From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Baltoy (Japanese: ヤジロン Yajilon) is a dual-type Ground/Psychic Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves into Claydol starting at level 36.
Biology
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 acts as its foot. It moves by spinning on this single, pointed foot, and balances upright to sleep. Baltoy is usually found in ruins and old graveyards, where it assembles with its kind and unleashes loud cries. Old cave wall paintings depict it living with people in ancient times. As seen in the anime, an ancient civilization used Baltoy for time travel when spinning on a magic circle artifact.

In the anime
Major appearances
Baltoy debuted in Me, Myself and Time, under the ownership of Calista. It was first seen spinning around and heading off a cliff, being saved by Pikachu's Quick Attack. Later, it helped its future self by removing the rocks that were crushing it. It then used Rapid Spin in the middle of a wheel of drawings to reveal the true identity of a mysterious woman, who was actually a future Calista.
In It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!, Tate and Liza's four Baltoy use their Confusion to recreate weightlessness during a Pokémon battle, even though their main Pokémon already possessed the ability to float in midair. They later stopped Team Rocket from stealing a rocket ship with Tate and Max in tow.
In the original timeline of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, a hypnotized Damos commanded four Baltoy 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.
In Bucking the Treasure Trend!, a Baltoy is Buck's main Pokémon and partner in treasure-hunting. It has the ability to sense when treasure is near and 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.
Minor appearances
A Baltoy appeared in Classroom Training!, under the ownership of the Snowpoint Trainers' School.
A Trainer's Baltoy appeared in Making Battles in the Sand!.
