Localization and species changes
Although the Poké Doll's Japanese name means "Clefairy Doll", this reference is usually omitted in English, also affecting some NPC dialogue. In the Generation I games and their remakes, a Lass on Route 8 mentions that Clefairy looks like a stuffed toy (ぬいぐるみ) in Japanese, but this remark is absent in English.
In Generation I, the Pokémon species represented by the Poké Doll was originally unidentified in English. The first indication that it represents Clefairy came in Generation II, when Copycat referred to the Lost Item as a Clefairy Poké Doll (Japanese: ピッピにんぎょう Pippi Ningyō, lit. "Pippi Doll"; ピッピの にんぎょう Pippi no Ningyō, lit. "Doll of Pippi").[1] In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the Poké Doll sprite
was introduced, depicting it as a Clefairy doll. The Lost Doll returned in Generation IV, now with a Clefairy doll sprite (
).
Starting in Generation V, the Lost Doll was changed to a Mime Jr. doll (
), with the description, "The Mime Jr. doll that was lost by the Copycat." This version exists only in unused game data and does not appear in gameplay.

Effect
When used from the Bag during a battle with a wild Pokémon, it allows the player to escape instantly regardless of any factors that would otherwise prevent escape.
Generation I
In Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, a Poké Doll can be given to Copycat in Saffron City in exchange for a TM31 (Mimic).
In this generation only, due to a glitch, the player can use a Poké Doll to end any battle against a unidentified ghost at the Pokémon Tower. This includes bypassing the ghost Marowak without the Silph Scope. This effectively allows the player to skip the Team Rocket Hideout, where the Silph Scope would normally be obtained, or break the normal gameplay sequence by visiting the Team Rocket Hideout at any later point.
Generation III
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, a Poké Doll can be given to Copycat to have her teach Mimic to one Pokémon.
From this generation onwards, the Poké Doll is not usable to end battles with unidentified ghosts or bypass the ghost Marowak at the Pokémon Tower.

Lillie says that one of her most treasured possessions is a Poké Doll that she used to cuddle with as she slept, referencing the Poké Doll that she gives the player in Pokémon Sun and Moon. In her Trainer Lodge friendship story, she makes a Poké Doll for the player with a good luck charm from Alola sewn inside of it. Once the player reaches friendship level 100 with Lillie in the Trainer Lodge, they can purchase a replica of a Poké Doll in the Lodge Exchange to display in the Trainer Lodge.

The Poké Doll, simply known as "Plush" in-game, makes an appearance in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond as a gift item found inside crates.

Instead of Clefairy, these Dolls represent Cleffa, but were also translated to English as Poké Doll (Japanese: ピィにんぎょう Py Doll).

- Main article: Clefairy Doll (Base Set 70)
The Poké Doll was introduced as a Trainer card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Original Series (the Japanese Original Era) in the Base Set expansion. The English language release of the card uses the English equivalent of the Japanese name, Clefairy Doll.
Play Clefairy Doll as if it were a Basic Pokémon. While in play, Clefairy Doll counts as a Pokémon (instead of a Trainer card). Clefairy Doll has no attacks, can't retreat, and can't be Asleep, Confused, Paralyzed, or Poisoned. If Clefairy Doll is Knocked Out, it doesn't count as a Knocked Out Pokémon. The player may discard Clefairy Doll at any time during their turn before their attack.

Trivia
- In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, when pluralized or prefixed with the indefinite article, this item's name is rendered with an unaccented 'e' ("Poke Dolls" and "a Poke Doll", respectively). In Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, both of these instances are corrected to display with an acute accent, matching how the item's name would normally be rendered.
- The Poké Doll is the only item that can be obtained in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon only by trading it over from Pokémon Sun and Moon.
