In-Depth Analysis
Golduck's 500 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Special Attack (95) carries most matchups, but a low Defense stat of 78 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Water combination gives Golduck 4 resistances and 2 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 3 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 75 puts Golduck in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
