The Pokémon Company International has revealed a new Pokémon TV YouTube channel. The official Pokémon TV YouTube channel will begin posting full length episodes on December 6th, 2024. Viewers can explore the world of Pokémon with Ash & Pikachu! Experience some of the most iconic moments from their adventure with full episodes, live streams, compilations, and so much more!

According to the about page, the account was made on September 16th, 2024, so this project was in the works for a few months before the reveal on December 3rd, 2024. Pokémon TV discontinued in March 2024 and on October 22nd, 2024, WildBrain and Pokémon launched a Fast Channel on Pluto TV, so more ways are returning to watch the anime series.

Psyduck is now available in Pokémon UNITE! Psyduck's Unite Move is Full-Power Psy-ay-ay! Psyduck releases three mysterious psychic waves around itself, dealing damage and decreasing damage dealt by opponents they hit. It also greatly increases Psyduck's headache gauge!

Waddle into Action as Psyduck in Pokémon UNITE

Disrupt the competition with a Ranged Supporter that turns frustration into a mysterious eruption. Keep calm (or not) and waddle on with Psyduck in Pokémon UNITE. This Water-type Pokémon was originally discovered in the Kanto region and is known to be constantly racked by a headache. When this headache grows intense, Psyduck begins to use a mysterious power. You’ll see the same in Pokémon UNITE, where Psyduck (a Ranged Supporter) has its moves empowered when its headache gauge is full!

You can obtain the Unite license for the Ranged Supporter Psyduck for 12,000 Aeos coins or 790 Aeos gems at the Unite Battle Committee shop. Psyduck will only be obtainable with Aeos gems for the first seven days of its release. Read on to learn more about this delightful Duck Pokémon before waddling into the fray on Aeos Island.

Psyduck Basics

Ability: Swift Swim - When Psyduck is damaged by a Pokémon from the opposing team, its movement speed is increased for a short time. This effect goes on cooldown after it’s triggered. When Psyduck or nearby ally Pokémon take damage, the headache gauge increases. When the headache gauge is full, a mysterious power is triggered, shoving nearby opposing Pokémon. While the mysterious power is active, moves are boosted, and their cooldowns are reduced.

Basic Attack - Attacks with a shot of water.

Lv. 1 & 3 Moves

Confusion - Psyduck releases weak telekinetic force toward opposing Pokémon, dealing damage and leaving them unable to act. While the mysterious power is active, damage dealt to opposing Pokémon is increased.

Tail Whip - Psyduck wags its tail, dealing damage, applying a slowing effect, and decreasing the Sp. Def of the designated opposing Pokémon. While the mysterious power is active, the opposing Pokémon’s Sp. Def is decreased by a greater amount.

Lv. 4 Moves

Bubble Beam - Psyduck forcefully ejects a spray of bubbles, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and attaching three bubbles. When ally Pokémon hit a bubbled opposing Pokémon with a basic attack, a bubble bursts, dealing damage. When all bubbles are burst, the opposing Pokémon is left unable to act. While the mysterious power is active, the damage dealt when the bubbles burst is increased. Bubble Beam can be upgraded to apply a slowing effect when it hits.

Surf - Psyduck creates a wave in the designated direction, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon it hits. If opposing Pokémon hit by Surf already have a slowing effect applied, they are shoved. Psyduck can ride the wave for a short time and use basic attacks and moves while moving. Ally Pokémon who touch the wave have their movement speed increased. If Surf is used again, Psyduck stops in place and creates another wave. While the mysterious power is active, Psyduck will create two waves. Surf can be upgraded to decrease the damage dealt by Pokémon that are hit by it.

Lv. 6 Moves

Psychic - Psyduck releases a strong telekinetic force in the designated area, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and leaving them unable to act. Psyduck continues to release a telekinetic force at the opposing Pokémon that took damage closest to the center of the area of effect. If Psychic is used again, Psyduck pulls the opposing Pokémon receiving the telekinetic force in the designated direction. While the mysterious power is active, Psyduck leaves the opposing Pokémon unable to act after pulling them. Psychic can be upgraded to decrease the Sp. Def of opposing Pokémon hit by the telekinetic force.

Disable - Psyduck releases electricity that limits the designated opposing Pokémon’s moves while dealing damage and leaving them unable to act. The electricity spreads to nearby Pokémon five times. (The electricity can only spread to the same Pokémon up to two times.) Opposing Pokémon hit by the electricity will have the cooldown of their last used move increased. If an opposing Pokémon has no move on cooldown, the cooldown of the next move it uses will be increased. When an effect to increase a move’s cooldown is applied, a slowing effect is also applied. While the mysterious power is active, the number of times the electricity spreads will increase. Disable can be upgraded to increase the duration that opposing Pokémon are left unable to act.

