    Shield

  3. Psyduck is constantly beset by headaches. If the Pokémon lets its strange power erupt, apparently the pain subsides for a while.

    Sword

  4. Always tormented by headaches. It uses psychic powers, but whether it intends to do so is not known.

    Let’s Go, Pikachu! · Let’s Go, Eevee!

  5. It has been found that its brain cells are 10 times more active when Psyduck is experiencing a headache.

    Ultra Moon

  6. Using psychokinesis gives it a headache, so it normally passes the time spacing out and doing as little as possible.

    Ultra Sun

  7. This Pokémon is troubled by constant headaches. The more pain it’s in, the more powerful its psychokinesis becomes.

    Moon

  8. As a result of headaches so fierce they cause it to cry, it sometimes uses psychokinesis without meaning to.

  9. When headaches stimulate its brain cells, which are usually inactive, it can use a mysterious power.

    Black 2 · White 2

    Sapphire · Alpha Sapphire

  16. 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.

    Ruby · Omega Ruby

  17. The only time it can use its psychic power is when its sleeping brain cells happen to wake.

    Crystal

  18. If its chronic headache peaks, it may exhibit odd powers. It seems unable to recall such an episode.

    Silver · SoulSilver

  19. It has mystical powers but doesn't recall that it has used them. That is why it always looks puzzled.

    Gold · HeartGold · Y

  20. Always tormented by headaches. It uses psychic powers, but it is not known if it intends to do so.
