Terastal Phenomenon
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Generation 9), each Pokémon in Paldea has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.
There are 18 types, meaning there are countless combinations of Pokémon and Tera Types. Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.
Dark moves are bad against Fairy/Fighting/Dark.
Electric moves are bad against Ground.
Ghost moves are bad against Normal.
Grass moves are bad against Grass/Dragon/Fire/Flying/Poison/Bug/Steel.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Basculegion is: Fairy, Fighting, Dark, Ground, Normal, Grass, Dragon, Fire, Flying, Poison, Bug or Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Water or Ghost ) could also prove helpful.

Physical Sweeper Basculegion (Swift Swim)
Basculegion is a pretty decent Physical Sweeper for single battles. It's purpose is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Life Orb boosts the power of Basculegion's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. The Shell Bell item option is to help Basculegion recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge and Wave Crash. With Swift Swim, Basculegion's speed is doubled during rainy weather. Psychic Fangs was added to provide additional threat coverage.
◆ Wave Crash is a physical STAB-boosted 120-base power Water-type move (has 33% recoil).
◆ Liquidation is a physical STAB-boosted 85-base power Water-type move (20% chance to lower the target's defense by 1 stage).
◆ Outrage is a physical 120-base power Dragon-type move (lasts 2-3 turns. Confuses your Basculegion afterwards).
◆ Psychic Fangs is a physical 85-base power Psychic-type move (destroys screens, unless the target is immune).
◆ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 33% recoil).
