Evolution

League progression changes each specialised duck’s form.

The four paths

Retro Pack uses these on-screen evolution names. Original Flash calls the athletic final form Athletic Duck and the swimming final form Merduck-Fish.

Specialisations

In Flash and Retro Pack, each duck type applies these multipliers to its trained racing skills.

Display grades and actual mechanics

The selection screen uses letter grades. The bonuses vary by skill: Athletic running and swimming use 1.25×, while Strength climbing uses 1.50×.

Returning to earlier leagues

The game explains that revisiting an earlier league restores the form associated with that league.

Final transformation

After the Professional finals, the Portal leads to the Supreme Duck form and the champion race. The champion race uses the four trained skill values without the usual type multipliers.
