In ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'', the Pokémon of [[HopHopHop Town]] had been turned listless by the {{t|Psychic}} waves produced by a {{p|Hypno}}.

Not wanting the continuously ailing Pokémon, Brock ended up passing it off to Misty because she is a {{type|Water}} specialist. Misty tried to avoid the little thing, but she ended up capturing it by accident 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. | ||

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Misty mistakenly used it during the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]], the main event in the annual [[Princess Festival]]. 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 {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. This made Misty the winner of the competition and earned her a [[Pokémon doll]] collection as a prize. | In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Misty mistakenly used it during the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]], the main event in the annual [[Princess Festival]].
