What it does
Search your deck for up to 2 Basic Pokémon and put them onto your Bench. Then, shuffle your deck.
Though it differs from other Basculin in several respects, including demeanor—this one is gentle—I have categorized it as a regional form given the vast array of shared qualities.

Where it came from
The Hisuian Basculin card, numbered 043/189, was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Astral Radiance, which debuted in 2022. This set was heavily inspired by the Nintendo Switch game Pokémon Legends: Arceus, specifically focusing on the unique regional forms of Pokémon found within the ancient Hisui region. The card depicts a variant of Basculin that features a distinct white-and-red color scheme, reflecting its specialized adaptation to the frigid waters of the Hisui territory.
The illustration was created by artist NC Empire, who has contributed numerous pieces to the Pokémon TCG. The design captures the aggressive posture and streamlined physiology characteristic of the species. As a common-rarity water type card, it was produced as a accessible entry point for players during the set's cycle, serving to highlight the lore integration between the digital game's regional variants and the tabletop card experience.
