Pokédex Entries

Generation I
Red:
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.
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 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.
Generation IV
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.
Generation V
Black:
Overwhelmed by enigmatic abilities, it suffers a constant headache. It sometimes uses mysterious powers.
Black 2:
When headaches stimulate its brain cells, which are usually inactive, it can use a mysterious power.
Generation VI
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.
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:
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.
