In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Golduck is a Pokémon that is easy to overlook. This Pokémon can be a strong addition to a team with its sole Water-typing and its special attack stat. Golduck will evolve from Psyduck (at level 33).
Golduck's sole Water-typing means that most of its powerful moves will also be Water-type. This is due to S.T.A.B. (Same Type Attack Bonus), which allows Pokémon to use moves that match their typing to do increased damage. Golduck's strongest attacks are Hydro Pump, Aqua Tail, Zen Headbutt, and Water Pulse.
| Move Name | Move Type | Category | Power | Accuracy | PP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hydro Pump | Water | Special | 165 | 80 | 5 |
| Aqua Tail | Water | Physical | 135 | 90 | 10 |
| Zen Headbutt | Psychic | Physical | 80 | 90 | 15 |
| Water Pulse | Water | Special | 90 | 100 | 20 |
Golduck will learn Hydro Pump at level 43 (masters at level 54), Aqua Tail at level 34 (masters at level 45), Zen Headbutt at level 25 (masters at level 35), and Water Pulse at level 11 (masters at level 20).
