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.
Scarlet:Its temperament is vicious and aggressive. This Pokémon is also full of vitality and can multiply rapidly before anyone notices.
Violet:It’s so vicious that it’s called the Thug of the River. Yet Basculin is still targeted by predators, such as Dondozo and Bombirdier.
Ultra Sun:Even Basculin, which devours everything it can with its huge jaws, is nothing more than food to organisms stronger than itself.
Ultra Moon:Some people call it “the thug of the lake.” Whether the differences in color are meaningful is not yet known.
Sword:Blue-striped Basculin used to be a common food source. They apparently have an inoffensive, light flavor.
Shield:Known for their violence, these Pokémon have the most fights with schools of red-striped Basculin.
Scarlet:These Pokémon form schools with others of the same color. The greatest foe of a school of blue Basculin is a school of red Basculin.
Violet:The power of its jaws is immense, enough to leave teeth marks in iron sheets. Its personality is also extremely vicious.
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.
