Baltoy^{(JPJapanese: ヤジロン

Romaji: Yajilon)} is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Ground/Psychic type Pokémon. It evolves into Claydol at level 36.

Physiology & Behavior

Baltoy is a small Pokémon that resembles a tan figurine made out of clay or mud. There are arching, red markings over its eyes, which usually appear closed. A red stripe encircles its body, and forms a ring on its belly. It has flat appendages that resemble arms. A spike protrudes from the top of its head and another, smaller spike under its body. It moves by spinning on this single, pointed foot, and balance upright on it to sleep. Baltoy is usually found in ruins and old graveyards, where it congregates with its own kind and cries noisily. Old cave wall paintings depict it living with people in ancient times.

Trivia

No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Baltoy and its evolution.
Baltoy is tied with Toedscool for the lowest base Attack stat of all Ground-type Pokémon.
Despite being a gender unknown Pokémon, Baltoy's PokéPark Pad entry in PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure refers to it using masculine pronouns. The same is true for Claydol.
