Which deck it belongs in

Psyduck works well in control decks that aim to limit their opponent's options rather than focusing on powerful attacks.

Strengths
  • Reduces the risk of self-destructive moves by opponents
  • Flexible with its ability to dampen both yours and your opponent's Pokémon
Watch out for
  • Its Ram attack is basic and does not provide much extra effect
  • It relies on Energy efficiency for optimal use
Pro tip

Pair Psyduck with a strategy that maximizes the impact of its ability, such as decks focusing on opponent control.

From the Pokédex

Psyduck often plays in shallow waters near human settlements, making it a curious sight for beachgoers.

Note for the parent

Consider using Psyduck in decks where you want to disrupt your opponent's strategies without relying heavily on offensive power.
