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.
