When a {{p|Drowzee}} nullified the waves, the Pokémon were cured, except for a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Psyduck}} that [[Nurse Joy]] had been looking after due to a chronic {{wp|headache}}. {{an|Brock}} wanted to impress her, so he promised to take care of the Duck Pokémon. Later, it was discovered that Psyduck had a permanent headache, so Brock passed it off to Misty because she is a {{type|Water}} specialist. Misty tried to avoid Psyduck, but she accidentally caught it when she dropped a {{i|Poké Ball}} that subsequently rolled towards Psyduck. Psyduck tapped the Ball's control with its bill twice and essentially {{pkmn2|caught}} itself by accident. | ||
Out of all of Misty's early Pokémon, Psyduck is arguably the one with the most personality. Psyduck does not like to stay in its Poké Ball, and will usually pop out according to its mood. This personality trait came in handy quite a bit - when Misty or her other Pokémon were captured, it was usually Psyduck who escaped and ran to get help. However, Psyduck also tends to frustrate Misty, often emerging for a {{pkmn|battle}} when Misty would prefer to use another Pokémon. Although in these cases Psyduck generally manages to win thanks to its Psychic [[Move|attacks]]. | Out of all of Misty's early Pokémon, Psyduck is arguably the one with the most personality.

In ''[[ | In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', Misty grew frustrated with Psyduck's chronic headaches and tried to [[trade]] it with Brock for his {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}, though he refused. Later on, when {{TRT}} was attacking the [[Fuchsia Gym]], Psyduck popped out of its Poké Ball when Misty attempted to send out {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. Misty tried battling with it, but its {{m|Tail Whip}} and {{m|Scratch}} were useless against {{TP|James|Weezing}} and {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. Although the battle seemed lost, Psyduck's headache grew strong enough to unlock its {{t|Psychic}} abilities and sent Team Rocket blasting off. [[Koga]] and [[Aya]] both offered to trade for Psyduck after witnessing its strength, but Misty declined, claiming she wouldn't trade Psyduck for the world. | ||

It managed to defeat [[Jessie]]'s newly-acquired {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}, who had easily defeated the rest of Misty's temporary team of {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and Vulpix. This made Misty the winner of the competition and earned her a [[Pokémon doll]] collection as a prize. | ||
Misty left Psyduck at a breeding center in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', unaware that it was a scheme by [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] to steal Pokémon. The group visited a nearby restaurant, learning they could get an all-you-can-eat meal for free if they could bring the chef his favorite Pokémon: a Psyduck. Shocked, Misty and the group head back to the breeding center to retrieve Psyduck, only to find it closed and soon uncover that it is a Team Rocket scheme. After facing police custody and a battle against Team Rocket, Misty and Psyduck are reunited and return to the restaurant to enjoy the all-you-can-eat offer. | |||

Misty's Psyduck can easily be described as dimwitted and absent-minded. | 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 managed to pull off such a feat. Psyduck's motivation for jumping out of his Poké Ball remains unknown, as he clearly does not enjoy or excel at battling. | ||

Psyduck cannot swim, which is unusual for its species. In deep water, it will panic and flail about, like a non-swimmer afraid of drowning. On one occasion, Psyduck was given a lifebelt for it to enjoy the water. It also has trouble in battle. It knows several powerful {{type|Psychic}} techniques, but can only use them when its headaches become severe. | Psyduck cannot swim, which is unusual for its species.
