Psychic clay constructs of ancient times.
Description
Baltoy resembles a top. Its head makes up about a third of its size, its torso is a narrow cylinder or egg shape below it and two flat arms to is sides, and it balances on a single point. It has a brown body with red markings around its eyes and torso. It barely comes up to the knee. Claydol has a large gourd shaped head with a ring of eyes encircling the whole of its head and seeing in all directions. Its torso and limbs are also bulbous in structure, with narrow 'stems' extending from its shoulder bulbs and two stubby lumps for legs/landing gear. It is entirely made of black clay barring white patterns on its chest and eye sockets, small beak-like nubs between each pair of eyes, and its red eyes. Claydol stands at human chest height, and weighs more than some adults.
Despite being made of and at home in the ground, they use their powers to Levitate all the time.
Battle Characteristics
Claydol has great Toughness and Resistance, with Resistance being the better of the two. It has matching moderate Strength and Power, and slightly higher Speed. Its Constitution is medium. It uses a mix of Ground, Psychic, Rock, and Normal moves.
Legends/Folklore
No one is certain where they come from or why they were involved with ancient humanity. Relics, carvings, and more resembling them exist in ancient caves and ruins.
Some relation to Golett/Golurk is present. They simply operate on psychic powers rather than ectoplasmic possession.
Baltoy does not have much in the way of kinetic energy generation through its psychic abilities, relying on sensory and supplementary moves instead.
Life Cycle/Evolution Conditions
Baltoy are active on activation. They do not gain much telekinetic power until after evolving. Usually, it is a sign of impending evolution when they get strong enough to move thirty-six kilograms of mass with their minds alone. They can live for centuries.
Diet
They seem to subsist on energy from astral planes such as the Dream World.
Breeding
Mineral Group. Eggs are produced solo, and can be mistaken for extremely smooth cave pearls or other sedimentary rock structures. Eggs sell for 17,000P.
Wild Behavior/Threat Level
Baltoy and Claydol tend to float around and explore their territory.
Bonding and Care
They appreciate mental stimulation and good vantage points to watch their environment from.
Human/Pokémon Relations
It can depend on the colony, but they are generally neutral, seeing humans as a potential hazard, but not a guaranteed threat.
With Family
They are surprisingly capable of recognizing genetic relations and tracking a human's bloodline.
Team Compatibility
They should not be much of a conflict on a team.
Warning
They really hate having things on their heads and react violently to not having access to the sky.
Summary
Balancing clay mind-golems.
A/N: cave pearls are a real thing. Basically like regular pearls, but formed from mineral water flowing around dirt or rocks or grains of sand.
