In the anime
Baltoy first appeared in Me, Myself and Time, under the ownership of a girl named Calista.
In It's Still Rocket Roll to Me, Tate and Liza were using Baltoy's Confusion to recreate weightlessness during a Pokémon Battle, even though their main Pokémon already possess the ability to float in mid-air. Later in that same episode, these Clay Doll Pokémon stopped Team Rocket from stealing the rocketship.

- To this day, no game sprites, anime episode, or TCG cards show Baltoy with its eyes open.
Origin
Its design is similar to the 遮光器土偶 shakōkidogū - a "spaceman" clay figurine from the Jōmon period of Japanese history.
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.
