Event overview
Nintendo is staging a limited-time in-game event centered on Feebas, the Fish Pokémon, that lets players collect a new event currency called Prism Scales and befriend Feebas and Milotic.
The promotion runs from August 13 at 5:00 a.m. local time to August 28 at 4:59 a.m. local time.
During the event, Prism Scales can be exchanged at the Pokémon Center for seaside-themed furniture and decorations designed to create summer-style habitats that attract Feebas and Milotic.
Rewritten statements (journalistic)
Nintendo explains that Feebas will appear in town during the scheduled window and that players can gather Prism Scales—an event-only item—to exchange for themed furnishings.
The publisher advises that the event requires the game software to be updated to version 2.0.0 and that certain prerequisites must be met before the event will trigger.
How the event works
- Speak to Feebas: Players should find and talk to Feebas near the Pokémon Center to begin the befriending sequence.
Once spoken to, Feebas becomes available to interact with during the event period.
- Collect Prism Scales: Interact with a designated doll to send Drifloon to take you to a Dream Island.
Explore that Dream Island to collect Prism Scales, the event’s exchange currency.
- Trade at the Pokémon Center: Bring collected Prism Scales to the Pokémon Center to trade for event-themed furniture and items.
Start-up requirements and notes
- Update to Ver. 2.0.0: From the HOME Menu, open Options and confirm the game displays software version 2.0.0.
- Town progress: Complete a town’s key requests and rebuild the Pokémon Center; the event will be available once those conditions are met.
If these requirements are satisfied on the final day, the event will still occur.
- System date/time and connectivity: Set your Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 system date and time to the current real-world date and time, and launch the game while connected to the internet.
The event will not trigger if the system date is outside the event period, and an internet connection is required the first time you play the event.
Multiplayer and limitations
Multiplayer participation is supported in Palette Town only.
Players must speak to Feebas and receive event details before starting Link Play; the event cannot be played in Spectator Mode.
The promotion does not occur on Cloud Islands or in Bubbly Basin.
Pokémon befriended during the event will remain in your town after the event ends.
Additional information
Online features require a Nintendo Account and, where applicable, a Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately).
