Description Psyduck are interesting animals. Originally thought to be some kind of bird due to the bill, it has been found to be a mammal.

Living primarily in fresh water, they can be found in swampy like areas where they can be seen swimming deep under the water, returning with clumps of weed or occasionally a fish.

They are known for not being the most smart creatures, however if trained correctly can be powerful allies due to its surprisingly powerful psychic abilities. These abilities have been associated to self defense, rather than offensive attacks as they only tend to be powerful when the pokemon is scared, angry or in pain. Many Psyduck's are effected by strong migraines that amplify these attacks, however causing them a great deal of pain.

They are also strong water pokemon and have a powerful water bladder that can hold many gallons of water at a time.

Hope you like it

---------

Many of you voted to Psyduck being a platypus rather than an actual duck, so sorry to all you people who wanted it as a bird

An interesting idea! I love it! I think it is plausible sense Psyduck as arms instead of wings.

I never thought of a platypus. I always thought of them dumb but lovable big ducks.

So that would mean the platypus evolves into a kappa?

"They are also strong water pokemon and have a powerful water bladder that can hold many gallons of water at a time."

You forgot to add that emptying their bladder takes 5-10 minutes; faster if they hear running water.

I like the fact that its a platypus essentially. I often imagine a realistic live action movie of pokemon, and the pokemon interpretations for all your work seem like they would fit the bill ( no pun intended with this being psyduck ).

First. AWWWSO CUTE! Second, this looks WAY BETTER than actual Psyduck. It looks more like it could actually exist than the original, which kinda looks like a butter sculpture now that I think about it...

Anyway, a nice somewhat eerie scene here. It's neat seeing the creature look somewhat normal when done realistically.

I think it makes more sense as a platypus.
Farfetch'd is more like an actual duck than Psyduck is. And people eat Farfetch'd, not Psyduck. XD

I assume we'll be seeing Golduck soon?
That'll be another of my main team that you've brought into your awesome artform.

Considering the weird biology of Pokemon in general, I'm completely behind Psyduck not being a real bird! Cool explanation, and great drawing!
