History

Psyduck is a Gen 1 Pokémon (No. 58) known for its constant headache; it uses water-type psychic energy to alleviate pain, featuring the quirky Overthink attack in this card[1]. Psyduck is a Basic Water-type Pokémon with 70 HP and the signature Overthink ability that forces opponents' coin flips to always be tails[1].

This card was first released in 2023 as part of the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet – 151 expansion (specifically set 'Pokemon Mew EN-151' in some catalogs), numbered 175/165★[1][2].

• It is an Illustration Rare parallel (not Secret Rare as prompted) with a glossy holographic foil and silver border[1][2].
• Psyduck clutching its head on a sunlit forest staircase, rendered in vibrant greens and blues[1].
• Psyduck cards have gained 72.8% year-to-date in 2026, with 62 cards ranging from $0.16 to $298.10[4].

Collector notes

Condition. Check for holographic foil integrity, centering, corner wear, and edge scratches; common flaws include foil bubbling and off-centering on the glossy artwork[1][2].

Storage. Use rigid top loaders with penny sleeves, store in a cool dry place away from UV light, and consider graded/graded packaging for long-term protection[2][5].

Authenticity. Fakes often lack the silver border or crisp holographic foil; authentic cards show the Overthink attack text and #175/165★ number; verify with official TCG databases[1][7].
