Generation VII

Sun

As a result of headaches so fierce they cause it to cry, it sometimes uses psychokinesis without meaning to.

Moon

This Pokémon is troubled by constant headaches. The more pain it’s in, the more powerful its psychokinesis becomes.

Ultra Sun

Using psychokinesis gives it a headache, so it normally passes the time spacing out and doing as little as possible.

Ultra Moon

It has been found that its brain cells are 10 times more active when Psyduck is experiencing a headache.

Let's Go Pikachu, Let's Go Eevee

Always tormented by headaches. It uses psychic powers, but whether it intends to do so is not known.

Generation VIII

Sword

Psyduck is constantly beset by headaches. If the Pokémon lets its strange power erupt, apparently the pain subsides for a while.

Shield

As Psyduck gets stressed out, its headache gets progressively worse. It uses intense psychic energy to overwhelm those around it.

Legends: Arceus

Suffers perpetual headaches. If the agony grows too great, Psyduck's latent power erupts, contrary to Psyduck's intent. Ergo, I am exploring ways to ease the pain.

Generation I

Red, Blue

While lulling its enemies with its vacant look, this wily POKéMON will use psychokinetic powers.

Yellow

Always tormented by headaches. It uses psychic powers, but it is not known if it intends to do so.

Generation II

Gold

It has mystical powers but doesn't recall that it has used them. That is why it always looks puzzled.

If its chronic headache peaks, it may exhibit odd powers. It seems unable to recall such an episode.

Crystal

The only time it can use its psy­ chic power is when its sleeping brain cells happen to wake.

Generation III

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.

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.

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.

FireRed

It is constantly wracked by a headache. When the headache turns intense, it begins using mysterious powers.

LeafGreen

While lulling its enemies with its vacant look, this wily POKéMON will use psychokinetic powers.

It never remembers using its odd powers, so it always tilts its head in puzzlement.

X

Y
