Basculin official artwork

Basculin (#0550) is a Water-type Hostile Pokémon introduced in Generation 5. It stands 1 m tall, weighs 18 kg and has a base stat total of 460, with its highest base stat in Speed (98). Its abilities are Reckless and Adaptability, with Mold Breaker as its Hidden Ability. Basculin is weak to Electric and Grass attacks.

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.
