Ye Yinchuan looked at the Psyduck.
The Psyduck that has just hatched from its egg is still quite small, but its silly demeanor is already beginning to take shape.
Psyduck is entirely yellow, with a round head and body, and stands on two legs.
The three black tufts of hair on his head are particularly noticeable.
Although its eyes are round and large, its pupils are extremely small, almost like tiny dots, which makes it look rather unintelligent.
With its flat, wide, long, and round beak, and two small nostrils, it naturally has the silly look of a duck.
The upper limb is a shape that is thick at the end and thin at the tip, with a smooth curve, like an upside-down chicken leg, with only three short fingers, giving people a harmless feeling.
As for the lower limbs...
From the outside, it looks like it only has two webbed feet with three toes, flat and wide, which is almost unrelated to the word "raptor".
Indeed, judging from its appearance alone, Psyduck looks really silly.
She's a bit silly, but also very cute.
For those who like this character, Psyduck is simply adorable.
But for the general public, Psyduck's silliness is not only reflected in its appearance, but also in all aspects of its personality.
For example, they may have weak abilities, disobey instructions, and have difficulty learning new skills...
But Ye Yinchuan knew very well that if Psyduck was properly bred, it would be a Pokémon with considerable potential.
In particular, it possesses a unique characteristic that many Water-type Pokémon cannot match: it can learn Psychic-type moves!
In the world of Pokémon, compared to the dangerous and unknown Ghost type and the elusive Fairy type, the Psychic type is a powerful and noble existence.
Although Psyduck is a pure water-type duck.
Based on its performance, even if it were labeled as half a superpower type, I believe many people would have no objection!
Ye Yinchuan praised this Psyduck as "fantastic" not only because he wanted to "vindicate" Psyduck, but also because this Psyduck's appearance and quality were indeed outstanding!
Psyduck, the Pokémon of Ducks
[Level: 1]
[Attribute: Water]
[Gender: Male]
[Racial stats: C-rank (320)]
Individual Value: Grade B (165)
【Characteristic: Irrelevant to weather】
Personality: Conservative
[Skills: Catch, Tail Wag, Telekinesis]
[Status: Newly Hatched]
Evolutionary path: Psyduck - Golduck
Trait: Wise in appearance but seemingly foolish
"Host, what does this mean? Isn't it generally accepted that Psyduck is very weak before evolving into Golduck? Our economic situation probably doesn't support it evolving into Golduck in such a short time."
The man said with some shame.
If he were more capable of earning money, he could provide better conditions for his daughter. Even a weak Psyduck could be given resources without much thought, and things would improve after evolving into Golduck.
However, in the Pokémon world, there are specializations in both middle school and university.
If you can't quickly train a Pokémon with potential, or even a strong one, then you've basically said goodbye to the path of becoming a professional trainer!
Because if you fall behind in one step, you will fall behind in every step.
Although the world as a whole is relatively leisurely, and you can easily find a job and make a living.
But... when it comes to Pokémon, especially the path to becoming a professional trainer, it's a narrow bridge with a huge crowd. Only the truly elite or those with great perseverance have a chance to reach the other side!
The man knew they came from an ordinary family, and if his daughter couldn't make a name for herself with her first Pokémon during her middle school years, she would miss out on those resources and subsidies...
Can we count on this Psyduck?
[Could it be an S-rank individual value?]
The streamer must have figured something out!
The passing of comments gave the man a glimmer of hope.
"Unfortunately, this Psyduck's IVs are only B-rank. However, within the B-rank, it's top-tier, almost A-rank."
Ye Yinchuan observed these reactions and spoke.
"Sigh, it has to be Psyduck. If it were Squirtle, it would be perfect!"
"No, even Psyduck is excellent."
Ye Yinchuan resolutely blocked the railway.
His confident tone immediately caught the man's eye.
"Host, please explain in detail."
"This Psyduck's ability is weather-insensitive. Its personality is conservative. And besides that, as you've probably noticed, it doesn't seem to be very smart."
"I roughly know about a conservative personality. But what kind of weather is that? What kind of characteristic is that? I'm a bit confused. Not very smart, so how can I be considered outstanding?"
The man was completely baffled.
It's normal for Psyduck to be a little unintelligent...
[Unrelated to the weather, has the streamer invented a new ability? Aren't Psyduck's abilities usually just Moisture?]
[Laughable. A conservative personality? Is that even something to talk about? It's like saying that this kind of personality makes it harder to learn new skills!]
Ye Yinchuan knew that he needed to answer everyone's questions.
"Okay, I'll explain it to you one by one. Let's start with personality. You may only know that a conservative personality tends to be more introverted and less receptive to new things. But some of you may not know that a conservative personality is actually more conducive to enhancing the power of special attacks, such as water guns and telekinesis."
What's the underlying principle?
"Because these special attacks require a higher level of concentration, a Pokémon's personality determines its strengths. For example, brave and stubborn Pokémon are better at physical attacks."
While researching the information, Ye Yinchuan analyzed the situation based on his own understanding.
In Pokémon games, a Pokémon's nature affects its attributes.
But in this world, the influence of personality is obviously more complex and subtle.
Furthermore, there are significant differences.
For example, the "Stubborn" personality trait, in the game, increases attack and decreases special attack.
In reality, however, the effect on Pokémon is that they become more focused on one thing or one aspect of their abilities.
For example, this Pokémon might be good at physical attacks, or it might be good at special attacks.
A stubborn personality can be advantageous, but it usually only leans towards one aspect.
To put it bluntly, it's about being "stubborn" and prone to "being biased towards one subject over another".
In addition, stubborn Pokémon can sometimes be difficult to command because they often have their own ideas.
Ye Yinchuan was able to say these things with certainty because the Pokémon Research Association in this world has a special research team that studies Pokémon personalities and has achieved considerable results.
It's not easy for ordinary people to know the personality of a Pokémon accurately without seeing the template.
Naturally, they wouldn't study it in such detail.
[I think I get it! Psyduck is a Water-type Pokémon and not good at physical attacks, so a conservative nature that increases its Special Attack is a good thing for it!]
So, what characteristic does it have to do with weather?
Ye Yinchuan looked at the comments and sighed inwardly.
I was originally identifying Pokémon, how did I end up being a science communicator?
Many people simply don't bother to delve into research findings that have already been presented.
Characteristics like "unrelated to weather" have not even been discovered or recognized yet!
Indeed, the task ahead is arduous and the road is long!
"The characteristic of being unaffected by weather can actually be understood literally; it means that it is not affected by the weather."
Ye Yinchuan thought for a moment and summarized it in the most concise way.
Family, I really didn't intentionally cut off the chapter. After all, I can't cram all the content into 2 words at once, so the pacing is normal! I intentionally didn't cut off the chapter today, and directly mentioned the effect unrelated to the weather... let's see how you feel about it? (Currently at 1675, please continue reading)
