Psyduck (Japanese: コダック Koduck) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Golduck starting at level 33.
Biology
Psyduck is a yellow Pokémon resembling a duck or a bipedal platypus. 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 its headache 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 in freshwater lakes and small ponds, but can be seen in rivers in tropical areas as shown in Pokémon Snap.

Major appearances
Misty's Psyduck
In Hypno's Naptime, Misty accidentally caught a Psyduck. 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, Marina owns a Psyduck. It wasn't as dopey as the Psyduck Misty had, and even proved itself to be rather strong in battle, managing to defeat Staryu. However, it lost against a wild Golduck that Misty used under the belief that her Psyduck had evolved into it.

Ash and his friends later discovered that they were living by the pond because nearby Lake Psyduck had been invaded by a trio of Muk. Ash and his friends later evicted the Muk and allowed the Psyduck to live by Lake Psyduck so that the Psyduck's road blocking days can come to an end.
In Raid Battle in The Ruins!, Shane Seeker owns a Shiny Psyduck, which is his first and main Pokémon. Psyduck was used in a Raid Battle against a giant Golurk.

Trivia
- Psyduck is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect foreign Pokédex entries for in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
- Psyduck requires the most loops with the Capture Styler to be captured in Pokémon Ranger, surpassing even Metagross.
- Junichi Masuda has revealed that Psyduck was considered for the role of Pikachu's counterpart in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! instead of Eevee, but it was ultimately not chosen due to it being deemed too similar in color to Pikachu.
- Psyduck is Junichi Masuda's favorite Pokémon.[1]
Origin
Psyduck's design appears to draw inspiration from both ducks and platypuses. Its yellow coloration, proportions, and simple anatomy seem to be inspired by rubber ducks in particular.
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.
