What it does
You can use this attack only if you go second, and only during your first turn. During your opponent's next turn, prevent all damage done to this Pokémon by attacks.
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 SWSH273, was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Sword & Shield Black Star Promos series. This specific card was distributed in 2022 to coincide with the introduction of the Hisui region, a setting featured in the video game Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Its release served to highlight the regional variant of the classic Basculin species, which is distinguished by its white-striped appearance and distinct evolution path.
The illustration was handled by the artist Tika Matsuno, who rendered the Pokémon in a dynamic, aquatic environment that emphasizes the creature's aggressive nature. As a promotional card, it was not found in standard booster packs but was instead included in specific product collections, such as the Hisuian Basculin-themed blister packs. The design reflects the broader aesthetic shift of the Sword & Shield era, which frequently utilized full-art or unique promotional framing to showcase regional variants to collectors.
