Stats & Training
Sp. Def and Defense carry most of Baltoy's stat budget. HP's the obvious dump stat. Easy to catch and yields 1 Sp. Def EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
BALTOY moves while spinning around on its one foot. Primitive wall paintings depicting this POKéMON living among people were discovered in some ancient ruins.
As soon as it spots others of its kind, BALTOY congregates with them and then begins crying noisily in unison. This POKéMON sleeps while cleverly balancing itself on its one foot.
Baltoy Weakness
Baltoy's Ground/Psychic typing leaves it vulnerable to Water, Grass, Ice, Bug, Ghost, and Dark. It shrugs off Electric-type attacks completely. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Levitate grants an additional Ground immunity, reshaping the matchup chart.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Water, Grass, Ice, Bug, Ghost, Dark |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fighting, Poison, Psychic, Rock |
| 0x (Immune) | Electric |
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
