the same rarity. If I check the mons present on the map and what the bot tells me on Discord, I can only find 2 rares; Totodile and Feebas, and that would mean that the coin flip failed to be in my favor 11 times, that would be around 1/2000 chances of it happening, hence why I'm highly sceptical...

This is a RNG based game and it's just your RNG. Feebas is a very rare Pokemon + every Pokémon in map changes chances for encountering a rare mon. You may feel like there is no feebas spawn. 

 

Shiny chance in game is 1/8k but you don't really encounter them after 8k encounters.

Guess the game just isn't for me, good MMOs have actual visible tangible progress to look up to, anti bad RNG. I see none of this in this "hunt", you're telling me I have to farm for 8h+ to find an actual Pokemon I like because it's popular, that's not my thing, this is just a thinly veiled Gacha game with extra steps.

Didn't really want to give money to GameFreak since they're not bringing the full Dex anymore, but at least it respects my time, guess I'll just install a Pokémon mod on Minecraft and chill or something

 

Thanks for replying to my question. Appreciated.

Just find a better place to farm ? Use repel trick ? If you're looking for a usable feebas it can take you days. A MMO is supposed to be more challenging no?

Can't since

1 - I just started playing, stuck at Johto Elite 4, since they have impossible stats,like Hitmontop outspeeds a Gengar 20 levels over (I checked on some Pokémon calculator and it was impossible for it to happen) and stuff like that, I figured I could use a Milotic since it's one of my favorite mons, I'm quite picky on the mons I want to use... so yeah it's the only spot I can go to

2 - I'm getting poor as heck since Safari entry is 5k for 30 min.

3 - I checked the bot on Discord and it's always a rare mon on all the maps it's on.

4 - Then I checked deeper on the forums and saw that some of the most popular mons have a 0.5% spawn rate, think the one I saw had a screenshot that showed he saw like 20 Snorlax in 4000+ encounters. This is where I decided that I wouldn't lose anymore time :s

 

I'm all in for challenging content, E4 doesn't bother me as much as this, because this isn't really challenging content to me, more like mind-numbingly boring and frustrating. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Guess that's just how it is and that's okay

Why don't you try to beat e4? Train your mons in victory road. Once you complete story you'll get access to all areas ( some requires ms and quest walkthrough ). You can hunt anything later then. BTW spawn are better then what they were in past.
