Form Changes
Basculin has three fixed forms: Red-Striped, Blue-Striped, and White-Striped (also considered Hisuian in some contexts).
It cannot change forms. Red and Blue are typically available in opposite games, or one is common while the other is rarer.
In , White-Striped is exclusive to Hisui, and in , it's exclusive to Kitakami.
Breeding Basculin inherits the mother's form when bred with
Ditto
.
White-Striped Basculin is not treated as a regional form for breeding and doesn't require an
Everstone
to pass down its form.
Basculegion as the mother or bred with Ditto results in White-Striped Basculin offspring.

SW | 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. |
SH | 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. |
B2 W2 OR X | Red- and blue-striped Basculin are very violent and always fighting. They are also remarkably tasty. |
B | Red and blue Basculin get along so poorly, they’ll start fighting instantly. These Pokémon are very hostile. |
W AS Y | Red and blue Basculin usually do not get along, but sometimes members of one school mingle with the other’s school. |
US | Savage, violent Pokémon, red and blue Basculin are always fighting each other over territory. |
LA | 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. |
UM | When a school of Basculin appears in a lake, everything else disappears, except for Corphish and Crawdaunt. That’s how violent Basculin are. |
