The first step to evolving Feebas is knowing where to get one. Feebas, much like other Water-type Pokemon can be found in places with water. Places like docks, beaches, rivers, canals, and even parks with water features have an increased chance to spawn Water-type Pokemon in Pokemon GO.

After players catch Feebas, the next step is obtaining 100 Feebas candies. The best way to do this is to use an incense in combination with a lure if the chosen location is a PokeStop to maximize the spawn rate of nearby Pokemon, thereby maximizing the chance to catch a Feebas. As a tip, it may be necessary to catch some of the other Pokemon that spawn so there will be more room around the area for Feebas to spawn in. When attempting to catch a Feebas, it is important to know that it has a capture rate of 70%, and while this is a very high chance, it is not a guaranteed catch. Pokemon GO also gives Feebas a 15% flee chance. It is also important to use pinap berries to maximize candy gained per captured Feebas. With everything noted, it will take 17 Feebas captures to obtain 100 candies using pinap berries.

After obtaining all the required candies, the next step is to walk 20 kilometers with Feebas as a buddy. There is no easy method or trick that takes advantage of in-game items to make this step go by faster. Simply enter the player menu in Pokemon GO by tapping on the trainer icon in the map view and from there, tap on the player trainer. This should bring up the Buddy Menu where players can see their buddy Pokemon. From there, scroll down and find the "Swap Buddies" option.
