Basculin Pokédex Information
Basculin first appeared in the game Pokémon Black and White which released on September 18th 2010.
Basculin is a fish that may be based on a pirhana. It is predominantly green in colour, but has a black stripe along its back and jagged white fins. It has three different forms – Red-Striped, Blue-Striped and White-Striped.
In Red-Striped form it has a red stripes either side of the black stripe along its back and red eyes. Its temperament is vicious and aggressive. This Pokémon is also full of vitality and can multiply rapidly before anyone notices.
In Blue-Striped form its eyes are blue and it has bleu stripes next to the black stripe. 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.
White-Striped form Basculin has white eyes and two white stripes. 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.
