Background

Milotic was a miserable, timid Feebas before Xia Chen took him in. Xia Chen raised him with Beauty Pokéblocks, pursuing an evolution method based on Beauty rather than the prohibitively expensive Prism Scale. After two and a half months of feeding, research, and training, Feebas evolved into Milotic in Xia Chen's home. Milotic regarded the evolution as the beginning of a longer path rather than its conclusion. 87

His early strength grew unusually quickly through the Dragon-Raising System, but his mentality remained shaped by his former life as a fearful Feebas. Sylveon eventually forced him to confront this insecurity at Dragon Leap Falls, where Milotic realized that beauty, talent, and external gifts could not replace courage. His renewed resolve unlocked the Leap in the Abyss achievement, permanently increasing all his abilities by 10%. 153

At the Waterfall Festival, Milotic endured the ascent of Dragon Leap Falls and was saved from falling by Sylveon. Refusing to retreat again, he absorbed the White Jade Orb and awakened Water Manipulation, allowing him to command the waterfall and reach the summit. 155

Milotic's growth later became increasingly draconic. After absorbing Sea Incense associated with Kyogre, he developed harder scales, a growing horn, purer Water-type energy, and Water Spout. 202 Herba Mystica then awakened his Yinglong Bloodline, transformed him into a Water/Dragon-type Pokémon, and began a gradual metamorphosis beyond ordinary Milotic evolution. 290 291

Appearance

Milotic possesses a long, water-serpent-like body, a cream-white base coloration, and shimmering pink-and-blue scales. Following his later breakthroughs, his appearance became increasingly dragon-like and regal. 87 290 379

• Initially grew to approximately four to five meters after evolving from Feebas. 87
• Reached nearly ten meters in length after awakening the Yinglong Bloodline. 291
• Developed tougher scales that shifted from bluish-white to sky-blue and jade-like dragon scales. 202 290 379
• His head protrusions developed into conspicuous dragon horns. 379
• His long rose-red brows evolved into ribbon-like dragon whiskers. 379
• His beauty regularly captivates spectators and even opposing Trainers and Pokémon. 111 340 480

Personality

Milotic is affectionate toward Xia Chen and deeply values the home and companionship Xia Chen gave him after his life as Feebas. He can be playful and impulsive, such as abruptly taking Xia Chen into a lake without warning, but becomes guilty when his actions inconvenience his Trainer. 105

He is proud of both his strength and appearance. His Competitive spirit makes him reluctant to show pain or weakness, and he becomes notably angered when attacks damage or soil his scales. 98 112

Despite his beauty and rapid growth, Milotic initially suffered from a deep inferiority complex. He feared that he remained the same weak Feebas beneath his evolved form and questioned whether his strength truly belonged to him. His encounter with the persistent Magikarp at Dragon Leap Falls and Xia Chen's support helped him choose to face adversity rather than flee from it. 152 153

Milotic is also highly competitive with Sylveon. Their rivalry began as a struggle over household status, but Sylveon's harsh intervention and later rescue during the waterfall climb became crucial to Milotic's emotional growth. 96 153 155

Abilities & Skills

Competitive

Milotic's Ability sharply raises his Special Attack when an opponent lowers one of his stats.

• Incineroar's Intimidate activated Competitive rather than weakening him. 113
• Primarina's Moonblast lowered Milotic's Special Attack but instead gave him a major offensive boost. 480
• Xia Chen considers Competitive particularly valuable because even Haze removing Milotic's boosts can trigger it. 480

Water Manipulation

A Beginner-level talent awakened through the White Jade Orb.

• Allows Milotic to command and disperse surrounding water, enabling him to climb Dragon Leap Falls. 155
• Greatly accelerates his Rain Dance, allowing heavy rain to be summoned almost immediately. 198
• Develops beyond simple water control; Milotic learns it can influence Water-dependent Pokémon weaker than or comparable to himself. 289
• Enhances large-scale techniques, such as drawing rainwater into his mouth before releasing it as a high-pressure torrent. 277

Yinglong Bloodline

A draconic bloodline awakened by Herba Mystica.

