Claydol

Claydol (Japanese: ネンドール, HepburnNendooru) (CLAY-doll[1]) is a Ground/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology

Physiology

Claydol has a large black body with two short legs. It has a protrusion on top of its head. Claydol has several large, pink eyes and a white, wavy pattern, both going around its round head. Its eyes have a pattern of alternating between being open and closed. It also has cannon like arms separate from its body which it keeps close by levitating them with its psychic powers. Some people think Claydol is made out of clay. Claydol has to stay out of the rain or it will melt.

Behavior

Claydol are very mysterious Pokémon that scientists currently know very little about. They are strongly associated with ancient desert civilizations, with many believing that such ancient peoples may have even created them. They have many parallels with Sigilyph, another clay-based Pokémon that also inhabits desert ruins. Whether the two species were created by the same group of people or two coincidentally similar ideas is unknown.Claydol are watchful Pokémon. They dislike humans in their territory, but will not attack unless provoked. They tend to fight when they sense danger.

Natural abilities

Claydol is a doll made out of mud. Said to have come to life after exposure to a mysterious beam, it floats using its telekinetic powers. Claydol can learn beam based attacks such as Charge Beam, Psybeam, Signal Beam, Ice Beam, Solar Beam, and finally, Hyper Beam, which it learns after evolving from Baltoy at level 36.

Evolution

Claydol evolves from Baltoy once it reaches level 36.

    Trivia

    • Claydol has the highest Special Defense of all ground-type Pokémon.
    • Claydol and it's pre-evolution's type combination (Ground/psychic) is unique.
    • The symbols on Claydol's chest and back resemble the Q form of Unown.

    Origin

    Claydol is based on a Shakōki-dogū, a clay humanoid figurine created during Japan's Jōmon period. It may also be based on a dreidel, a spinning top associated with the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah (it being made of clay may be in reference to the traditional Hanukkah song "I Have a Little Dreidel," the first two lines being "I have a little dreidel/I made it out of clay"). Its eyes and yellow marks in between them also make it slightly resemble an own.

    Etymology

    Claydol may come from clay, doll, idol and dreidel.

    Nendōru is a portmanteau of 粘土 (nendo, clay), 念動 (nendō, telekinesis), "doll," and "idol."
