'''Golduck''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴルダック''' ''Golduck'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.
'''Golduck''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴルダック''' ''Golduck'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Psyduck}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Golduck is a blue, bipedal, {{wp|duck}}, or {{wp|platypus}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has red eyes, a cream-colored beak, a red gem in the center of its forehead, and four spikes on the back of its head. Its hands and feet all have three clawed digits with cream-colored webbing in between. Its body is specially adapted to have a hydrodynamic shape, and it has a long tail that it uses as a rudder to steer. Golduck is sometimes mistaken for the Japanese monster, and the physical inspiration for Golduck, the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|Kappa}} due to its general humanoid shape, beak, and webbed hands and feet.
Golduck have webbed hands and feet, ending in broad flippers, which they use to swim in rivers and lakes, much in the way as a duck would move. Their blue bodies are especially adapted to have a great hydrodynamic shape, and they have long tails with which they use to steer. Due to their bluish color and webbed hands and feet, Golduck are sometimes mistaken for the Japanese monster and physical inspiration for Golduck, the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|Kappa}}. Golduck also have red irises, a small, red sphere on their forehead, and four spikes on their head. Though Golduck have no wings, only webbed hands and feet, it is still deemed as a duck instead of a platypus.


====Gender differences====
Golduck is a fast swimmer, capable of out-swimming even the most athletic of humans because of its webbed appendages. Even rough seas do not hamper this Pokémon's swimming abilities, and it will sometimes rescue people from shipwrecks. The [[TCG]] [[Golduck (Sun & Moon 29)|depicts]] Golduck with the ability to shoot massive jets of water form both of its hands simultaneously, using them to propel itself underwater. The gem on its forehead glows when it uses its psychic powers, and occasionally when it swims at full speed. In the past, this Pokémon was overhunted due to the belief that the gem granted people supernatural powers. As seen in [[PS028|Pokémon Adventures]], Golduck has the ability to give knowledge to its Trainer and fellow Pokémon through telepathy. Golduck can typically be seen swimming in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|lakes}}, where it hunts fish. The prey is disabled, captured, and then brought to shore for consumption. Old tales claim Golduck punishes those who defile their rivers by dragging them in and taking them away. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Golduck is known to paddle its webbed limbs while sleeping.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>It is believed Golduck is dreaming about swimming.
None.


====Special abilities====
Prior to [[Generation V]], Golduck and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Psyduck}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Cloud Nine}} as an [[Ability]].
Golduck are fast swimmers, outswimming even the most athletic of humans because of their frog-like webbed hands and feet. The gem on their foreheads glows when they use their psychic powers, and occasionally when they swim at full speed, suggesting that they sometimes use those powers to swim.


===Behavior===
<gallery>
It has been noted that Golduck will often join swimmers when training. They are sometimes found rescuing people lost at sea from danger, their heads shimmering from the telekinetic powers that allow them do so. The headaches that ridiculed its Basic evolution form, {{p|Psyduck}}, don’t trouble Golduck, allowing them to have full use of their formidable mental powers.

===Evolution===

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In some of its Pokédex entries, it mentions Golduck using telekinetic powers. Despite this, it is not a {{type2|Psychic}}, but it can learn a few Psychic-type moves.
**Golduck, along with its pre-evolution, couldn't learn {{m|Psychic}} through TM until [[Generation IV]], even though the TM itself existed in every generation.
*Golduck's Platinum sprites are the only ones that show it with a hooked bill, though its Sugimori artwork also shows this. Its HeartGold and SoulSilver sprite also shows this, although not as clearly.
*The red jewel that is found on Golduck's head is not depicted on its card from the [[Fossil (TCG)]] set.
===Origin===
===Origin===
Golduck's physical appearance has aspects of a duck, a {{wp|duck-billed platypus}}, and {{wp|Kappa (mythical creature)|Kappa}} - water imps from Japanese folklore.

====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Golduck, in both Japanese and English, is a portmanteau of gold and duck, despite the fact that it is blue, not gold, in color.
Golduck may be a combination of ''gold'' and ''duck''. While Golduck itself is not colored gold, gold is often used to {{wp|Gold (color)#Parapsychology|symbolize the psychic abilities}}: the {{DL|Gummi|Gold Gummi}} is the Gummi variety loved by Psychic-type Pokémon, and the {{Badge|Marsh}}'s Japanese name is "Gold Badge".
