Strategy & play
How Claydol plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Inflicts Confusion — they must flip to attack (tails fails and deals 30 to themselves). Soft, coin-flip disruption.
- Its main attack (Explosion) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Hits for 200 — one-shots most single-prize attackers and many ex, but not 300+ HP walls.
- Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fighting type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥60 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Claydol
- Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥60 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

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.
