Misty's Psyduck: Difference between revisions

Line 45: Line 45:
Misty's Psyduck 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 confused about how it pulled such a feat off. Its motivation for jumping out of its Poké Ball remains unknown, as it clearly does not enjoy or excel at battling. Even in the episode ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', it pushed Ash aside, wild with anger at Team Rocket's abduction of Misty (she had been captured saving him) and insisting on battling. However, after a few seconds, it completely forgot what it was doing and went back to looking confused.

Psyduck seems to truly love and care for Misty. Despite its faults, it always tries to be there for her, whether she likes it or not. Misty constantly complains about Psyduck's faults, but many suspect that she actually deeply cares for Psyduck - she has never considered releasing it (though she tried trading it for Brock's Vulpix in The Ninja Poké-Showdown , though it has been suggested several times; she instantly shoots down such ideas, such as when [[Koga]] and {{an|Aya}} both offered a [[trade]] with her. Her antagonistic relationship with it is often compared to her [[PokéShipping|relationship]] with {{Ash}}. It could also be compared with [[Jessie]]'s relationship with her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.

For comic purposes, Misty seems to go to the limit of violence with Psyduck, such as when she suggested she smash a bike on Psyduck's head in order to activate its psychic powers. Psyduck is quite unconcerned to these threats of violence, perhaps because it knows how Misty truly feels.
