No. 550: Basculin

Like Shellos before it, Basculin comes in two different flavors.


The Red Striped Basculin, commonly found in Black regions, has a noticeably spicy tang to it. Best smoked for 2 hours, or until the skin naturally peels away.



The Blue Striped Basculin, native to White waters, is noted for its tenderness and sweet flavor. Recommended cooked with basil and garlic at 400 degrees for twenty minutes, or until a golden brown.


Seriously, these guys are dumb fish is all. They have some sort of rivalry, like a Pokemon version of the legendary Jets / Sharks feud, or even worse, Packers / Bears. But on their own, neither one is interesting enough to use. They have barely passable stats, and are outclassed by tons of other much cooler Water-types.

It was a neat way to use up two generic fish designs on one Pokemon slot, and for that I commend Gamefreak, but I'd still rather eat them than battle with them.


Overall: 3/10
