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. |
