Hisuian Basculegion · Lost Origin, what to know.
About the Hisuian Basculegion card
Numbered 45 of 217 in Lost Origin, released in September 2022, Hisuian Basculegion is a Rare Holo, a Stage 1 Water-type carrying 110 HP.
It evolves from Hisuian Basculin, so Hisuian Basculegion is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Hisuian Basculegion carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Clads itself in the souls of comrades that perished before fulfilling their goals of journeying upstream. No other species throughout all Hisui's rivers is Basculegion's equal."
What is Hisuian Basculegion worth?
Hisuian Basculegion is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Lost Origin's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Lost Origin holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Hisuian Basculegion before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Hisuian Basculegion comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Hisuian Basculegion can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting Hisuian Basculegion
When you go to buy Hisuian Basculegion, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Hisuian Basculegion, so price the specific copy in front of you.
