Golduck (Japanese: ゴルダック Golduck) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Psyduck starting at level 33.

Biology

Golduck is a blue, bipedal, duck-like Pokémon. It has red eyes, a cream-colored beak, and four spikes on the back of its head. There is a small, red gem on its forehead. It has webbed hands and feet, which it uses to swim in rivers and lakes. Its body is especially adapted to have a hydrodynamic shape, and it has a long tail that it uses as a rudder to steer.

Golduck is a fast swimmer, out-swimming even the most athletic of humans because of its webbed hands and feet. Even rough seas do not hamper this Pokémon’s swimming abilities, and it will sometimes rescue people from shipwrecks. The gem on its foreheads glows when it uses its psychic powers, and occasionally when it swims at full speed. As shown in the manga, it has the ability to give knowledge to its Trainer and fellow Pokémon through telepathy.

Golduck is sometimes mistaken for the Japanese monster, and physical inspiration for Golduck, the Kappa due to its bluish color, general body shape, and webbed hands and feet. Golduck lives in freshwater lakes and in rivers.

In the anime

Trinity used a Golduck in her battle against a Pokémon Trainer and his Feraligatr in the finals of the Whirl Cup The Perfect Match. After dealing with an attack by Team Rocket, Golduck was shown being defeated.

A Golduck was owned by a Trainer named Katie in Shocks and Bonds. It defeated Ash's Torkoal after Venomoth disabled Torkoal's Iron Defense attack. In the following episode, Katie's Golduck was defeated by Ash's Corphish, despite being under confusion.

Trivia

Origin

Golduck's appearance has aspects of a duck, platypus, and kappa.

Name origin

Golduck may be a combination of gold and duck. While Golduck itself is not colored gold, gold is often used in the Pokémon canon to symbolize the Psychic type: the Gold Gummi is the Gummi variety loved by Psychic-type Pokémon, and the Marsh Badge's Japanese name is "Gold Badge".
