List of Hisuian forms
White-Striped Basculin
The status ofBasculin's White-Striped Form as aregional form is inconsistent between variousPokémon media.
Evidence for
- InPokémon Legends: Arceus,Professor Laventon refers to White-Striped Basculin as a regional form in itsPokédex entry.
- White-Striped Basculin is treated as a Hisuian form when filtering by form in thePokédex inPokémon HOME.
- In thePokémon Trading Card Game,Basculin cards featuring the White-Striped Form use the name "Hisuian Basculin".
- In the video "One Thousand Pokémon!", which was made to commemorate the number of Pokémon in the National Pokédex surpassing 1000, the segment showcasing the Pokémon of Hisui shows White-Striped Basculin alongside Hisuian forms.[1]
Evidence against
- White-Striped Basculin is not referred to as "Hisuian Basculin" or "Hisuian form" in the games, instead being referred to as "White-Striped Form".
- White-Striped Basculin is not treated as a regional form whenbreeding, as a White-Striped Basculin orBasculegion parent is not required to hold anEverstone for the offspring to hatch into White-Striped Basculin.
- In the Pokémon Guidebook in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME, regional forms (and BloodmoonUrsaluna) are listed separately from their original forms, but White-Striped Basculin is not listed separately from Basculin. It also does not appear when filtering for Hisuian forms.
- InPokémon GO, White-Striped Basculin do not appear whensearching "hisui", unlike other Hisuian forms.
- White-Striped Basculin and itsevolved form are found in thewild inKitakami; conversely, all other regional forms and regional Evolutions are only naturally present in their home region (excludingBlueberry Academy's artificialTerarium).

Several Pokémon introduced in multiple generations have Hisuian forms.
Generation VIII
A total of sixteen Hisuian forms were introduced inGeneration VIII (seventeen if White-Striped Basculin is counted).
Generation IX
All Hisuian form Pokémon appear inPokémon Scarlet and Violet, though many can only be obtained bytransferring them fromPokémon HOME. Hisuian forms that evolve from non-regional forms (Typhlosion,Samurott,Lilligant,Braviary,Sliggoo,Goodra,Avalugg, andDecidueye) can be obtained with the Scarlet and Violetorigin mark, and possibly the player's ownTrainer ID, by transferring a Pokémon of that species with said mark toPokémon Legends: Arceus, evolving them there, and returning them to Scarlet and Violet.
InThe Teal Mask DLC,Perrin owns two HisuianGrowlithe. After the player helps her take photos of theBloodmoon Beast, shegives one of them to the player. InThe Indigo Disk DLC, Hisuian Qwilfish can be captured in theTerarium'sPolar Biome.
The Hisuian forms ofDecidueye,Typhlosion, andSamurott were made available to encounter in limitedPoké Portal News eventTera Raid Battles in 2023. During the events, they could each only be caught once per save file.
