Baltoy (Japanese: ヤジロン Yajilon) is a dual-type Ground/Psychic Pokémon.

It evolves into Claydol starting at level 36.

Biology

Physiology

Baltoy are small, tan-and-red figurine-like Pokémon that are made out of clay or mud. It balances on a single foot. To maintain this balance, it has two arm-like appendages that even out its center of gravity, therefore making it more stable. Baltoy has a single spike-like protrusion on the top of its head, and its red body markings make its abdomen somewhat resemble a Poké Ball. Baltoy's eyes appear to have arching red eyebrows, and seem perpetually closed or encased in goggles.

Gender differences

Baltoy is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Baltoy is able to Levitate; it does it at all times, and even levitates and spins while it sleeps. It also possesses psychic powers, and is one of the small amount of Pokémon that can use Cosmic Power. Being a Template:Type2, it can also use moves such as Reflect, Light Screen, and Safeguard.

Behavior

Baltoy moves while spinning around on its one foot. As soon as it spots others of its kind, Baltoy congregates with them and then begins crying noisily in unison. This Pokémon sleeps while cleverly balancing itself on its one foot.

Later in that same episode, these Clay Doll Pokémon stopped Team Rocket from stealing the rocketship.

Minor appearances

A Baltoy is owned by one of the students of Snowpoint Trainers' School in Classroom Training!.

Another Baltoy appeared in Bucking the Treasure Trend!, under the ownership of Buck.

Trivia

• No other Pokémon have the same combination type as Baltoy and its evolution, Claydol.
• Despite the fact that Baltoy is a genderless Pokémon, in PokéPark Wii, Baltoy is a male.
• Baltoy can be seen as a parallel to Gulpin. Both of them are Generation III Pokémon. Baltoy is exclusive to Pokémon HeartGold, while Gulpin is exclusive to Pokémon SoulSilver, with both Pokémon found in a Mass Outbreak in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be snagged as Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness at the Shadow Pokémon Laboratory, with both Pokémon having the same Shadow move, Shadow Blitz.

Origin

Its design is similar to the 遮光器土偶 shakōkidogū - a "spaceman" clay figurine from the Jōmon period of Japanese history. It also seems to resemble a top. Or it could possibly appear as a dreidel.

Name origin

Baltoy's name appears to be a portmanteau of balance and toy.

Yajilon is an abbreviation of 弥次郎兵衛 yajirobe'e, balancing toy.

In other languages

Language Name Name Origin German Puppance Derived from the English words puppet and balance. French Balbuto Korean 오뚝군 Ottukgun Chinese (Taiwan) 天秤偶 Tiān Chèng Ǒu "Libra figurine". 天秤 refers to the constellation Libra, possibly referencing the yajirobe'e or Baltoy itself. 偶 may come from the Japanese 遮光器土偶 shakōkidogū.
