Psyduck is finding unprecedented popularity on Twitter with clever nicknames and antics

The facial expressions of this quacky Pokémon have turned into a great Pokémon battle of wits and humor.

We just can’t stop talking about Pokémon GO, because the popularity of the game along with the nostalgia has created an insatiable need to catch ‘em all. One of the Pokémon that has always been given a bit of a hard time in the TV show has found a surpring new platform to explore his goofiness: Twitter.

After catching any Pokémon, you can check the stats of each one. This includes being able to change their name as well as get a reaction out of them when tapping the Pokémon. Psyduck has a very peculiar motion where it turns its head left and then right before jutting its arms into the air, seemingly proclaiming some sort of success. Well, that just seems like the perfect fodder for a caption contest and Twitter users didn’t disappoint.

“Not Slytherin.”
“Not  Slytherin.”
“Gryffindor!”

Psyduck is certainly bringing his silly A-game to Pokémon GO and Twitter. We only hope that one day, Psyduck can overcome his troubles and finally evolve into the strong and powerful Golduck that we know exists inside.
