Collector Insights
Basculin is a Water-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It has two attacks: "Bite" costs one Colorless energy to deal 10 damage, and "Bared Fangs" requires one Water energy to deal 40 damage, though it fails if the defending Pokémon has no damage counters. The card’s flavor text notes a rivalry between red and blue Basculin, though occasional interactions occur. It belongs to the Black & White series, released in February 2012, as part of the Next Destinies set. The card is classified as Uncommon rarity and is numbered 30 in its series. Its weaknesses include Lightning-type attacks multiplied by two, and it has no resistances listed. Designed by artist Kagemaru Himeno, this card represents a specific evolutionary form of the Pokémon. The dex number 550 identifies it in official Pokédex listings.
Red and blue Basculin usually do not get along, but sometimes members of one school mingle with the other's school.
