SwordAnglers love the fight this Pokémon puts up on the hook. And there are always more to catch— many people release them into lakes illicitly. Blue-striped Basculin used to be a common food source. They apparently have an inoffensive, light flavor.
ShieldIn 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. Known for their violence, these Pokémon have the most fights with schools of red-striped Basculin.
