lol ! The duck takes that so well lol
Yeah lmao psyduck is supposed to counter groudon, kyogre and al nintales by resisting all, taunting veil, and yawning them
also cloud nine
So basic but makes perfect sense
Have you seen him being used more often ? I’ve seen him around more lately
Would work well with Zacian taking away the weather boost haha
Does he learning helping hand ?
yes he does
I put him on my team bc my friend's fav pokemon is psyduck and he said "If you fit psyduck onto a team, ill start using showdown"
He seems tanky enough
Golduck kinda tanky in special defence seem it actually works really well
It would be fun in vgc
I might use psyduck more offen in doubles too, it learns helping hand, counters weather, can endavor and yawn
it's a lot bulkier than golduck lol

Encore underrated
Just started using it on my Clefairy also
Non prankster encores are o.p
Encore feels beter in singles IMO
cinccino sweeps lmao
Yeah ! Sometimes we can catch them like they’re always tying to protect to time out my trick room
Encore will put them in a fucked position
baiting them to setup with tidy up but then encoring works so well
