Descriptions
  • Black

    Red and blue Basculin get along so poorly, they’ll start fighting instantly. These Pokémon are very hostile.

  • White

    Red and blue Basculin usually do not get along, but sometimes members of one school mingle with the other’s school.

  • Black 2

    Red- and blue-striped Basculin are very violent and always fighting. They are also remarkably tasty.

  • White 2

    Red- and blue-striped Basculin are very violent and always fighting. They are also remarkably tasty.

  • X

    Red- and blue-striped Basculin are very violent and always fighting. They are also remarkably tasty.

  • Y

    Red and blue Basculin usually do not get along, but sometimes members of one school mingle with the other’s school.

  • Omega Ruby

    Red- and blue-striped Basculin are very violent and always fighting. They are also remarkably tasty.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    Red and blue Basculin usually do not get along, but sometimes members of one school mingle with the other’s school.

  • Ultra Sun

    Savage, violent Pokémon, red and blue Basculin are always fighting each other over territory.

  • Ultra Moon

    When a school of Basculin appears in a lake, everything else disappears, except for Corphish and Crawdaunt. That’s how violent Basculin are.

  • Sword

    Anglers love the fight this Pokémon puts up on the hook. And there are always more to catch— many people release them into lakes illicitly.

  • Shield

    In the past, it often appeared on the dinner table. The meat of red-striped Basculin is on the fatty side, and it’s more popular with the youth.

  • Legends: Arceus

    Though it differs from other Basculin in several respects, including demeanor—this one is gentle—I have categorized it as a regional form given the vast array of shared qualities.
