I mostly just wanted a Feebas for breeding purposes; I had no plans whatsoever to try to evlove the one I got in a trade, as I was looking for any level female feebass. It has neutral status on the Hexagon thing that shows all those different traits you can raise via poffins.Good poffin is only really possible if you're making it with DS Wireless. Otherwise, your Feebas will not reach max Beauty before it's full (based on my testing with a Modest Feebas and Lv.16 Dry Poffins). You might be able to make it with the Lv.60 All-flavor poffin you get in I think Celestic, but I wouldn't bank on it. You're also never going to get it to max Beauty without a nature that makes it like Dry.
Also, your Feebas sounds very Action Replayed, are you sure its Beauty wasn't maxed already?
Sucks though that it seems I am going to have a very hard time trying to evlove it. I really wanted to get a Milotic since I never could find the Feebass square in R/S. I guess I will just have to breed some until I get one that likes Dry poffins and see what happens.
