Basculin Pokédex: stats, moves, evolution & locations

Basculin is the Hostile Pokémon, a Water-type species introduced in Generation V. It first appeared in Pokemon Black. Basculin stands 1.0m tall and weighs 18.0kg.

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.
