==History==

Blue obtained Golduck as a {{p|Psyduck}} and evolved him sometime prior to ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]''. He first appeared in ''A Tale of Ninetales'', when Golduck was accidentally [[trade]]d to {{adv|Red}} alongside Blue's other Pokémon. During the three days that Red had them, he attempted to get them to relax and open up to him, with little success. They later traded back, while keeping the caring attitude that Red instilled in them.

In ''[[PS028|Peace of Mime]]'', Golduck teamed up with [[Pika]] in order to break into [[Saffron City]]. Pika uses his {{m|Substitute}} to get past the barrier and Golduck used {{m|Confusion}} to pass the information back to their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Inside the city, Pika ran into the one who created the barrier, a {{p|Mr. Mime}}. Despite Mr. Mime's evasive attempts, a coordinated {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Pika successfully defeats the Barrier Pokémon, lifting the barrier.

In a flashback shown in ''[[PS052|Growing Out of Gengar]]'', Golduck helped Blue in his battle against [[Agatha]], where he channeled Blue's thoughts to his [[Pokédex]] to communicate with [[Evan]]  while he was trapped in a {{m|Dream Eater}} attack and had to distract her {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}}.  

In ''[[PS072|Weezing Winks Out]]'', Golduck fought against Agatha, using his Confusion attack to defeat her and her {{p|Arbok}}. In ''[[PS077|Striking Golduck]]'', Golduck was called out to fight Agatha's Gengar but was quickly defeated after his opponent launched an attack from the shadows.

In ''[[PS273|Red and Blue Make Purple Opponents]]'', Golduck was used alongside {{TP|Blue|Porygon2}} in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Snor]] and [[Gyara]]. Gyara started the battle off with his [[Ability]] {{a|Intimidate}}, and Blue responded by having Golduck use {{m|Iron Tail}} and Porygon2 use {{m|Tri Attack}} on Red's Pokémon. Red then had Gyara counterattack with {{m|Body Slam}} on Porygon2, while Snor attacks Golduck with {{m|Strength}}. Gyara next uses {{m|Hyper Beam}} on Golduck, and Golduck uses {{m|Dig}} to hide and avoid further damage. Red countered by having Snor use {{m|Earthquake}}, dealing damage to Porygon2, twice the damage to Golduck due to him being underground, which caused him to faint, and Gyara being unaffected due to him being part {{type|Flying}}.

In ''[[PS301|Storming the Forretress]]'', after {{adv|Giovanni}} was defeated and [[Carr]] sent the [[Team Rocket airship|airship]] containing him, his {{adv|Silver|son}}, his loyal subordinates, and enemies crashing, Golduck and [[Blasty]] used {{m|Hydro Pump}} to try to keep the airship in place with {{TP|Blue|Rhydon}} using {{m|Megahorn}}. However, ultimately, it was {{adv|Mew}} who saved it from crashing.

In ''[[PS334|The Final Battle VII]]'', Golduck appeared alongside the rest of Blue's team when he was checking to make sure they all survived the petrification caused by {{adv|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Darkrai}}.
