>no mega>no gigantamax>no signature moves>no signature abilities>no regional variants>basically no nothinghow would you fix him?
>>59214957>him>50% female
>>59214957She got a signature ability in gen 3 and 4 thobeit. That was enough.
>>59214957it will never be as good as psyduck so who cares?
>>59214957Suffers from almost evenly distributed stats. You can't do much if your highest stat is 95 Special Attack and your lowest is 78 Defense despite the fact it's an 500 BST mon. Needs an evo or a regional + evo. I don't want it to be Water/Psychic as that type already thrives in many great mons. Either they take the evo or the regional to an unexpected way or gave the evo the Psychic equivalent of Steelworker. Being pure Water is more beneficial defensively than gaining the Psychic-type.
>>59214998Probably an evo so the people who actually like the original can see their actual bro get a buff.I would hate if I brought something like a Farfetch’d all the way from Red or something, and could never see him reach the full potential that is Sirfetch’d, just as an example. I like regional forms, but there should be some way to transform one regional into another. Have Bill help by altering their DNA or something.
>>59215003>him>50% female
>>59215003They should not give whole new evolutions to regional forms the og lack
>>59214957Swap the colors between psyduck and golduck. Add that psychic type to both they so desperately need for lore reasons.That's about it really. They're alright mons with a typing full of alright mons. They're available in every generation. The utility of having access to psychic is good enough for solo play. Balancing around competitive is a shitshow since competitive is so unbalanced, balancing around it leads to imbalance.
Psyduck -> Mega Psyduck
give her primordial sea
>>59214957Golduck is based for in-game but there's no games that really let you get early Psyduck. All the cool Gen 1 Water types are like this: only available after Fuschia when Surfing, as in you would already have a Water Pokemon.
>>59214963>>59215030Yes him, civilized societies defeat to the superior sex. Cope or rope tranny
>>59214957>Get a Mega>80/102/88/105/130/95 statline and Synchronize as ability (get it? It’s Synchronized Swimmer!!!), still mono Water>Design makes it fatter like Psyduck, gives it swimmer cap replacing its crown, and gets goggles>Get Gmax form>Gmax move replaces Max Geyser and removes current weather conditions>Design is cartoonishly oversided brain and an obese Golduck just like Psyduck>Get Signature move>70 BP bullet move that has a 20% chance to cause Confusion>Signature ability>They just rename Cloud Nine to Psyweather Control>Regional Variant>Water/Fighting that loses 5 Speed to put into Atk>Design is just a Darker Blue, hands are replaced by boxing gloves, and it loses that gem on its head
>>59215079Forgot to mention>Regional Varient replaces Swift Swim with Iron Fist>Regional Varient gets signature status move that turns off weather for 5 turns
Golduck is my first pick for getting an evolution in gen 10. I really, 100% expect it to evolve into a large, fat, yellow/gold duck that's water/psychic and that the localizers think they're so clever for naming "Bluduck"
Dexcut it for good. Fuck Masuda
>>59215116>Golgolduck>Mono Water>Evolves after leveling up with the 70 BP water type move from >>59215079>90/122/78/95/80/75>Water Absorb, Cloud Nine, Swift Swim>Now learns Extrasensory, Psychic Fangs, Aqua Cutter, and Shock Wave for some reason
>>59215059What are you fucking talking about?With exclusion of Gen 1 and 3, Psyduck is appearing exclusively as early game encounter.
>>59215059You can get a Psyduck before every other Water type in Sinnoh besides Piplup & Magikarp
>>59215079>>59215156Some game should have a fakemon like this, slightly uneven but balanced base stats, mediocre signature ability, move and held item. mega that gives slightly more defenses then offenses so its still uneven but other way
>>59215041>Swap the colors between psyduck and golduckWhy tho?
>>59215059so many people used psyduck in bw2, in dppt, in xy, in sm... you're wrong man lmao
>>59215244Why do you write like such a fag?
>>59214957The primal groudon/ mega fug slayer is perfect as is
Mega that cranks his speed up and both attacks. Steelworker for psychic so he doesn't have to be weak to bug, ghost, and dark, but can use psychic moves. Give him expanding force. BAM, he's a psyspammer who's not weak to psychic weaknesses. There's his niche.
