Attacker

Strategy & play

How Claydol plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

Its main attack (Hyper Beam) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
Needs Psychic Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
Psychic type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥40 effectively one-shots it.
A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
A Stage 1 — one step up from Baltoy; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
Seen in 0% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 3 copies.

How to beat Claydol

Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥40 damage one-shots it.
Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Claydol is real?

Claydol is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