• Changed Milotic into a Water/Dragon-type Pokémon and raised him to Gym-level strength. 290
• Increased his move power, physical potential, and resistance to status conditions. 290
• Granted a 600 base-stat total: 110 HP, 50 Attack, 100 Defense, 120 Special Attack, 130 Special Defense, and 90 Speed. 291
• Causes a gradual metamorphosis into a more dragon-like, noble form rather than an instantaneous conventional evolution. 291 379

Quiver Dance

An exceptional boosting move normally associated with a narrow group of Pokémon, which Milotic unlocked at 5% growth.

• Raises Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. 98 202
• First revealed during an internal battle with Eevee, where it threw her from his body and overturned her expectations. 98
• Became public during Xia Chen's admissions tournament, where it allowed Milotic to withstand Gengar's Thunderbolt and overwhelm it with boosted attacks. 115
• Can be used repeatedly when Milotic creates an opening, raising his combat parameters to or near Elite Four level. 341
• Later improves not only movement but move-execution speed, allowing Milotic to seize control of battle tempo. 590

Water-Type Techniques

Milotic is an exceptionally gifted Water-energy controller.

• Hydro Pump — His foundational offensive move, developed through sustained practice as Feebas. It can overwhelm Swift, halt Metang's charge, and defeat opponents in a single rain-boosted strike. 96 111 114
• Rain Dance — Milotic could use it with ease while still in the Amateur Class, creating rain in under two seconds. 111
• Surf — Used as a wide-range defensive counter against close-quarters threats such as Excadrill. 198
• Water Spout — Unlocked at 15% growth. Milotic spins to gather Water-type energy, then releases a battlefield-flooding torrent powerful enough to overwhelm Elite-level Blaziken. 202
• Aqua Ring — Restores Milotic's health over time and can be adapted for defense through refined energy control. 341 360

Dragon and Coverage Techniques

Milotic's draconic growth grants him an unusually broad movepool.

• Dragon Pulse — Used effectively against Metang through tracking and close-range reliability; its damage benefits from Milotic's exceptional Dragon-type energy. 112
• Draco Meteor — Unlocked through his Yinglong Bloodline and used against Dondozo after his Gym-level breakthrough. 290
• Dragon Tail — Used with near-instant activation to force Long Ye's Haxorus back into its Poké Ball. 178
• Ice Beam — A rapid, high-precision coverage move capable of instantly defeating Veteran-level Exeggutor and freezing Flygon's wing after Bind immobilized it. 178 179
• Freeze-Dry — A concealed Ice-type technique that strikes Water types super effectively; it severely injured Swampert and devastated Wallace's Gyarados. 237 341
• Hidden Power — Used as a Dark-type attack to strike Metang at its predicted escape point. 112
• Energy Ball and Power Whip — Grass-type coverage used against Primarina after Milotic's Dragon traits became more pronounced. 480

Hypnosis

Milotic employs an unconventional form of Hypnosis through his patterned tail and Psychic energy.

• His tail acts as a medium that improves Hypnosis's accuracy. 414
• Successfully put Wallace's charging Gyarados to sleep underwater at point-blank range. 341
• Put Giovanni's Mega Beedrill to sleep despite facing away from it. 413 414

Exclusive Moves

Milotic's system identifies three unique moves unavailable in known move lists.

• Leap Amid the Abyss — Unlocks at 30% growth; produces a Water/Dragon-type force and creates Rainy Weather. 291 561 578
• Yinglong Ascending Heaven — Unlocks at 40% growth; absorbs incoming energy, including Max Hailstorm, then returns it as a Dragon-type counterattack. 291 481
• Drawing Borders, Forming Rivers — Unlocks at 50% growth; manifests a water dragon beneath a target, bypasses Protect, tracks the opponent, and ends in a Rain Dance-like downpour. 291 379

