Psyduck is Pokédex #054, generation 1 (Kanto). Misty's Psyduck is a Basic Water Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 18. The card lists Golduck, Golduck (#055) under evolves to.

Misty's Psyduck sits at 90/132 in Gym Challenge, position 90 of 132. Before it is 89 Misty's Poliwag, and after it is 91 Misty's Seel. The set belongs to the Gym series. It was released on 16 October 2000. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Common.

The attack ESP lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic. Flip 3 coins. If exactly 1 is heads, draw a card. If exactly 2 are heads, this attack does 20 damage. If all 3 are heads, choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon's attacks. Misty's Psyduck copies that attack except for its Energy costs. (No matter what type the Defending Pokémon is, Misty's Psyduck's type is still Water.) Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

Psyduck (#054) has 37 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 30 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Psyduck 20/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card is named Psyduck, while this one is Misty's Psyduck. That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Common. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 28 other cards of Psyduck list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Gym Challenge set binder is where a full Gym Challenge set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Psyduck can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Psyduck and Golduck, Kanto Gym Leaders and their Pokémon, and Misty and her Pokémon. I still need this card.
