Description
The Hostile Pokémon
Basculin has often been referred to as "the Thug of the Lake" or "Thug of the River", and uses its jaws, which are strong enough to leave bite marks in iron sheets, to devour everything in its way. However, despite their fierce reputation, Basculin become prey to stronger organisms, such asBombirdier and Dondozo. Basculin were once also consumed by humans, and were considered very delicious. The meat of Blue-Striped Basculin has an inoffensive, light flavor, while the meat of Red-Striped Basculin is fattier, and was more popular with the youth. Basculin is a popular Pokémon with anglers due to its resistance. Many people release Basculin into lakes illegally, causing its population to grow abundant.
Red- and Blue-Striped Basculin are extremely hostile, especially towards their opposite form (even though the only real difference between them is the stripe on their backs). They generally start fighting each other on sight for territory. However, on rare occasions, one form may swim with the other's school. Basculin is full of vitality and reproduces quickly. When a school of Basculin appears in a lake, Pokémon other than Corphish and Crawdaunt flee. It competes with Carvanha for food.
Basculin is a Water-type Pokémon. It has three different forms: Red-Striped Form ; Blue-Striped Form; and in the Hisui region, White-Striped Form . While the Red- and Blue-Striped Forms are not known to evolve into or from any other Pokemon, the White-Striped Basculin can evolve into Basculegion upon leveling up after losing 249 HP from recoil damage.