>>59215236So the gold duck is gold, I guess
>>59214957Give it an evo.
>>59215244No one used Psyduck in any of those. Psyduck is one of the most forced Pokémon period, just because it's Masuda's favorite. It shows up in nearly every game, but it's such a middling shitmon that people use any other early water type over it.
>>59215828>Junichi Masuda has revealed that Psyduck was considered for the role of Pikachu's counterpart in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! instead of Eevee, but it was ultimately not chosen due to it being deemed too similar in color to Pikachu.If Masuda had his way, Psyduck would be as big an industry plant nepobaby as Lucario.
>>59215828>No one used Psyduck in any of those.this man is claiming that nobody has ever used psyduck in-gamelmao
>>59214957>no megaslop >no dynaslop Oh no
>>59215078>Yes him, civilized societies defeat to the superior sex. Cope or rope trannyWrong and wrong, rope yourself
>>59214957it was pretty damn good in 2016 gen 7 vgc iirc. maybe we need to just restrict nearly every other swift swim user
>>59214957He should get a water/ghost or water/ice evo based on a ningen
Cloud Nine should just outright remove the weather. What it does now is totally useless.
>>59216710Literally more useful than removal.
A little overkill but had gemini produce this, kinda what im imagining
>>59216671mankind, not personkind lol sucked in loser
>>59216710It is useful. Rayquaza uses Airlock to tank Water Spouts from Kyogre, cuck Excadrill and not take chip, and can supercuck Solar Beam with it too.Though removing it and preventing Weather from changing would be better.
>>59215078>>59216800fentanyl is still poisonous, Arrest and desist granny
>>59216791kill yourself
>>59214957i just know it's mega would be atleast a top 10 design
>>59216826your mom
>>59216856this looks terrible
>>59214957psychic type evolution
>>59216861It can always get worse
HP 80Attack 82Defense 108 (+30)Special Attack 135 (+40)Special Defense 110 (+30)Speed 85Ability: Drizzle
>>59214957>Psyduck>learns multiple psychic moves>evolves to monowaterhuh?
>>59217033>hp 80>speed 85Into the trash it goes
>>59214957change its hidden ability to good as gold
>>59217033AI has gone too far this time
>>59217033I can't think of a lore-related reason why it's wearing a psyduck raincoat but I can imagine Gamefreak approving this just for the massive merch opportunities.
>>59219310Golduck is canonically weaker than Psyduck so it needs that raincoat to restore its weather manipulation powers
All gen 1 pokemon that got nothing.
>>59219331ditto got being the eggwhore
>>59219331You'd figure Arbok would get something if the other gen one mono poison types got something.
>>59219331It's amazing that despite their obvious popularity and iconic status and unique gender mechanic before gender was a real mechanic thing the Nidos have gotten no fan service from GF
>>59214998>Either they take the evo or the regional to an unexpected way or gave the evo the Psychic equivalent of Steelworker. Being pure Water is more beneficial defensively than gaining the Psychic-type.Mono-Water but with Psychic Surge + Expanding Force
We need a special Psyduck with an anime-inspired headache ability. Something like "every time he's hit, his Special Attack raises sharply." That sounds OP, but it's on Psyduck.
>>59214957Stats buffI think he's good as he is if anything
>>59214957How about an evo that becomes a surfer bro or something
>>59219331Ditto acquired the status of MC and jailbait
>>59219331Fearow>Regional variantNidoking/Queen>Shared Mega design with small variation, knowing Game Freak>ParasectGhost/Bug or Ghost/Grass evolution is what I'd normally suggest, but Parasect is actually technically a cicada too so I'd prefer a good timeline Parasect so that it's not stepping on Shedinja's niche. Maybe a Bug/Fairy variant?>SeakingEvolution >HypnoEvolution called Mesmereyes, uses its pendulum like a monocle when it's concentrating. Looks a bit like a Greek philosopher.>VenomothBug/Electric regional variant>Kabutops/MasterI can't see these guys get anything unless they get Megas like Aerodactyl or some sort of regional fake.
Some people ran Golduck in Reg H. Don't rememberehy though.
>>59214957Compound Eyes.Perfectly accurate Hydro Pump, and reliable Focus Blast/Blizzard. Instant niche.
