Basculin (Japanese: バスラオ Bassrao) is a Water-type pokémon introduced in Generation V.
Basculin (Japanese: バスラオ Bassrao) is a Water-type pokémon introduced in Generation V.
Basculin has three forms: Red-Striped Form, Blue-Striped Form, and White-Striped Form, the final of which is sometimes considered a Hisuian form. Red-Striped and Blue-Striped Basculin were both introduced in pokémon Black and White, while White-Striped Basculin was introduced in pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Red- and Blue-Striped Basculin are not known to evolve into or from any other pokémon. White-Striped Basculin evolves into Basculegion when leveled up after losing at least 294 HP from recoil damage without fainting.
The Blue-Striped Form is distinguished by a blue stripe in the same position. Its fins are smooth and rounded, and it has narrower, blue eyes.
Blue-Striped Basculin is sometimes called the "thug of the lake", but it still becomes prey to stronger organisms despite its fierce reputation. It forms schools with other Basculin of the same color, and its greatest foe is its Red-Striped counterpart. It uses its jaws, which are strong enough to leave bite marks in iron sheets, to devour everything in its way.
