Claydol (Japanese: ネンドール Nendoll) is a Ground/Psychic-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

Claydol are said to be dolls of mud made by primitive humans and brought to life by exposure to a mysterious ray. This Pokémon moves about while levitating.

Pokémon Sapphire

Claydol is an enigma that appeared from a clay statue made by an ancient civilization dating back 20,000 years. This Pokémon shoots beams from both its hands.

Pokémon Emerald

A Claydol sleeps while hovering in midair. Its arms are separate from its body. They are kept floating by the Pokémon's manipulation of psychic power.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

It appears to have been born from clay dolls made by ancient people. It uses telekinesis to float and move.

Name origin

Claydol's name appears to be a combination of clay, idol, and possibly doll as well. Nendoll is probably a combination of 念 nen, thought, and doll. Nen is found in various compounds having to do with ESP-related phenomena, for instance, 念写 nensha, spirit-photography, and 念動 nendō, telekinesis.

Its design is similar to the 遮光器土偶 shakōkidogū - a "spaceman" clay figurine from the Jōmon period of Japanese history.
