When a {{p|Drowzee}} nullified the waves, the Pokémon were cured, with the exception of a {{pkmn2|wild}} 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-like Pokémon. | ||
Later, it was discovered that Psyduck had a permanent headache. Not wanting the continuously ailing Pokémon, Brock ended up passing it off to Misty because she is a {{type2|Water}} specialist. Misty tried to avoid the little thing, but she ended up capturing it by accident when she dropped a [[Poké Ball]] that subsequently rolled towards Psyduck. Psyduck tapped the ball's control with its bill twice and essentially captured itself. | Later, it was discovered that Psyduck had a permanent headache.

Out of all of Misty's early Pokémon, Psyduck is arguably the one with the most personality. It was heavily featured, and appears in many episodes, although its appearances started to grow sparse during the [[Johto]] saga. | Out of all of Misty's early Pokémon, Psyduck is arguably the one with the most personality.

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. Psyduck does not like to stay in its [[Poké Ball]], and will usually pop out according to its mood. This personality trait has come in handy quite a bit - when Misty or her other Pokémon are captured, it is usually Psyduck who escapes and runs to get help. However, it also tends to frustrate Misty, as it results in Psyduck sometimes 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]]). | Psyduck seems to truly love and care for Misty.

Psyduck has trouble swimming, which is unusual for its species. In deep water it will panic and flail about, like a non-swimmer afraid of drowning | Psyduck has trouble swimming, which is unusual for its species. In deep water it will panic and flail about, like a non-swimmer afraid of drowning. It also has trouble in battle. It knows several powerful {{type2|Psychic}} techniques, but can only use them when its headache is severe. When Psyduck battled [[Tyra]]'s {{p|Cloyster}} in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', Misty considered trying to boost its power by slamming a [[Bicycle|bike]] onto its head. | ||
Misty constantly complains about Psyduck's faults, but many suspect that she actually deeply cares for Psyduck - she has never considered getting rid of it, though it has been suggested several times; she instantly shoots down such ideas, such as when [[Koga]] and [[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}}. | Misty constantly complains about Psyduck's faults, but many suspect that she actually deeply cares for Psyduck - she has never considered getting rid of it, though it has been suggested several times; she instantly shoots down such ideas, such as when [[Koga]] and [[Aya]] both offered a [[trade]] with her.
