Basculin (White Striped)'s Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Basculin (White Striped) PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Basculin is a pure Water-type Pokémon. Despite being a Pokémon with a high attack stat, it is still outclassed by many other Water-type Pokémon and shouldn’t really be expected to be a reliable Raid Attacker.

Basculin (White Striped) PvP Analysis

Basculin has a max 2363 CP which does make it viable for the Great League, and potentially the Ultra League with the right stats. However, Basculin is really frail, and has an almost entirely Water-type moveset. So it is rather easy to play against and defeat and can even be entirely walled despite its high attack stat by just using a Pokémon that resists Water-type attacks. Not recommended for any leagues.
