You will come to hate the fish as I have.
At most, Feebas exists in six water tiles on Route 119. Yes. Six. At
MOST. At least, it's in one. The number of active tiles and their location
are determined by what the Cool And Awesome Phrase is according to the good
folks at Dewford. The fun bit? There's no way of determining the
corrolation between the phrase and the locations because it's different for
every cart. Yay, fun.
Your task, therefore is to fish in every single tile. You won't find Feebas
by swimming - you have to fish. You will need to be Surfing at the same
time to reach most of the tiles. Even in active tiles, there's a 50% chance
you'll wind up with something like a Magikarp, but you can catch Feebas with
any of the three rods. You may want to fish in each tile three or four
times to ensure it's not a Feebass tile, but on the other hand, you may want
to beat yourself to death with your GameBoy. It'll be One Of Those Days.

Here's the NEXT super-mega-awesome-fun bit.
Once you've found the tile, remember where it is. You may well need to make
several trips. First of all, keep fishing and capturing Feebasses until you
catch at least one female. Then go back to check their personalities. Have
you got one that's either Rash, Quiet, Modest or Mild? No? Then go back to
fish some more. Oh, and don't change the Cool And Awesome Phrase unless you
REALLY enjoyed the treasure hunt you just spent three years or so
completing.
With a female Feebass (or, these days, a male and a Ditto traded from FL),
you can always breed for the right personality, but hatching eggs takes
time.
Once you've got a Rash, Quiet, Modest or Mild Feebass, we're ready to make
Milotic.
You now need to increase Feebass's beauty. This is difficult, because
Feebass is fugly. To do this, you must feed him PokéBlocks, which are Pez
for Pokémon. These must be blue or indigo, so use the following berries:
Pamtre Berry - super-mega rare, but the best.
Wiki, Kelpsy, Hondew or Cornn - fairly uncommon, but pretty good.
Chesto, Oran, Lum, Bluk or Wepear - common as filth, but not wonderful.
You can only feed any Pokémon twelve Pez, so it's best to feed Feebass the
ones that raise its Beauty the most, so I recommend the middle group of
berries. One or two made from the third list won't hurt, though, but be
careful. The last thing you want is a Feebass that's not QUITE pretty
enough and won't eat any more Pez. If you're unsure, save the game before
feeding it anything.
Once Beauty has been maxed out, level it up quickly - Rare Candy or
Experience Share at the ready. It will then evolve into Milotic.
