    Best Nature for Basculegion Explained

    Basculegion benefits most from the Adamant Nature. The increase in Attack allows Basculegion to better utilize its physical offense. Since most of its attacks are physical, it won't mind the drop in Special Attack.

    Speed is not as big of a factor

    While a speed increasing nature is often considered for battles in mainline Pokemon games, it doesn't play as big of a factor in Legends: Arceus due to every Pokemon's access to the Agile and Strong Styles. Make up for lower speed by planning around your turn order.

    Best Moves for Basculegion Explained

    It is unfortunate that Basculegion doesn't get a strong Physical Ghost-type move, but Wave Crash and Shadow Ball are still the best STAB moves for Basculegion with reliable power, accuracy, and PP. Crunch offers similar offensive benefits as Shadow Ball, but does not get the STAB boost.

    This moveset also proves useful against the most difficult battles in the game. Basculegion will do well against Volo's Arcanine, and having Ice Fang will be good against Garchomp and Giratina.
