Crystal	The only time it can use its psy chic power is whenits sleeping brain cells happen to wake.
Ruby	PSYDUCK uses a mysterious power. When it does so, this POKéMON generates brain waves that aresupposedly only seen in sleepers. This discovery spurred controversy among scholars.
Sapphire	If it uses its mysterious power, PSYDUCK can’t remember having done so. It apparently can’t form a memory ofsuch an event because it goes into an altered state that is much like deep sleep.
Emerald	When its headache intensifies, it starts using strange powers. However, it has no recollection of its powers, so it always looks befuddled and bewildered.
FireRed	It is constantly wracked by a headache. When the headache turns intense, it begins using mysterious powers.
LeafGreen	While lulling its enemies with its vacant look, this wily POKéMON will use psychokinetic powers.
Diamond	If its usual headache worsens, it starts exhibiting odd powers. It can’t remember doing so, however.
Pearl	It never remembers using its odd powers, so it always tilts its head in puzzlement.
Platinum, Black, White	Overwhelmed by enigmatic abilities, it suffers a constant headache. It sometimes uses mysterious powers.
HeartGold	It has mystical powers but doesn’t recall that it has used them. That is why it always looks puzzled.

Omega Ruby	Psyduck uses a mysterious power. When it does so, this Pokémon generates brain waves that are supposedly only seen in sleepers. This discovery spurred controversy among scholars.
Alpha Sapphire	If it uses its mysterious power, Psyduck can’t remember having done so. It apparently can’t form a memory of such an event because it goes into an altered state that is much like deep sleep.
Sun	As a result of headaches so fierce they cause it to cry, it sometimes uses psychokinesis without meaning to.
Moon	This Pokémon is troubled by constant headaches. The more pain it’s in, the more powerful its psychokinesis becomes.
Ultra Sun	Using psychokinesis gives it a headache, so it normally passes the time spacing out and doing as little as possible.
Ultra Moon	It has been found that its brain cells are 10 times more active when Psyduck is experiencing a headache.
Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!	Always tormented by headaches. It uses psychic powers, but whether it intends to do so is not known.
Sword	Psyduck is constantly beset by headaches. If the Pokémon lets its strange power erupt, apparently the pain subsides for a while.
Shield	As Psyduck gets stressed out, its headache gets progressively worse. It uses intense psychic energy to overwhelm those around it.
Legends: Arceus	Suffers perpetual headaches. If the agony grows too great, Psyduck's latent power erupts, contrary to Psyduck's intent. Ergo, I am exploring ways to ease the pain.
