About Basculin
Basculin is a Water-type Pokémon, the Hostile Pokémon (No. 550), introduced in Generation V and native to the Unova region.
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.
