Basculegion's appearance and [[evolution]]ary background may be based on {{wp|salmon}}, as some species are found in {{wp|Hokkaidō}} (where Hisui is based on) and its surrounding waters, and many of them don't survive when they migrate upstream. Specifically, it may be based on the ''itou'' or the {{wp|Sakhalin taimen}} (also nicknamed the "phantom fish" in Japan), a large, critically endangered species that belongs in the {{wp|Salmonidae}} family and lives in rivers in Hokkaidō. It also appears in {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} folklore as a giant, powerful creature named ''Ciray'' that could devour deer or boars. Like its pre-evolution, Basculegion also shares some similarities with the {{wp|largemouth bass}}, as well as other predatory fish such as the {{wp|snakehead}} and the {{wp|goliath tiger fish}}. | Basculegion's appearance and [[evolution]]ary background may be based on {{wp|salmon}}, as some species are found in {{wp|Hokkaidō}} (where Hisui is based on) and its surrounding waters, and many of them don't survive when they migrate upstream.

The male and female colorations of Basculegion may be inspired by the nuptial coloration of some salmon species, such as the {{wp|sockeye salmon|sockeye}} or the {{wp|coho salmon|coho}}, during mating season. While both male and female salmon change colors during this period, the males usually become redder and more vibrant, while the females are paler in comparison | The male and female colorations of Basculegion may be inspired by the nuptial coloration of some salmon species, such as the {{wp|sockeye salmon|sockeye}} or the {{wp|coho salmon|coho}}, during mating season.

Basculegion's lower jaw and pectoral fins may also be inspired by an {{wp|Itaomacip}}, an enlarged boat with side plates built by the Ainu people for seafaring and trading purposes. In real life, the Ainu created an extensive maritime network surrounding the {{wp|Sea of Okhotsk}} with this vessel. This could also have inspired Basculegion's role as a [[Ride Pokémon (Hisui)|Ride Pokémon]] on water in Hisui. | Basculegion's lower jaw and pectoral fins may also be inspired by an {{wp|Itaomacip}}, an enlarged boat with side plates built by the Ainu people for seafaring and trading purposes.
