==Trivia==

* In Pokémon 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 Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, wild 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 [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 have Reckless and Adaptability as their two standard Abilities. When a Blue-Striped Basculin with Reckless is transferred from [[Generation V]] to [[Generation VI]], its Ability is changed to Rock Head.

===Origin===

Basculin were most likely inspired by a {{wp|bass (fish)|bass}} or {{wp|piranha}}, the latter of which has historically been viewed as violent.

====Name origin====

Bassrao may be a combination of ''bass'' and 丈夫 ''masurao'' (warrior, referring to its {{a|Reckless|bold, violent nature}}) or バカラオ ''bakarao'' ({{wp|bacalhau}}).
