Hi Pojo,

Golduck is a forgotten card.  It is one of the best in the game.  My deck
Psy, Wtr, Ftg has Golduck as the root.  I only have one Golduck in my deck
because I only have one.  But I just want to show the world how awesome it is

Golduck (stage 1)
Type:  Water
70 HP
Attacks: 
P - Psyshock 10 - flip a coin if heads the opponent is paralyzed. 
1WW - Hyper Beam 20 - If the defending pokemon ha any energy cards attached
to it, choose one of them and discard it.
Weakness:  Electric
Resustance:  None
Retreat Cost:  1

First of all for  a Psy energy you get to do 10 damage and possibly paralyze.
When the opponent is Paralyzed you can build up Golduck untill it can do
hyper Beam.  Now Hyper Beam is one of the best attacks of all.  This is
because if you use it continually you opponent will never get more energy
cards on it than when you dtarted using Hyper Beam.  Evolving from Psyduck is
another plus.  Psyducks headache can seriously hamper the opponents deck
development.  The disadvantages are only slight.  As Golduck destroys the
enemy w/ Hyper Beam it will take damage.  A few potions can counter this
though.  One big advantage is its weakness.  I know that sounds like an
oxymoron but let me explain.  It is weak to Electric.  Electric is not a
super strong type currently so Electric decks a rare to come by.  So there is
a large chance that Golduck wont have to worry about Golducks weakness. 
Golduck sohuld be in just about every Energy denial deck there is.  He should
especially be in all Water/Psy decks. 

Tell me if you agree or disagree but please go about it in a civilized
manner.
