As an aside, I feel kinda sorry for Hitmontop. It's one of those neat ideas pokemon has occasionally that just didn't really pan out too great. The way to obtain it is just so unpleasantly luck-based and ridiculously rare.

GameFreak loves to include at least one pokemon per gen that has a really weirdly obtuse and unconventional method of evolution and a lot of them kinda had to be patched out later, so to speak. Though I'm glad that you can still max out Feebas' beauty stat. I am sentimental maybe.
