Still really don't get why it wasn't a Psychic Type in the first place. Even though the typing now isn't great nowadays just the extra STAB would be useful. It even learns Psychic type moves for crying out loud.

[@Romeder]

Im assuming because there were already two psychic water types in gen 1.

[@edmg7]

@@Romeder I would agree, but in gen 1 the types seemed to be decided more based on how they worked with the designs and cultural inspirations rather than game balance (especially since the creators weren't planning on it having a big competitive presence at the time). I mean look at how many generation 1 Pokémon have the dual typing of grass/poison, normal/flying, and rock/ground.

[@jdrmanmusiqking]

@edmg7 Bruh its called PSYduck! It definitely shouldve been a Water+Psychic over a friggen starfish. Gamefreak has always been stupid with its typing. Exeggutor gets a dragon typing but Gyrados doesn't? 3 Fire + Fighting starters in a row? Grappoloct not having a secondary water typing? Fairies resisting bug and fighting for no damn reason? Ice being weak to everything? But the worst by far is Solgaleo being a steel not a fire type... Its a freakin SUN god thats weak to fire... Makes no sense.

[@musiyevonchilla6769]

[@windhelmguard5295]

i ran a doubles type team in gen-6 that lead with golduck and tentacruel, with mega sableye, steelix, espeon and froslass. the main idea was that golduck would use simple beam on tentacruel, which would then use Acupressure to boost it's stats by four stages, which was crucial because my other pokemon could then copy those boosts with psych up in order to take full advantage of all those possibilities (hence why both physical and special attackers/walls had to be there) whichever boosts tentacruel got out before either it or golduck kicked the bucket, would determine which pokemon goes out next.

He clobbered me in the first match, but exposed nothing of my team. I returned the favor in match 2 (he wasted Hydro Vortex on my protecting Muk), Twinkle Tackling Buzzwole away. Round 3 was a Tailwind war between his Pelipper and my Mandibuzz. In the last turn, it was a wounded Pelipper with 1 round of Tailwind against my wounded Koko and a 1HP confused Kartana (It dashed through a Hurricane). He did the only play he could which as Brine Tapu Koko and pray Kartana killed itself in confusion. Kartana snapped out of Confusion and gave me a win with 1 HP.

I love how it's named the Dux combo when Pelliper isn't a duck and it's named after the Farfetch'd you trade for in gen 1 but Farfetch'd isn't in it. And then Porygon2 is also used there and it's vaguely duck shaped but also not a duck

How GOOD was Ferrothorn actually?

For a while I thought Psyduck's beak in its Gen 1 sprite was a giant hole in its body instead, and I thought it was a giant doughnut-shaped creature

one of my favs i used a golduck on my diamond playthrough, and the whole time i thought it was preetty terrible, untill i battled cyrus, and all my pokemon fainted, except for my golduck. it completely destroyed his team untill gyardados looked like it was gunna faint me, but it clutched a freeze with blizzard and completely saved me. the don of all ducks

How good was Hippowdown actually? i want the hippo.

Golduck and Psiduck are all over Paldea. I think I see these two more than any other pokemon. Might be getting the Primeape treatment soon.

Golduck is one of those Pokemon that I see so little to the point where it almost feels like it's a fakemon

[@Jellycent13]
