Psyduck
#165 in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Pokédex • Duck Pokémon
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.
