Why didn't Misty just trade or release it?

nobody wants it, doesnt have the heart to release it

Might not be good itself but it's good breeding stock

Because if I remember Psyduck always comes in clutch for Misty in Battles.

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Plus, it's not like she was drowning in water types to use one her team.

Because the writers knew the kids would like psyduck

the only real tragedy was Jessie not winning the princess competition because of some bullshit writers pulled out their ass like Lickitung not doing any damage to Memeduck.

losing Lickitung for Wobbuffet sucked as well. although in the end Blubbo is not that bad. still better than autismoduck.
