 | | Claydol became popular because of its pretty good defensive ability, immunity to spikes, ability to remove spikes while not taking damage from them via rapid spin, having access to ice beam, explosion, and stab eq for killing weak stuff. |
 | | Yeah, Donphan can do more damage to Dusclops seeing how its Earthquake hurts a lot worse than claydol's (compare don's cool 120 base attack to claydol's weak 70), and Starmie is a plain menace with its special movepool and Recover, but Claydol has its advantages as a spinner that cannot be ignored. |
 | | Claydol's only use is to get all 386 Pokedex entries. |
