Basculin

Basculin
The Hostile Pokémon
Type: Water
Official Registration #: 550
Entry: Fish-like pokémon that come in two different forms. The basculin known as the “red-stripe” variety are far more aggressive and reckless than their counterparts and will launch itself at prey without thinking twice, whereas the “blue-stripe” variety is far more careful and calculating and has been known to coordinate attacks with scores of like-striped basculin. Despite this, the two varieties of basculin are essentially the same, complete with the same battling potential and the same movepools, yet red-striped basculin are notoriously incapable of getting along with blue-striped varieties and vice-versa. These facts have led many Unovan poets throughout the twentieth century to use basculin as metaphors for the human race, a trend that some say is questionably tasteful due to the fact that basculin are secondarily known for the fact that both varieties taste the same and go great with a little lemon, basil, and white wine.
