Physical Sweeper Baltoy (Levitate)
Baltoy is a spectacular Physical Sweeper. It tries to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Baltoy is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield until Eviolte was added to the mix. If Eviolite is held by a Pokémon that is not fully evolved, it will raises the Defense and Special Defense of that Pokemon by 50%.

Life Orb boosts the power of Baltoy's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Levitate, Baltoy is immune to ground; gravity/ingrain/smack down/iron ball nullify it.
