I've seen that both "stuck" and "stucked" are in use as verb 3. Am I right or is "stucked" just wrong? Thanks.

For most verbs, we form the simple past and the past participle by adding -ed to the verb, for example kick - kicked - kicked. Stick is irregular: the simple past and past participle are formed as follows: stick - stuck - stuck.
There is no "stucked". This kind of mistake is often made by English children. I imagine it is also common for people learning English as a second language.
Any good dictionary, for example the Cambridge Dictionary, will tell you the correct forms for the simple past and the past participle.
