The Ultimate Golduck Thread



If you've been living under a rock, then here is a very brief introduction of who Golduck is.

Introduction

Golduck (Number 55) are large bipedal ducks, with blue skin and strong, webbed appendages that given them the ability to swim at high speeds. Due to their bluish color and webbed hands and feet, Golduck are sometimes mistaken for Kappa. They have more formidable psychic powers than the Psyduck they evolve from, and they lose the headaches that they constantly suffer from. The gem on their foreheads glows when they use psychic powers as well as when they swim at full speed.

They live in fresh-water lakes and rivers, where they are seen gracefully swimming, especially at dusk. As the fastest swimmers out of all Pokémon, they can out swim even the most athletic of humans, though they often train with swimmers. As they are able to swim in severe storms, they are sometimes found rescuing people lost at sea from danger.



Personal Opinion

Golduck is a Kanto original. I've always liked this pokemon. I mean just look at em, he looks so sleek and is quite mysterious. Sometimes I think he is one of the most underated pokemon of all. Personally as well, I think he should have been Water/Psychic just like Slowking and Starmie. Why he isn't...I'll never know.



Brawl Bound??

Well...it's hard to say that he'll make it as a playable character.:( I know, the truth hurts like hell. Still, I think he'd **** the whole competition if he were in Brawl with his telekinetic abilities. Again, he's not likely seeing how alot of other pokemon *coughcoughlucariocoughcoughcoughcoughmewtwocoughcough are way way popular than him. Che.....he's just a big fish in a little pond in his franchise.

Moveset

Triple A- Golduck hits you with two standard haymakers and on the third attack he hits you with his tail.

Standard B- "Confusion" Golduck eyes turn sky blue to activate his psychic power and holds his right hand towards his opponent. A blue aura surrounds his opponent. Golduck then launches his foe to any direction he likes with a great amount of force. You can use your foe as a projectile.

Forward B- "Hyper Beam" Golduck fires a beam of mass destruction from the jewel from his head. This move can be charged for more damage.

Down B- "Hypnosis/Dream Eater"- Golduck puts his foe to sleep and then drains their HP and recovers his back.

Up B- "Hydro Pump"- Golduck fires a substantial amount of water toward the floor enabling him to come back on the stage. This move last for 4 and a half seconds and then he is vulnerable.

Up A- "Zen Headbutt"- Golduck hits you with his dome with a blue aura around him for more damage.

Down A "Iron Tail"- Golduck's tail glows white as he smacks you away with Iron Tail.

Forward A "Ice Punch"- Golduck smashes his opponent in the face with a chilling punch. If his opponent reaches at least 75% damage, they are launched in the air frozen.

Standard A "Substitute"- Golduck dissappears and lays a doll of him on the field. If his opponent hits it, three ice shard spears are launched at him instantly. Then Golduck reappears.

Taunts 1. Golduck finger glows like this.

Taunt 2. Golduck flexes his muscles.

Taunt 3. Golduck takes a nap in the air with his psychic powers and puts his hand on his face.

Alternate Colors

KUDOS TO JJJ BRAWLER! Gracias!

Thank you for reading this thread in all of it's entirety. Hopefully we'll see the God of all water pokemon in atleast as a pokeball.

Golduck's Final Smash "ESP Hidden Power" Golduck goes to the center of the screen and covers himself with a sphere Cerulean barrier making him invincible to all attacks. Anyone who tries gets damaged. Then Golduck activates hidden power and controls the pellets with his telekinetic powers. The pellets zoom around the screen damaging all of his opponents.

Ugh, how I wish lol. Golduck is way too awesome in the games (its a favorite of mine to train), but that seems to fly right over Mr. Sakurai's head... :p

I FU*KING LOVE YOU!!!!

Golduck is my favorite Pokemon, and is the only newcomer Pokemon that I actually WANT in Brawl!
:cool: Actually T-Major, I've seen one of your posts today and I was like "Golduck.....GOLDUCK!! This is what the character section is missing! So thanks a million for giving me the insight to make this awesome thread.

Well....give it to me straight guys. Is Golduck popular in Japan and how well did he do in the polls? And for you non believers out their, Golduck can atleast....ATLEAST make it as a pokeball.

I'd say Psyduck has a better chance at anything because it is just more popular. But both still unlikely...for anything.

Hey bro, you remember that episode that Misty got a hold of a Golduck that wasn't hers? He did all sorts of telekinetic stuff like manipulating water and such. Wow, he was like so bad@ss in that episode.

After that, he was like one of my all time favorite pokemon.

Normally, I'd have to stamp a big FAILURE stamp on this thread because Golduck is so obscure...

but that moveset is so incredibly awesome that it actually made me want him as a playable character.

Golduck for Brawl! :psycho:

i still think any newcomer pokemon will be 3rd and 4th gen (mainly 4th)

the pokemon trainer doesnt count because the idea of the 3 starters was made and then they probably decided on the most favorite\\





and yes lucario before anything at this point lol

Well it's nice to know that some people are coming around!;) Oh and thanks for your comment about my moveset. Yep, it's pretty pimp.

@Cinder, oh c'mon! I'm sure that people would stamp him as the new "WTF" character in Brawl and Squirtle and Golduck are 2 water pokemon too many, but still he could be in it. Especially if somehow Misty makes it to the game. After all, she was a trophy in Brawl so she could make it just like Pokemon Trainer. I know she'd have Golduck in her arsenal!

Yeah.....I'll admit it though. Lucario >>>>> Golduck.

wow thats just......no

1 i think psyduck would be in her "arsenal" not golduck
2 if she was going to be in, i would expect poke trainer to be ash instead because they were focusing on show characters
3 btw nice moveset and i think multiple pokemon of the same type is irrelivant

What's up with all these [random pokemon] for brawl threads? They have no chances for being in brawl whatsoever except for being in a pokeball. You must be incredibly dumb to think that Golduck even has the slightest chance of being a playable character.

actually jigglypuff was pretty random other than the fact she has a huge fan-base, and look what happened

a few factors
1 sakurai could like him
2 lots of japanese or international fans (that we dont know of and he does)
3 easy good moveset
4 humanoid pokemon
5 water pokemon ftw (although i personally love kabutops)

Are you a total illitterate Dokuro? You must be because I specifically said his chances weren't that high because of the more popular 3rd and 4th generation of pokemon. That and Mewtwo and Jiggs could be making an all star comeback.

Listen up, go read my first post in all it's entirety and then post something worth looking at.

That's right baby!!

Kanto >>>>> Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh combined! That's were it all started! Woot!

Yeah, it's possible for him to have a pretty sweet moveset too seeing how he can learn slew of TM's and has a great learnset. Man, I want em soooo badly to make an appearance!!

I really wish he had a stronger fan base. He's just to sleek of a pokemon not to. Meh....I suppose things like this can't be helped.
he has a lot of fans

but on the subject on ducks, how about psyduck pokeball, psyduck comes out and stands there, after he take a certain amount of hits he gets a headache and launches confusion

......but not enough fans that want him in Brawl as a playable. That's what I'm getting at. I blame Lucario, Mewtwo, Pikachu, Pichu, and Jigglypuff. Golduck should have been a playable since day one, namly in Smash 64. sigh.....well he can still make it as a pokeball.

And that's a pretty good idea bro. *nods and agrees*

Golduck is cool, and all but I doubt he will ever be playable. I doubt he will even be in a pokeball. Even the duck hunt ducks have a higher chance of appearing.
