Read more ↓Baltoy, the Clay Doll Pokémon, is a Ground/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III, native to the Hoenn region. Its Pokédex entries often describe it as an ancient Pokémon that moves by spinning on its single foot, occasionally even on its head. Baltoy is believed to have been brought to life by ancient civilizations, possibly as a tool or a guardian, giving it a somewhat mysterious and mystical aura. It evolves into Claydol, a larger and more complex Clay Doll Pokémon, at level 36. As a Ground/Psychic type, Baltoy is weak to Water, Grass, Ice, Bug, Ghost, and Dark-type attacks, while resisting Fighting, Poison, Rock, and Psychic-type moves. In the games, Baltoy and Claydol are often found in ruins or ancient tombs, reinforcing their lore as relics of a bygone era. Their unique design, resembling an ancient artifact, makes them memorable among fans. Baltoy's role in the anime often showcases its spinning ability and its connection to ancient sites, sometimes acting as a protector of forgotten places. Its distinct appearance and intriguing backstory contribute to its enduring appeal within the Pokémon franchise.
