Why does my Basculin have Rock Head?

Jun. 4, 2013

The abilities Basculin is supposed to have is Adaptability, Reckless, and Mold Breaker(Hidden ability). So why does my Basculin have rock-head?

EDIT: I found the basculin in some rippling water

Reckless, Adaptability and Mold Breaker are indeed the “normal” abilities for both Red- and Blue-Striped Basculin in Gen 5. However, there is a limited number of ways to get a Blue-Striped Basculin with Rock Head in Gen 5. One of these scenarios must apply:

As of Gen 6, Rock Head is formally an ability for Blue-Striped Basculin instead of Reckless. If a Blue-Striped Basculin with Reckless is transferred to Gen 6/7, its ability will become Rock Head.
