Psyduck, the iconic Duck Pokémon known for its constant headaches and bewildered expression, takes on a more sinister role in the Team Rocket expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Card number 65/82 in this 1999–2000 set, this 1st Edition Common card captures Psyduck during a darker chapter in the Pokémon world, where the nefarious Team Rocket exploits Pokémon for their own gain. With its classic artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita and the distinctive 1st Edition stamp, this card is a nostalgic treasure for collectors and a symbol of the early, edgier days of the TCG.

This is a raw, ungraded card from the Team Rocket set, offering an authentic, untouched piece of Pokémon history. Whether you're completing a vintage collection, building a retro-themed deck, or preserving a piece of childhood nostalgia, Psyduck #65/82 holds both sentimental and collectible value. Its common rarity makes it more accessible than many other cards from the set, yet its connection to the legendary Team Rocket theme ensures lasting appeal among enthusiasts and traders.

In gameplay, this Basic Water-type Pokémon has a modest 50 HP, making it a lightweight battler. However, its attacks offer subtle strategic value. Dizziness allows you to draw a card, aiding in deck cycling and hand management. Its second move, Water Gun (20+), deals base damage that scales with your Water Energy attachments—adding up to 20 extra damage depending on available energy—though it caps at an additional 20 damage. With a single Colorless retreat cost and a weakness to Lightning-type attacks, this Psyduck is best used as an early-game support or energy-fetching pivot rather than a frontline fighter.

Beyond its mechanics, the Team Rocket set tells a story of corruption and crime in the Pokémon universe, and Psyduck’s inclusion reflects how even the most harmless Pokémon were caught in Team Rocket’s schemes. As part of the fifth expansion and one of 83 cards in the set, this version of Psyduck holds historical significance and strong collector appeal. Whether you're completing a vintage Team Rocket collection, building a retro-themed deck, or preserving a piece of Pokémon TCG history, the Psyduck (65/82) – Team Rocket 1st Edition card is a charming and evocative addition to any assortment.
