#baltoy #now okay let's just get the elephant outta the room. baltoy? what does this mean. is it a toy that happens to be a ball. because that's how #i've parsed it my whole life. and i've always not understood it because this thing is a top and not a ball #it's also what like. ground/psychic?? i think that's cool but it's just. like what's it got going for it. i forget it exists regularly and #don't even know if it has an evolution to make it competitively viable #where's that one person who said they were gonna do competitive facts on every post and then only did it on one. i miss them #whatever folks have things to do. not everyone has the time to dedicate to a silly little tumblr blog like i do. so here i am #telling you nothing about baltoy. go girl give us nothing. i am giving you nothing

Some Baltoy prefer spinning on their head, and even remain upside down after evolving into Claydol.

These Baltoy are popular with street dancers and circuses.

what're your thoughts on the baltoy line?

I've always enjoyed "ancient manmade creature with some kind of abstract design" 'mons like like Sigilyph and Golurk, so unsurprisingly I really enjoy the Claydol line.

Ironically, I didn't actually know what exactly they were based off of until researching for this review, having assumed they were just abstract figures, but they're actually shakōkidogū, a type of ancient Japanese statue. The eyes are a dead giveaway, even if the overall shape is a bit different. It's a very original theme and works well regardless if you know what it's based off of or not.

Visually, the top-like shape provides a nice bit of vertical symmetry, with the horn on the head matching the point on the bottom. The markings also look good and help it from looking too plain. If I have one nitpick, it's that the red is a bit low-contrast—I get that it's tan to reflect that its made of clay, but even using a slightly darker brown would've helped a lot. Otherwise, though, it's pretty solid.

While Baltoy is a good 'mon in and of itself, Claydol is fantastic. I love how weird this thing is, with a head comprised of eight red eyes arranged in a circular pattern and a beak-like structure between; a rare case of rotational symmetry in Pokemon. The "front" two eyes are designated with two — marks, while all the others are open, which is a good way to play off the shakōkidogū's goggle eyes.

This backsprite also shows that its arms are detachable for extra weirdness (and it can also fire lasers from them, because why not). I'm almost surprised the head doesn't detach and spin around.

In addition to this very cool design, it also adds some much-needed contrast by swapping out Baltoy's tan with a dark black, which is accented with a few spots of yellow. It also gains two markings on its chest which, ironically, look like even more eyes. It's visually striking and just an awesome design all around.
