Claydol (Japanese: ネンドール Nendoll) is a dual-type Ground/Psychic Pokémon.
It evolves from Baltoy starting at level 36.
Biology
Physiology
Claydol has a large black body with two small, stubby legs. Claydol has a wide, rounded head with a protrusion on the top and a remarkable, encircling pattern. The pattern consists of a wavy white frame on its circular pink eyes, each with a dot-like pupil and seemingly alternating expressions on each eye with small, beak-like yellow segments between each eye. Claydol's chest has white ring-like patterns with extensions of the design pointing downward and yellow circles in the middle. Claydol’s cannon-like arms are kept close to its body although their tips can be removed by levitating them with psychic power.
Gender differences
Claydol is a genderless species.
Special abilities
In addition to being able to float indefinitely using telekinesis, even sleeping hovering in midair, it also can shoot beams from its cannon-like arms. It is able to keep its floating arms close to its body by use of psychic powers.
Behavior
Claydol is not used to exposure to modern humans, since it was created by ancient people. For this reason, it chooses to reside in places where humans do not usually tread, such as the Sky Pillar. It uses its psychic powers constantly to its advantage.
Habitat
Claydol can be found in caves and deserts.
Diet

In the anime
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.

Trivia
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 look like the Arahabki, an ancient Japanese god that was worshipped by the Momunofu before the emergence of the Shinto pantheon. The idol was also worshipped by Nagasunehiko, a rebel who was the enemy of the Emperor Jimmu, so he decreed that the Arahabaki was a heretical idol associated with treason. Ironically, Arahabki can now be found commonly in inns all over Japan.
Name origin
Claydol's name appears to be a combination of clay, idol, and possibly doll as well. Judging by the pronunciation, it may also be a combination of clay and dreidel, because Claydol and its pre-evolution look like tops. Nendoll is probably a combination of 念 nen, thought, and doll. Nen is found in various compounds having to do with ESP-related phenomena, for instance, 念写 nensha, spirit-photography, and 念動 nendō, telekinesis. It may also be (as the English name suggests) a combination of 粘土 nendo, "clay," and doll.
In other languages
- German: Lepumentas - From Lehm (clay), Puppe (doll), and mental.
- French: Kaorine - Comes from kaolin, a type of clay used as a medicine for upset stomachs.
- Korean: 점토도리 Jeomtodori
- Chinese (Taiwan): 念力土偶 Niàn Lì Tǔ Ōu - "Psychic clay doll". 土偶 may come from the Japanese 遮光器土偶 shakōkidogū.
