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.
Red-Striped Basculin is distinguished by a red stripe separating the black and green portions of its body. It has jagged fins resembling tridents and circular, red eyes.
Red-Striped Basculin is so violent that when a school of them appears in a lake, pokémon other than Corphish and Crawdaunt flee, leading it to be referred to as the "Thug of the River". It is sought by anglers for the resistance it puts up on hooks, with many people illegally releasing them into lakes and causing its population to grow more abundant. Red-Striped Basculin is full of vitality and reproduces quickly. Its predators include Bombirdier and Dondozo.
