How to Evolve Basculin to Basculegion in Pokémon: Legends Arceus
Take these steps to evolve your Basculin into a Basculegion in Pokémon: Legends Arceus!
One of the coolest aspects of Pokémon: Legends Arceus are all of the new region-specific forms and evolutions. With an expansive new map to explore, coming across new Pokémon is a wholly exciting new adventure.
Of the new Hisuian evolutions introduced is Basculegion, a Water/Ghost type Pokémon. Although its initial form, Basculin, has been around the Pokémon games since Generation V, Basculegion is an entirely new form specific to Hisui. It has a bit of a sad origin story, as according to the game’s canon, Basculin evolves into Basculegion when it gets possessed by the souls of other Basculin.
If you’d like to find out how you can evolve Hisuian Basculin to Basculegion in Pokémon: Legends Arceus (minus the ghosts!), keep reading below!
ALL STEPS TO EVOLVE BASCULIN INTO BASCULEGION
Once you’ve found yourself a Basculin, the main thing you’ll need to do is continue training and leveling up with it. This is because you’ll need access to Agile Style moves or Strong Style moves, depending on the gender of your Basculin.
Agile Style and Strong Style are new ways to do Pokémon moves that change certain aspects of the move. In order to access them, Pokémon need to “master” moves. So, to get Basculegion, you’ll need to use the move Wave Crash enough times for Basculin to “master” it. This’ll open up the ability to use Wave Crash in either the Agile or Strong Style.
Example of a Pokémon with an Agile Style move
Once your Basculin has mastered Wave Crash and opened up the Style ability, all it takes is continued training. Basculin of different genders have slightly different evolution requirements:
- A female Hisuian Basculin will evolve into a Basculegion if it takes 300 Recoil Damage while using the move Wave Crash in the Agile Style.
- A male Hisuian Basculin will evolve into a Basculegion if it takes 300 Recoil Damage while using the move Wave Crash in the Strong Style.
After you’ve taken 300 Recoil Damage with your Basculin, all it takes is a level up to begin the evolution sequence. And voilá! You now have a Basculegion!
Now, you can have fun and traverse Hisui using Basculegion as a mount!
Pokémon: Legends Arceus is available to play on Switch.
