==Appearances==
  +
===In the anime===
  +
[[File:180px-Golduck anime.png|thumb|right|180px|Golduck in the Anime]]
  +
In ''[[OI010: Bye Bye Psyduck|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', [[Misty (anime)|Misty]] saw a Golduck and she thought [[Misty's Psyduck|her Psyduck]] evolved, but it was just a wild Golduck that had similar behaviors to [[Brock (anime)|Brock]]. In ''[[JE101: The Perfect Match!|The Perfect Match]]'', [[Trinity]] used a Golduck to battle Misty in the Whirl Cup.
   
  +
===In the manga===
  +
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, [[Blue (game)|Blue]] owns a Golduck and uses it to Surf and battle.
   
  +
==Trivia==
  +
*Despite its name, Golduck is blue instead of gold.
  +
**It is rumoured that [[Psyduck]] and Golduck had their names mixed up, due to the fact that Psyduck has a golden texture and Golduck looks more like a Psychic Pokémon.
  +
*Despite possessing [[Telekinesis]] and Psychic powers, Golduck is not part {{Type|Psychic}}-type.
  +
*Despite being able to use Psychic powers, Golduck and its pre-evolution, Psyduck, could not learn [[Psychic (move)|Psychic]] until [[Generation IV]], despite being a [[TM]], too.
   
  +
===Origins===
  +
Golduck appears to be based off a [[:wikipedia:duck|duck]] or [[:wikipedia:platypus|platypus]] whilst its name comes from ''gold'' and ''duck''.

Golduck in the Anime

In Bye Bye Psyduck, Misty saw a Golduck and she thought her Psyduck evolved, but it was just a wild Golduck that had similar behaviors to Brock. In The Perfect Match, Trinity used a Golduck to battle Misty in the Whirl Cup.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Blue owns a Golduck and uses it to Surf and battle.

Trivia

  • Despite its name, Golduck is blue instead of gold.
    • It is rumoured that Psyduck and Golduck had their names mixed up, due to the fact that Psyduck has a golden texture and Golduck looks more like a Psychic Pokémon.
  • Despite possessing Telekinesis and Psychic powers, Golduck is not part Psychic-type.
  • Despite being able to use Psychic powers, Golduck and its pre-evolution, Psyduck, could not learn Psychic until Generation IV, despite being a TM, too.

Origins

Golduck appears to be based off a duck or platypus whilst its name comes from gold and duck.
