Water/Psychic
Why isn't Psyduck classified as water/psychic, instead of just water? Aiddat 01:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Why don't you ask Satoshi Taijiri himself?--Pokencyclopedia 10:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Heh, somebody probably just forgot something. I mean, when they designed the Pokemon. Aiddat 11:58, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe because only Psyduck's psychic move learned by level is Confusion. The other Pokémon Water/Psychic (for example Staryu or Slowpoke) can learn more psychic moves by level. --Valepert 12:05, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

But Still, what other Water Types learn Psychic Moves. Plus I love Psychic Types so the more the merrier! --Asujoll the Psychic Master
