Psyduck (Japanese: コダック Koduck) is a Water-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Golduck starting at level 33.
Biology
Physiology
Psyduck resembles a yellow duck or platypus with a vacant stare. It has three small tufts of black hair at the top of its head. It walks on its hind legs, has a stubby tail, and has arms rather than wings. Its arms are useful in using its powerful psychic abilities. Its appearance, according to the Pokédex, is meant to trick enemies into thinking it is weak. It has arms with three claws on each to deliver scratches if threatened.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Psyduck is constantly stunned by its headache. It usually stands immobile, with a vacant expression, trying to calm its headache. However, when its headache becomes too severe, it releases tension in the form of strong psychic powers.
Behavior
Psyduck are usually unable to think very clearly due to having a chronic headache. Because of the headache, a Psyduck will always hold its head. When these headaches worsen, Psyduck may use psychic powers.
Habitat
Psyduck live in freshwater lakes, small ponds, or rivers in tropical areas. It is a widespread Pokémon common in Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh. It has also been imported to the Hoenn Safari Zone.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
In the anime
Major appearances
Misty's Psyduck
Misty has a Psyduck that she accidentally caught in Hypno's Naptime. It is a constant source of frustration for her, as it frequently emerges from its Poké Ball to attempt to battle the opponent in substitution of one of her other Pokémon. Despite this, she has been shown to deeply care for it. Despite being generally shown as dimwitted and oblivious, when its headache gets bad enough, it has been shown to use phenomenally powerful Psychic-type moves which far exceed its normal ability.
Other
In Bye Bye Psyduck, a girl named Marina owned a Psyduck that wasn't as dopey as the one Misty had.
In Sitting Psyduck, a Psyduck was owned by a rich girl named Emily. However, the Psyduck didn't like having a pampered life-style and kept running away.

Trivia
- Psyduck, as well as Golduck, has appeared in every regional Pokédex, due to the Unova Pokédex's expansion in Black 2 and White 2.
- Psyduck is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect foreign Pokédex entries for in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
- Psyduck is the only Pokémon to learn Psychic by breeding.
- Psyduck could not learn Psychic any other way up until Generation IV, where it was capable of learning it by TM.
- Psyduck requires the most loops with the Capture Styler to be captured in Pokémon Ranger, surpassing even Metagross.
- Despite its own name and numerous Pokédex entries talking about how its headache increases its psychic powers, neither Psyduck nor Golduck are part Psychic-type.
- Psyduck and Golduck are the only non-Psychic Pokémon to learn Wonder Room via leveling up.
Origin
Psyduck's apparent lack of feathers and ability to fly, along with its claws, suggest that its design draws inspiration from a platypus with some influence from ducks.
Name origin
Psyduck is a combination of psychic (referring to its mental powers) and duck.
Koduck may be a combination of 子ko (child) and duck.
