Baltoy (Japanese: ヤジロン Yajilon) is a dual-type Ground/Psychic Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Baltoy are small, tan-and-red figurine-like Pokémon that are made out of clay or mud. It balances on a single point. 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.
Habitat
Baltoy can be found in deserts.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon have the same combination type as Baltoy and its evolution, Claydol.
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.
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
- 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.
