Iscan (Japanese: ススキ Susuki) is a warden tasked with watching over a special Basculegion.
In the core series
Iscan lives by the sea. He is timid and easily frightened, and as such, he dislikes Ghost-type Pokémon, with the exception of Basculegion. He and his Basculegion saved Palina - a warden from the Pearl Clan - when he was younger. The two of them soon began a romantic relationship, which they keep a secret from the rest of the clan members, since they are aware of Palina's bad reputation amongst the clans and how Palina did not want Iscan to also get a bad reputation because of her.
Pokémon

Iscan was introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese Dark Phantasma subset and the English Lost Origin expansion, with artwork by Akira Komayama. It was also released as a Full Art card and Secret card in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by Hitoshi Ariga. It allows the player to draw two cards. If their Active Pokémon has "Hisuian" in its name, they can draw two more cards.
Trivia

- Iscan is the only warden from the Diamond Clan that cannot be battled.
- Iscan is the only warden who does not have any Pokémon of his own, not counting the special Basculegion that he cares for.
- His dislike of Ghost-type Pokémon is ironic as the Pokémon he is tasked with watching over, Basculegion, is part Ghost-type.
