In [[Hisui | In [[Hisui]], White-Striped Basculin has a similar appearance to the other two forms of Basculin. Despite its descriptor, the stripes above its eyes are actually a very pale shade of light blue, as are its irises. Its pectoral fins are smooth like Blue-Striped Basculin, but larger. Its dorsal fins are spiky and it has wide eyes, like Red-Striped Basculin. Its lower jaw is smaller than the jaws of either Red- or Blue-Striped Basculin, and both its lower and upper jaws have beak-like protrusions at the front. | ||
Unlike the other two forms, White-Striped Basculin are known to be gentle, with an ecology different enough from other Basculin to spawn recent theories of it being a separate species. White-Striped Basculin are known to share food with each other unlike their two counterparts. They are known to travel upstream; the journey is often perilous for the species, and many of them don't survive. As a result, the souls of the deceased White-Striped Basculin are often left behind in the waters of Hisui. However, when an injured White-Striped Basculin survives, it can unite with the souls in order to achieve the unique evolution into {{p|Basculegion}}. | Unlike the other two forms, White-Striped Basculin are known to be gentle, with an ecology different enough from other Basculin to spawn recent theories of it being a separate species.

Basculin cannot change its form. Generally, Red-Striped Form and Blue-Striped Form are either available in opposite games, or one can be found commonly while the other is rarer or only found through specific methods. For example, in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}}, Red-Striped Basculin can frequently be encountered while {{m|surf}}ing or [[fishing]], but Blue-Striped Basculin can only be found in {{DL|Phenomenon|rippling water}}; and in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}}, the opposite is true.

While Basculin's White-Striped Form may likewise be inspired by a bass, its design is also reminiscent of the {{wp|salmon}} or the related itou ({{wp|Sakhalin taimen}}), due to its behavior and the shape of its mouth resembling the {{wp|kype}}s that develop in male salmon.
