Claydol (Japanese: ネンドール Nendoll) is a dual-type Ground/Psychic Pokémon.
It evolves from Baltoy starting at level 36.
Biology
Claydol is a large, black Pokémon that resembles a mud statue with two stubby legs. It has a wide, spherical head with a rounded protrusion on top. Around its head are many large, pink eyes with yellow, beak-like protrusions between each. A wavy, white rim runs along the upper edges of the eyes. Its torso has white ring markings, each with a downward extension a yellow dot in the middle. It has spherical arms with a rounded protrusion that are capable of firing beams. These arms are not attached to its body, but are usually kept floating close by Claydol's psychic powers. Claydol uses the same telekinetic abilities to move and float through the air. It lives in rough terrains.
In the anime
Major appearances
Claydol's first appearance was in Claydol Big and Tall. A giant one was released from a giant stone Poké Ball and had to be stopped from getting to a village.
In Rhapsody in Drew, Robert used a Claydol against Drew in the final match of the Hoenn Grand Festival.
In Ka Boom with a View!, Spenser used a Claydol against Ash as his final Pokémon. With its Hyper Beam, Psybeam, Rapid Spin and Teleport, it quickly defeated Ash's Swellow, and it proved to be a challenge for his Sceptile. It was later defeated by Sceptile's newly learned SolarBeam.
In Bucking the Treasure Trend!, a wild Claydol appeared guarding the treasure near Lily of the Valley Island. It proved to be a strong Pokémon, standing up to Dawn's Piplup and Ash's Torterra. It was eventually captured by Buck.
Minor appearances
Ash battled a Claydol during the beginning scenes of Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
A Claydol appeared in the beginning scenes of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Claydol and its pre-evolution, Baltoy.
- The symbols on Claydol's chest and back resemble the Q form of Unown.
- Claydol has the highest Special Defense base stat of all Ground-type Pokémon.
- It's species name is the same as it's category name.
Origin
Claydol's design is similar to the 遮光器土偶 Shakōki-dogū—a "spaceman" clay figurine from the Jōmon period of Japanese history.
Name origin
Claydol is a combination of clay and idol or doll. It may also involve dreidel due to Claydol's pronunciation and its pre-evolution Baltoy's similarity to tops.
Nendoll may be a combination of 念 nen (thought), 粘土 nendo (clay), and doll. Nen is found in various compounds having to do with ESP-related phenomena, such as 念写 nensha (spirit photography) and 念動 nendō (telekinesis).
