Psyduck (Japanese: コダック Koduck) is a Water-type Pokémon.
Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Gold
- It has mystical powers but doesn't recall that it has used them. That is why it always looks puzzled.
- Pokémon Crystal
- The only time it can use its psychic power is when its sleeping brain cells happen to wake.
- Pokémon Ruby
- Psyduck uses a mysterious power. When it does so, this Pokémon generates brain waves that are supposedly only seen in sleepers. This discovery spurred controversy among scholars.
- Pokémon Emerald
- When its headache intensifies, it starts using strange powers. However, it has no recollection of its powers, so it always looks befuddled and bewildered.
- Pokémon FireRed
- It is constantly wracked by a headache. When the headache turns intense, it begins using mysterious powers.
- Pokémon LeafGreen
- While lulling its enemies with its vacant look, this wily Pokémon will use psychokinetic powers.
Name origin
Psyduck's name is possibly a combination of psychic, referring to its mental powers, and duck. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean small duck. One riddle posed in Brock's Trivia made a pun out of 子を抱っこ ko o dakko, hug a child. The French name is a corrupted combination of Psycho and quack; the sound ducks make.
Psyduck's apparent lack of feathers and ability to fly, along with its claws, suggest that its design draws inspiration from a duck as well as the duck-billed platypus.
