CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Psyduck’s vacant gaze conceals a persistent headache. When the pain becomes too strong, psychic power may burst out without its choosing to release it. Its apparent tranquillity is deceptive: this Pokémon endures a strain that others cannot see. Stress worsens its condition further, giving its sudden displays of power a far less triumphant meaning.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

On Detective Pikachu's Psyduck, its attack deals 10 damage, but the consequence also affects the attacker: it becomes Confused. No coin flip is mentioned for that effect. Psyduck's Confusion therefore accompanies every hit, even when the 10 damage successfully reaches the opponent.
