Golduck may be a combination of ''gold'' and ''duck''. While Golduck itself is not colored gold, gold is often used in the Pokémon canon to symbolize the {{t|Psychic}} type: the [[Gold Gummi]] is the [[Gummi]] variety loved by Psychic-type Pokémon, and the {{Badge|Marsh}}'s Japanese name is "Gold Badge". | Golduck may be a combination of ''gold'' and ''duck''.
