Psyduck (Japanese:コダックKoduck) is aWater-typePokémon introduced inGeneration I.

Itevolves intoGolduck starting atlevel 33.

Biology

Psyduck is a yellowPokémon resembling aduck or a bipedalplatypus. On top of its head are three thick strands of black hair, and it has a wide, flat cream-colored beak. Psyduck's eyes seem vacant and have tiny pupils. Its legs and tail are stubby, and it has cream-colored webbed feet. There are three claws on each of its hands.

Psyduck is constantly stunned by itsheadache and is unable to think very clearly. It usually stands immobile, trying to calm its headache. However, when its headache becomes too severe, Psyduck releases tension in the form of strong psychic powers. The use of these powers produces brain waves identical to those seen in sleepers, and the Pokémon is unable to recall these episodes. Psyduck lives infreshwater lakes and small ponds, but can be seen in rivers in tropical areas as shown inPokémon Snap. As mentioned inPokémon Sleep, Psyduck suffers headaches while it sleeps.[1] Very rarely, their sights are Psyduck sleeping peacefully while not holding its head.

Prior toGeneration V, Psyduck and its evolved form,Golduck, were theonly known Pokémon that could haveCloud Nine as anAbility.

RubyPsyduck uses a mysterious power. When it does so, thisPokémon generates brain waves that are supposedly only seen in sleepers. This discovery spurred controversy among scholars.
SapphireIf it uses its mysterious power,Psyduck can't remember having done so. It apparently can't form a memory of such an event because it goes into an altered state that is much like deep sleep.
EmeraldWhen its headache intensifies, it starts using strange powers. However, it has no recollection of its powers, so it always looks befuddled and bewildered.
FireRedIt is constantly wracked by a headache. When the headache turns intense, it begins using mysterious powers.

SunAs a result of headaches so fierce they cause it to cry, it sometimes uses psychokinesis without meaning to.
MoonThis Pokémon is troubled by constant headaches. The more pain it's in, the more powerful its psychokinesis becomes.
Ultra SunUsing psychokinesis gives it a headache, so it normally passes the time spacing out and doing as little as possible.
Ultra MoonIt has been found that its brain cells are 10 times more active when Psyduck is experiencing a headache.
Let's Go PikachuAlways tormented by headaches. It uses psychic powers, but whether it intends to do so is not known.

SwordPsyduck is constantly beset by headaches. If the Pokémon lets its strange power erupt, apparently the pain subsides for a while.
ShieldAs Psyduck gets stressed out, its headache gets progressively worse. It uses intense psychic energy to overwhelm those around it.
Brilliant DiamondIf its usual headache worsens, it starts exhibiting odd powers. It can't remember doing so, however.
Shining PearlIt never remembers using its odd powers, so it always tilts its head in puzzlement.
Legends: ArceusSuffers perpetual headaches. If the agony grows too great, Psyduck's latent power erupts, contrary to Psyduck's intent. Ergo, I am exploring ways to ease the pain.

Trivia

Origin

Psyduck appears to be based on aduck. Its yellow coloration, proportions, and simple anatomy could be inspired byrubber ducks in particular. It also shares some similarities withplatypuses, such as the lack of a well defined neck, clawed hands, and strands of hair atop of its head.

Just like its evolved form,Golduck it may take inspiration from a mythical Japanese creature,Kappa, that lives next to water streams and play tricks on people.

Psyduck suffering from headaches from its latent psychic abilities, and sometimes being unable to control them, may be inspired by similar tropes in fantasy or science fiction stories. The golden color of its body may represent psychic powers, as gold is often associated with psychic abilities in Pokémon.

Name origin

Psyduck may be a combination ofpsy- orpsychic (referring to its mental powers) andduck.

Koduck may be a combination of 小ko (small) or 子ko (child) andduck.
