Pokemon Legends: ZA player laments Shiny Feebas

A Pokemon trainer going by CassowaryCrow on Reddit shared his moment of regret when he gave away his Shiny Feebas. Pokemon Legends: ZA For NPCs. This was not done out of necessity as the NPC only asked for a regular feebas. However, CassowaryCrow had a plan: they wanted to trade the NPCs shiny so that while they were in the area, they would have a chance to see their shiny Phibass in the overworld, hanging out with their new trainer. The NPC, Soucian, graciously accepted the Phibas and even admitted that it was shiny. However, when the players returned to the scene, their feebas were nowhere to be seen. They talk to Sosian, who reveals that he brought the Pokémon back into the wild with the intention of allowing Phoebas to befriend the local Magicorps.

Those who responded to the post were largely shocked at the situation, with many making jokes about calling Officer Jenny to report the situation. Others have discussed whether it's actually a terrible idea to release a wild animal into an existing ecosystem, as Soucian concludes. Players have also noted that spawning ends when Phibas finally gives one over, but unfortunately, Cassowaricro's Shiny won't be able to return even then. Some have said that the NPC wondered why there was no feebas in the water, indicating that he would leave it after receiving it. However, she doesn't make this clear beforehand, gets angry if she rejects Phoebas, and clearly asks “Phoebas is my own”, so it's reasonable to think that she wants to keep Phoebas, not release it.

What's the point of handing over febas anyway?

While losing a shiny isn't something anyone wants to go through, there's good reason to give a trainer a non-shiny feebas. The request is a side quest in Wild Zone 2 called Feebas's New Friends. For causing more Phibas to eventually spawn in the water, she also rewards the player with ₽1,600 and a prism scale. Prism Scales can be given to Phibas before training another player, which will trigger it to evolve into Milotic. Players who don't have more than one Phibas will have to get another to use the Prism Scale, but it's not a bad way to get an item and work towards Milotic.

The story finally has a happy ending when Kasowaricro laments his decision to give his Shiny Phoebas to Sosian. The player noted in the comments that they ended up loading a back-up save because they were too upset by what just happened. As a result, their shiny feet are back, but not all Pokemon The players are very lucky. Another trainer in the comments mentioned that they gave the NPC a shiny Alpha Phibas, which already had Prism Scale equipped. Since the Pokemon is given away and not traded, it does not evolve, and is still thrown into the water by the NPC, never to be seen again.
