We already knew that Psyduck, the most confused Pokémon around, has moves:
And we’ve long been aware that Psyduck knows how to party:
But we didn’t know that Psyduck could dance like this:
ãã±ã¢ã³GOINâ!!!

If you wondering what the heck you just watched, it should be obvious: That’s Psyduck, just getting its groove on, as one does. It was created by 3D modeler Masisi using the freeware application MikuMikuDance (MMD), which is used for holographic Japanese pop superstar Hatsune Miku. What appears to be going on is that Masisi modeled his video after a video another MMD user created for the song “GOIN’!!!” from the anime The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls. The original video has been retweeted and liked on Twitter over 90,000 times since Sunday, so naturally, the tributes have started to pour in. It turns out that Psyduck has more than one dance routine ready to bust out at a moment’s notice, and when standing next to a human, it’s hard to say who is more rhythmic:

Ultimately, Psyduck is more than a dancer: Psyduck can easily seduce a romantic interests with coy head tilts, puppy-dog-eye looks, and a subtle, flirty wave goodbye:

For those of you with interest in the songs that get Psyduck moving, Hatsune Miku is a legitimate musical phenomenon, and she was fantastic when we went to one of her concerts.
