Flavor Text |
 | Ultra Sun | Savage, violent Pokémon, red and blue Basculin are always fighting each other over territory. |
Ultra Moon | When a school of Basculin appears in a lake, everything else disappears, except for Corphish and Crawdaunt. That’s how violent Basculin are. |  | Ultra Sun | Even Basculin, which devours everything it can with its huge jaws, is nothing more than food to organisms stronger than itself. |
Ultra Moon | Some people call it “the thug of the lake.” Whether the differences in color are meaningful is not yet known. |
