The answer to the question of whether Basculin can evolve in Sword is a bit complex, as it depends on the form of Basculin you have, with only the White-Striped form being able to evolve into Basculegion, and Sword typically having Red-Striped Basculin. To evolve Basculin into Basculegion in Sword, you would need to obtain a White-Striped Basculin, which can be done through trading with someone who owns the other game, and then follow the specific evolution requirements.
