Claydol · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Claydol card
Numbered 95 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Claydol is a Rare, a Stage 1 Psychic-type carrying 120 HP.
It evolves from Baltoy, so Claydol is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Claydol carries this Pokédex flavor text: "It appears to have been born from clay dolls made by ancient people. It uses telekinesis to float and move."
What is Claydol worth?
Claydol is a non-holo Rare. In Obsidian Flames, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Claydol trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Claydol before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Non-holo Rares like Claydol are easier on surface but no kinder on centering. These cards were less protected than the holos, so high-grade Claydol survivors can be scarcer than expected, with edge whitening the usual cap.
If you are collecting Claydol
For Claydol, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Claydol rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
