Pokédex entries
| 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. |
| Gold | It has mystical powers but doesn’t recall that it has used them. That is why it always looks puzzled. |
| Silver | 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 psychic power is when its sleeping brain cells happen to wake. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Diamond | If its usual headache worsens, it starts exhibiting odd powers. It can’t remember doing so, however. |
| Pearl | It never remembers using its odd powers, so it always tilts its head in puzzlement. |
| Platinum | Overwhelmed by enigmatic abilities, it suffers a constant headache. It sometimes uses mysterious powers. |
| HeartGold | It has mystical powers but doesn’t recall that it has used them. That is why it always looks puzzled. |
| SoulSilver | If its chronic headache peaks, it may exhibit odd powers. It seems unable to recall such an episode. |
| Black White |
Overwhelmed by enigmatic abilities, it suffers a constant headache. It sometimes uses mysterious powers. |
| Black 2 White 2 |
When headaches stimulate its brain cells, which are usually inactive, it can use a mysterious power. |
| X | It is constantly wracked by a headache. When the headache turns intense, it begins using mysterious powers. |
| Y | It has mystical powers but doesn’t recall that it has used them. That is why it always looks puzzled. |
| Omega 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. |
| Alpha 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Brilliant Diamond | If its usual headache worsens, it starts exhibiting odd powers. It can’t remember doing so, however. |
| Shining Pearl | It never remembers using its odd powers, so it always tilts its head in puzzlement. |
| 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. |
| Scarlet | It is constantly wracked by a headache. When the headache turns intense, it begins using mysterious powers. |
| Violet | If its chronic headache peaks, it may exhibit odd powers. It seems unable to recall such an episode. |
