Overview
Golduck is a Water-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Duck Pokemon (Dex #087). Golduck shares the Hot-Spring Shower habitat with its pre-evolution Psyduck, but appears as a Rare visitor rather than a Common one. Golduck carries the Search specialty for finding buried items with the Dowsing Machine. In the main series, Golduck is known for its powerful psychic abilities and graceful swimming, though in Pokopia it serves as a utility companion for exploration.
Habitat
Golduck lives in the Hot-Spring Shower habitat (#078). This water-themed habitat requires:
Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Shower | 1 | Craftable at a workbench |
Seat (any) | 1 | Any type of seating works |
Hot-Spring Water | 2 | Found naturally inside caves in Rocky Ridges |
Golduck appears as a Rare visitor at this habitat. Since Psyduck is the Common spawn at the same habitat, players may need to build multiple Hot-Spring Shower habitats or wait several cycles before Golduck appears.

Location
The Hot-Spring Shower habitat is best built in Rocky Ridges, where caves naturally contain hot-spring water. Rocky Ridges is the third major region in Pokopia. Since Golduck is a Rare spawn, patience is required. Building multiple Hot-Spring Shower habitats across different cave locations increases your chances of encountering Golduck. It is available at all times of day and in all weather conditions.
How to Befriend
Find a cave in Rocky Ridges with hot-spring water and place a Shower and a Seat nearby to create the Hot-Spring Shower habitat. Wait for Golduck to appear as a Rare visitor. If Psyduck appears instead, wait for it to leave or build additional habitats. Walk up and interact with Golduck to befriend it.
Specialty: Search
Golduck has the Search specialty. If you hold the Dowsing Machine and press the A button while walking with Golduck, you will start looking for buried items. Golduck functions the same as Psyduck for Search purposes. The choice between them is a matter of preference and collection goals.

Tips
Golduck is a Rare spawn at the Hot-Spring Shower habitat. Build multiple copies of this habitat in different caves across Rocky Ridges to improve your chances.
If you only need the Search specialty, Psyduck is much easier to find at the same habitat as a Common spawn.
Furnish Golduck's area with humid, water-themed, and ocean-vibes items to increase its Comfort Level.
Golduck is a good companion for cave exploration in Rocky Ridges, where buried treasures are plentiful.
