Pokédex Entries

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."
Black 2 "Red- and blue-striped Basculin are very violent and always fighting. They are also remarkably tasty."
