Pokemon Go, despite all of its flaws and its bad management by Niantic, is still a successful AR mobile title. In fact, no other AR game has been able to emulate its level of success, including Niantic itself. A testament to just how influential the Pokemon brand is. Released in 2016, the game saw a meteoric rise in both its popularity and revenue following its launch. The game continues to see the release of new Pokemon, with the latest ones being Wiglett and Wugtrio. With so many Pokemon to catch, it can be quite confusing for new players to know just how rare a certain Pokemon can be to catch in the game. This guide in particular will answer just how rare Claydol is in Pokemon Go. It is a Ground and Psychic-type Pokemon originally introduced back in Generation III. It’s the last evolution of Baltoy. Its in-game description is as stated below:
Claydol is 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.
So, is it rare in Pokemon Go? And if so, then how much?? Well, without much further ado, let’s go ahead and find out all about that.

Claydol made its debut in Pokemon Go on January 23, 2018. It was part of the Hoenn-region Desert-themed Pokemon, released alongside several Pokemon such as Trapinch, Flygon, Torkoal, Aggron, Armaldo, and many more. Then, two years later, on March 27, 2020, Niantic also released its Shiny form at the start of the Psychic Spectacular 2020 event, which also marked the debut of other Pokemon in the game – Gothita, Gothorita, Gothitelle, Solosis, Duosion, and Reunicius.

How rare is Claydol?
Not really rare, actually. Unlike some Pokemon in Pokemon Go, it isn’t region-exclusive or any kind of exclusive Pokemon. All you need to get one is to catch a Baltoy and feed it 50 candy. This will evolve the Baltoy into Claydol. It’s that easy. So, next time you are playing Pokemon Go, keep an eye out for a Baltoy. If you encounter one, don’t forget to catch one and feed it 50 candies to get your own Claydol. Do note that this is the only way to get Claydol in Pokemon Go right now.
