Psyduck is my second try to create a pattern of a pokémon. I find him quite cute, and for these of you how want to try it yourself, I provide my pattern here.
Pattern

| R1 |
6 sc into a Magic Ring (= 6st) |
| R2 |
inc each sc (= 12st) |
| R3 |
[1 sc, 1 inc sc] repeat till end of round (= 18st) |
| R4 |
[2 sc, 1 inc sc] repeat till end of round (= 24st) |
| R5 |
[3 sc, 1 inc sc] repeat till end of round (= 30st) |
| R6-R11 |
30 sc each round |
| R12 |
[3 sc, 1 dec sc] repeat till end of round (= 24st) |
| R13 |
[2 sc, 1 dec sc] repeat till end of round (= 18st) |
| R14 |
[1 sc, 1 dec sc] repeat till end of round (= 12st) |
| R15 |
increase each sc (= 24st) |
| R16 |
[1 sc, 1 inc sc] repeat till end of round (= 36st) |
| R17-R27 |
36 sc each round |
| R28 | [1 sc, 1 dec sc] repeat till end of round (= 24st) |
| R29 | back loop only: decrease each sc (= 12st) |
| R30 | decrease each sc (= 6st) |
|
I filled it after R29, if yours is smaller, I would suggest to start around R15 and continue filling as you crochet. eyes: I set the eyes between R7 and R8 with a gap of 4 stiches. |
| beak | |
| R1 |
6 chains |
| R2 |
continue on the other side of the chain:

| R3-6 |
12 sc each round |
| R7 |
front loop only: inc sc, sc, ch, 2 dc, ch, sc, 2x inc sc, 4 sc, inc sc (= 20st) |
|
Sew the beak such that the dc is between the eyes. |
| arm (2x) | |

6 sc into a Magic Ring (= 6st) hint: keep long string at the beginning for sewing later. |
| R2 | inc each sc (= 12st) |
| R3-9 | 12 sc each round (= 12st) |
| R10 | dec each sc (= 6st) |
