Psyduck was accidentally defenseless after Misty dropped a Poké Ball
In Hypno's Naptime, the Pokémon of HopHopHop Town had been turned listless by the Psychic waves produced by a Hypno. When a Drowzee nullified the waves, the Pokémon were cured, with the exception of a wild Psyduck that Nurse Joy had been looking later on due to a chronic headache. Brock wanted to print her, so he promised to take care of the Duck Pokémon. Afterward, it was discovered that Psyduck had a permanent headache, so Brock ended upwards passing him off to Misty because she is a Water-blazon specialist. Misty tried to avoid Psyduck, but she ended up capturing him by accident when she dropped a Poké Ball that subsequently rolled towards Psyduck. Psyduck tapped the Ball'due south control with its nib twice and essentially caught itself.
Out of all of Misty's early Pokémon, Psyduck is arguably the i with the most personality. Psyduck does not similar to stay in his Poké Ball, and will usually pop out according to his mood. This personality trait came in handy quite a scrap - when Misty or her other Pokémon were captured, information technology was commonly Psyduck who escaped and ran to become assistance. However, Psyduck also tends to frustrate Misty, often emerging for a boxing when Misty would prefer to use some other Pokémon. Although in these cases Psyduck generally manages to win thanks to its Psychic attacks.
In Princess vs. Princess, Misty mistakenly used Psyduck during the Queen of the Princess Festival, the main result in the annual Princess Festival. He managed to defeat Jessie's newly-acquired Lickitung, who had easily defeated the balance of Misty's temporary team of Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Vulpix. This made Misty the winner of the contest and earned her a Pokémon doll drove as a prize.
Misty left Psyduck at a breeding center in The Convenance Center Hush-hush, unaware that it was a scheme by Team Rocket's Butch and Cassidy to steal Pokémon. The group visited a nearby eatery, learning that they could get an all-you-tin-eat meal for free if they could bring the chef his favorite Pokémon; a Psyduck. Shocked, Misty and the group heads back to the convenance center to retrieve Psyduck, simply to find it closed and soon uncover that it a Team Rocket scheme. After facing police force custody and a battle against Team Rocket, Misty and Psyduck are reunited, and render to the restaurant to enjoy the all-you-can-swallow offer.

Misty commanded Psyduck to use Confusion just information technology didn't respond.

In Alola, Alola!, Psyduck accompanied Misty to Alola. It let itself out of its Poké Ball while at Anela'southward stand up and concluded up swallowing a whole watermelon.
Personality and characteristics
Misty'southward Psyduck tin can easily be described as dimwitted and absent-minded. When it pops out of its Poké Ball, it often doesn't know how it got there. It is perpetually confused, and even when it summons powerful moves, it appears dislocated nearly how information technology managed to pull off such a feat. Psyduck's motivation for jumping out of his Poké Ball remains unknown, every bit he conspicuously does not enjoy or excel at battling.
Psyduck cannot swim, which is unusual for its species. In deep water, information technology will panic and flail virtually, like a non-swimmer afraid of drowning. On one occasion, Psyduck was given a lifebelt for it to relish the h2o. Information technology also has trouble in battle. It knows several powerful Psychic-type techniques, only can only utilize them when its headaches become severe.
Psyduck truly loves and cares for Misty; however, the pair's relationship is tumultuous. For comic purposes, Misty seems to go to the limit of violence with Psyduck, such as when she suggested she smash a bicycle on Psyduck's caput in lodge to activate its psychic powers in The Bridge Bike Gang. Psyduck is quite unconcerned to these threats of violence, perhaps considering information technology knows how Misty truly feels. Despite its faults, Psyduck e'er tries to exist there for her, whether she likes it or non. In Only Add together Water, Psyduck pushed Ash aside, wild with anger at Team Rocket's abduction of Misty and insisting on battling. Yet, afterwards a few seconds, it completely forgot what it was doing and went dorsum to looking confused. Misty constantly complains about Psyduck's faults and how its dopey expect gives her a headache, but she actually deeply cares for Psyduck. She has never considered releasing Psyduck, though she tried trading it for Brock's Vulpix in The Ninja Poké-Showdown. Though it has been suggested several times; she instantly shoots downwards such ideas, like when Koga and Aya both offered a trade with her. She also boasts near Psyduck'due south strengths when he comes through for her, such as during the Queen of the Princess Festival. Since When Regions Collide!, Misty's relationship with Psyduck has greatly improved, as has its battle techniques, as shown by her enthusiastically greeting Psyduck upon her return to the Gym.
In Alola, Alola!, Psyduck was shown to likewise take a big appetite, which was shown when information technology swallowed a whole watermelon, and likewise when information technology ate the food that Brock had cooked for himself, Misty, and Ash.
