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.
Baltoy debuted in Me, Myself and Time, under the ownership of a girl named Calista. Her Baltoy was first seen spinning around and heading to a cliff. Ash asked Pikachu to use a Quick Attack to stop it. Later, it helped the future Calista's Baltoy (in other words, itself) by removing the rocks that were crushing it. Then, it used Rapid Spin in the middle of the wheel of drawings. It is then surrounded by beams of light revealing the true identity of the woman (who was future Calista).
In It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!, Tate and Liza were using Baltoy's Confusion to recreate weightlessness during a Pokémon Battle, even though their main Pokémon already possess the ability to float in mid-air. Later in that same episode, these Clay Doll Pokémon stopped Team Rocket from stealing the rocket ship.
Four Baltoy appeared in Arceus and the Jewel of Life, under the ownership of Damos. In the original timeline set up by the movie, they were used by Damos, who was under Hypnosis, to attack Arceus with Shock Wave. When Ash and his friends traveled to the past to prevent this, Marcus, the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Baltoy again to attack Arceus.
A Baltoy appeared in Bucking the Treasure Trend!, under the ownership of Buck. It was Buck's main Pokémon and partner in treasure-hunting, having the ability to sense when treasure is near. It would indicate this to Buck by spinning. Baltoy was also a very powerful battler, as it was able to defeat the Claydol that was guarding the treasure hidden near Lily of the Valley Island.
Baltoy moves while spinning around on its one foot. Primitive wall paintings depicting this Pokémon living among people were discovered in some ancient ruins.
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.
