Pokémon Legends: Arceus - Basculin Evolution Guide
Pokémon Legends: Arceus introduced several new evolution forms to the series, including Basculegion, the Water/Ghost-Type evolution of Hisuian Basculin.

However, in order to add Basculegion to their team of party Pokémon, trainers will have to evolve one from a Basculin since Basculegion itself can’t be caught in the wilds of the Hisui region.
