In AG140, a Psyduck was owned by a rich girl named Emily. However, the Psyduck didn't like having a pampered life-style and kepted running away.

Pokémon Red and Blue

While lulling its enemies with its vacant look, this wily Pokémon will use psychokinetic powers.
|
Pokémon LeafGreen
|
Pokémon Yellow
|
Always tormented by headaches. It uses psychic powers, but it is not known if it intends to do so.
|
Pokémon FireRed
|
It is constantly wracked by a headache. When the headache turns intense, it begins using mysterious powers.
|
Pokémon Gold
|
It has mystical powers but doesn't recall that it has used them. That is why it always looks puzzled.
|
Pokémon Silver
|
If its chronic headache peaks, it may exhibit odd powers. It seems unable to recall such an episode.
|
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 Sapphire
|
If 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.
|
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.

Trivia
One riddle posed in Brock's Trivia made a pun out of Psyduck's Japanese name with 子を抱っこ ko o dakko, hug a child.
Origin
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.
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.
In other languages
- German: Enton
- French: Psykokwak - A corrupted combination of Psycho and quack; the sound ducks make.
- Korean: 고라파덕 Gorapadeok
