ScarletIts temperament is vicious and aggressive. This Pokémon is also full of vitality and can multiply rapidly before anyone notices. These Pokémon form schools with others of the same color. The greatest foe of a school of blue Basculin is a school of red Basculin.
VioletIt’s so vicious that it’s called the Thug of the River. Yet Basculin is still targeted by predators, such as Dondozo and Bombirdier. The power of its jaws is immense—enough to leave teeth marks in iron sheets. Its personality is also extremely vicious.
