Baltoy (ヤジロン Yajilon in Japanese, Balbuto in French, Puppance in German) is a fictional species from the Pokémon franchise. The first Baltoy seen by humans was discovered in ancient ruins. It moves around by spinning skillfully on its single foot, and is proficient in using Psychic-type moves. Its native habitat is the desert. Baltoy sleeps while balancing on its foot. When seeing other Baltoy, this Pokémon congregates with them and all members of the group begin crying in unison. The reason for the behavior is unknown, but it could be some form of communication.

Baltoy's design is similar to the 遮光器土偶 (shakōkidogū), a "spaceman" clay figurine from the Jōmon period of Japanese history.

The name, Baltoy, is probably a portmanteau of balance and toy. Yajilon is an abbreviation of 弥次郎兵衛 (yajirobe'e), balancing toy.

In the video games

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, wild Baltoy can be found on Route 111, which houses a desert where sandstorms are common. Baltoy are not known to be found in the wild anywhere else. In Pokemon XD Team Cipher Peon Browsix had one to snag.

In the anime

In the Pokémon anime Episode 352, Me, Myself, and Time, Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu save a spinning Baltoy from careening off of a cliff. Its trainer is thankful, and they accompany her on her search for treasure. Baltoy turns out to be the key to opening the treasure's resting place. The treasure is revealed to be an ancient time machine by the trainer's future self and her Baltoy.