Psyduck’s Unite Move, Full-Power Psy-ay-ay! Psyduck releases three mysterious psychic waves around itself, dealing damage and decreasing the damage dealt by opposing Pokémon they hit. After Psyduck uses Full-Power Psy-ay-ay!, its headache gauge greatly increases as a consequence of it unleashing its full power.

Metagame Watch

Strong Against: Darkrai - Speedsters often rely on mixing and matching their cooldowns to get the most out of their moves, and Darkrai is no different, with the opponent’s sleep status being key to it dealing more damage. Psyduck’s Disable is the first move in Pokémon UNITE that can raise move cooldowns, and it’s likely to throw a wrench in Darkrai’s plans when it stops Dark Void or Shadow Claw from being continually chained.

Weak Against: Mew - Psyduck has great options for hindering opposing Pokémon: Bubble Beam, Surf, Psychic, and Disable. Each move can stop a Pokémon in melee range from executing its strategy, whether it’s trying to make a quick getaway or immediately dive into the backline. Mew’s Light Screen and Solar Beam combo has wreaked havoc on Aeos Island for years now, and Psyduck will have a hard time subduing the New Species Pokémon with a Surf and Disable combination. Still, if you find the right flank, or if Mew finds itself out of position, be ready to make your move!

Kochi Prefecture and The Pokémon Company signed a collaboration agreement on November 11th, 2024, with the aim of utilizing the Pokémon Local Acts initiative to work together to revitalize Kochi Prefecture through Pokémon. Kenjiro Ito, Chief Business Officer (CBO) of The Pokémon Company and Seiji Hamada (濵田省司), Governor of Kochi Prefecture were on hand at the announcement presentation.

Kochi×Quagsire

On November 11th, 2024, Quagsire was appointed the "Kochi Support Pokémon." Kochi Prefecture has the highest concentration of forested land in Japan. The verdant forests give rise to the crystal-clear waters of the Shimanto River, Niyodo River, and many other streams, where one can easily picture Quagsire leisurely swimming. Through various initiatives, Quagsire will help promote the endless charms of Kochi Prefecture, from the seas where the Kuroshio Current ebbs and flows, to the mighty mountains, to the unspoilt landscapes of yesteryear.

About Kochi

Kochi Prefecture encompasses the southern half of Shikoku island, facing the vast Pacific Ocean. While it is often associated with its coastline, it is also the most forested prefecture in Japan. The prefecture is blessed with beautiful natural landscapes, such as the forests that cover 84% of its land mass and the crystal-clear waters of the Shimanto River, Niyodo River, and many other streams. You’ll surely be tantalized by Kochi’s seasonal delicacies, nurtured by its rich nature, and the warm-hearted locals known for their free and easy spirit, and their generosity! Why not take a break from your busy daily life and come experience a laid-back getaway in this charming prefecture?

Collaborative Projects

1. Implementation of a stamp rally for a tour of the prefecture. This is scheduled to be implemented in the winter of 2024 as a first step measure to attract visitors to the prefecture. Details will be announced at a later date.

2. Holding of greeting events. They plan to hold meet-and-greet events where visitors can meet Nuoh, mainly at events sponsored by the prefecture.

3. Installation of PokéLids. As part of the collaboration agreement between Kochi Prefecture and The Pokémon Company, PokéLids will be installed in all 34 cities, towns, and villages in the prefecture. Detailed information on installation locations and other details will be announced at a later date.

4. Collaboration of Kochi Prefecture Products. In order to let more people know about Kochi products, they will be developing products unique to Kochi Prefecture in collaboration with Nuoh. The following products are scheduled to be released in the future.


Coin-sized Millet biscuits that are slightly sweet and slightly salty. The cute packaging with Nuoh peeking out against the backdrop of Kochi's tourist attraction locations makes it the perfect souvenir for people to bring back memories of their trip! Retail stores and souvenir shops within the prefecture will carry it.


Tosa washi Letter Paper made with water from the Niyodo River (仁淀川の水で作った　ヌオーの土佐和紙ひとこと便せん).

Rakusui (落水) is a traditional technique that uses the water of the miraculously pure Niyodo River to create patterns. The Nuoh drawn on the Tosa Washi paper is created using this technique to make it look like it is submerged in water. Why not convey your thoughts by writing as if Nuoh is relaxing in the water? It will be available on the LadyRisa online store, the Kochi Ryoma Airport, and Tosa Select Shop Tencos.

5. Public Transport Vehicle Wrapping. A streetcar has been wrapped and decorated with Nuoh.
