Basculin questions

Is Basculin a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Basculin joins the collection from the Unova gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Basculin in PokéSurvivor?

Basculin is Water. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Basculin be shiny?

Yes. A wild Basculin is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Basculin a rift legendary?

No. Basculin can appear in waves. If its BST sits in a boss band, it can also be one of the five timed bosses.
