4 generations · newest first
Generation VIII3 entries
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.

Generation VII2 entries
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.

Generation VI2 entries
X, Omega Ruby

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

Y, Alpha Sapphire

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

Generation V3 entries
Black

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

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