Equipment / Items

• Beauty Pokéblocks — Enabled his evolution from Feebas into Milotic. 87
• White Jade Orb — Absorbed at Dragon Leap Falls; awakened Water Manipulation and brought his growth to 10%. 155
• Sea Incense associated with Kyogre — Absorbed to reach 15% growth and unlock Water Spout. 202
• Herba Mystica — Consumed during his confrontation with Dondozo; awakened the Yinglong Bloodline and Water/Dragon typing. 290 291

Relationships

• Xia Chen — Trainer and rescuer. Milotic is profoundly grateful to Xia Chen for saving him as Feebas, evolving him, and supporting him through his emotional crisis. 87 153
• Sylveon — Rival and harsh mentor. Sylveon exposed Milotic's lingering cowardice, then saved him from falling during the Waterfall Festival. 153 155
• Dragonair — Romantic partner. Milotic was initially frightened and conflicted around her, later developed genuine attachment, and chose to leave to train so he could close their strength gap. Dragonair became pregnant before their separation. 106 109 116
• Eevee/Sylveon — Household senior and early battle rival. Their first serious spar taught Milotic the limits of his straightforward battle style and prompted his first use of Quiver Dance. 96 98
• Goodra — Trainer and sparring partner at the Hidden Dragon Gym. Goodra helped improve Milotic's move mastery and later tested his Protect-bypassing exclusive technique. 110 379
• Rayquaza — Special-training mentor. Milotic trained with Rayquaza in the ozone layer for more than two months, greatly strengthening his dragon-like body and reaching Gym-level three-star strength. 379
• Magikarp of Dragon Leap Falls — A symbolic mirror of Milotic's former self. Its persistence inspired Milotic to confront the waterfall and his own fear. 153

Story Role / Major Arcs

Beauty-Based Evolution

Milotic's existence becomes the proof of Xia Chen's Beauty Pokéblock research. His evolution publicly challenges the Prism Scale monopoly and demonstrates that Feebas can evolve through Beauty instead of an expensive scale. 87 113 173

Shangjing University Admissions Tournament

Milotic makes his competitive debut against Chen Mo's Metang, using Rain Dance, Hydro Pump, Dragon Pulse, and Hidden Power to secure victory. His subsequent battles establish that Beauty-evolved Milotic are not inferior to Prism Scale-evolved ones. 111 112 113

He later publicly confirms Quiver Dance during the tournament, defeating Gengar after Xia Chen disguises the setup with deliberate acting. 115

Dragon Leap Falls

Milotic's fixation on a Magikarp attempting to climb the falls exposes his fear that he remains an inferior Feebas. After Sylveon's provocation and Xia Chen's reassurance, he confronts the challenge himself, awakens Water Manipulation, and becomes the first participant to reach the summit. 152 153 155

Yinglong Bloodline Awakening

During the pursuit of the Titan Dondozo, Milotic consumes Herba Mystica to survive and breakthrough. He awakens the Yinglong Bloodline, gains Water/Dragon typing, reaches Gym level, and unlocks Draco Meteor. 290 291

Wallace Battles

Milotic battles Wallace's Elite Four-level Gyarados, overcoming the power gap through Freeze-Dry, Hypnosis, Quiver Dance, Aqua Ring, and Draco Meteor. Though he collapses immediately after the final exchange, Wallace concedes because Gyarados falls first. 340 341

In a later mirror match against Wallace's Dynamax Milotic, he survives all three Max Moves through Hydro Pump, Protect, and Yinglong Ascending Heaven, seriously wounding Wallace's ace before falling from exhaustion. 480 481

Rayquaza Training and Return

Milotic trains with Rayquaza in the ozone layer for over two months. He returns with a stronger dragon-like form, Gym-level three-star strength, and the ability to use Drawing Borders, Forming Rivers. 379

Trivia

• Milotic's system mistakenly awarded him a “World Champion” achievement for winning a Pokémon Contest. 150
• He initially fabricated a story that he learned Quiver Dance by watching a Butterfree dance at Cloud Marsh Lake. 99
• His first evolution flooded part of Xia Chen's living room after he leapt from the aquarium. 87
• Milotic's public evolution and Quiver Dance controversy substantially increased demand for Beauty Pokéblocks. 115 116
