The Teal Mask is full of Pokemon with unique and bizarre evolution requirements. I love trying to figure these out for myself, but some tiptoe the line between inspired and obtuse. Basculegion is one such Pokemon, and the evolution conditions are so strange that it’s unlikely to be discovered without help. Even finding a Basculin in the first place is no mean feat. With this in mind, let me show you how to get Basculegion in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – Teal Mask.

The release of DLC for almost any given game usually coincides with a patch that implements bug fixes and other improvements big and small. Naturally, today’s release of The Teal Mask DLC expansion for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet serves as no exception. Specifically, it came alongside the Version 2.0.1 patch that aims to improve the experience just that little bit more. And arguably the most significant fix that the patch introduces to Pokemon Scarlet & Violet comes in the form of loading time optimizations when scrolling through the PC boxes where you can store your Pokemon.

The first paid DLC for Game Freak’s Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 1: The Teal Mask, is out now.
