Best moves for Golduck in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

What are the best moves for the Duck Pokémon?

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.
