* While many Pokémon are able to have up to three different Abilities legitimately, with two primary Abilities and a Hidden Ability, Blue-Striped Basculin is the only Pokémon capable of legitimately having four different abilities, with {{a|Rock Head}} being the Ability of an NPC-traded Blue-Striped Basculin from [[Driftveil City]] in {{game3|Black and White|Pokémon White|s}}.
* In Black and White, Blue-Striped Basculin have the same two standard possible Abilities as Red-Striped Basculin—{{a|Reckless}} and {{a|Adaptability}} (and is listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D]]); however, the Blue-Striped Basculin that can be obtained via in-game trade in White has the Ability {{a|Rock Head}}. In Black 2 and White 2, Blue-Striped Basculin's two standard possible Abilities are {{a|Rock Head}} and {{a|Adaptability}}, while Red-Striped Basculin's stay the same (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D Pro]]).
** However, Blue-Striped Basculin with Rock Head instead of {{a|Reckless}} can be caught in the wild in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, meaning it may be a programming error.
** This indicates that Blue-Striped Basculin may have been intended to have Rock Head instead of Reckless in Black and White, but resulted in having the same Ability as Red-Striped Basculin due to an oversight.
** This makes Blue-Striped Basculin the only form of a Pokémon that can legitimately have one of four different Abilities.
* Basculin shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Zweilous}}. They are both known as Hostile Pokémon.
