She got a signature ability in gen 3 and 4 thobeit. That was enough.

it will never be as good as psyduck so who cares?
>>
>>59214957
Suffers 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.
>>
>>59214998
Probably 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.

They should not give whole new evolutions to regional forms the og lack
>>
>>59214957
Swap 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
>>
>>59214957
Golduck 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.

Yes him, civilized societies defeat to the superior sex. Cope or rope tranny

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

>>
>>59215059
What are you fucking talking about?
With exclusion of Gen 1 and 3, Psyduck is appearing exclusively as early game encounter.
>>
>>59215059
You can get a Psyduck before every other Water type in Sinnoh besides Piplup & Magikarp
>>
>>59215079
>>59215156

Some 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 golduck
Why tho?
>>
>>59215059
so many people used psyduck in bw2, in dppt, in xy, in sm... you're wrong man lmao
>>
>>59215244
Why do you write like such a fag?
>>
>>59214957
The 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.
>>
>>59215236
So the gold duck is gold, I guess
>>
>>59214957
Give it an evo.
>>
>>59215244
No 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-game
lmao

Oh no

Wrong and wrong, rope yourself
>>
>>59214957
it was pretty damn good in 2016 gen 7 vgc iirc. maybe we need to just restrict nearly every other swift swim user
>>
>>59214957
He 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.
>>
>>59216710
Literally more useful than removal.

A little overkill but had gemini produce this, kinda what im imagining
>>
>>59216671
mankind, not personkind lol sucked in loser
>>
>>59216710
It 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.

I 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.
>>
>>59219310
Golduck is canonically weaker than Psyduck so it needs that raincoat to restore its weather manipulation powers

You'd figure Arbok would get something if the other gen one mono poison types got something.

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.
>>

I think he's good as he is if anything

How about an evo that becomes a surfer bro or something

Fearow
>Regional variant
Nidoking/Queen
>Shared Mega design with small variation, knowing Game Freak
>Parasect
Ghost/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?
>Seaking
Evolution
>Hypno
Evolution called Mesmereyes, uses its pendulum like a monocle when it's concentrating. Looks a bit like a Greek philosopher.
>Venomoth
Bug/Electric regional variant
>Kabutops/Master
I 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.
>>
>>59214957
Compound Eyes.
Perfectly accurate Hydro Pump, and reliable Focus Blast/Blizzard. Instant niche.
