CARDEX BACKGROUND
About the species
Claydol resembles a clay figurine made by a very ancient civilisation. According to stories, a mysterious light brought it to life. It moves by levitating and can fire beams from its arms. Its material nevertheless has a surprising weakness: water is said to make it melt, so it surrounds itself with psychic energy on rainy days. The Pokédex thus combines an uncertain archaeological origin with a very present-day way of protecting itself from the elements.
This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.A detail worth noticing
Pokémon Ultra Sun credits Claydol with psychic protection against rain, because its body is said to melt on contact with water. Pokémon Alpha Sapphire places its model among figurines from a civilisation more than twenty thousand years old. Its apparent solidity therefore conceals a material fragility.
