Yes |
Light Clay can only be obtained as held items from wild Baltoy or Claydol. Each of these Pokémon has a 5% chance of holding a Light Clay, but you can use your DexNav to improve your odds.
The Light Clay is a held item that extends the effect of the holder’s Light Screen and Reflect, from 5 to 8 turns.
Stealing from Wild Baltoy or Claydol
Light Clay can be found in the wild with either Baltoy or Claydol. You can encounter Baltoy in the desert area of Route 111, while Claydol can be found on any floor of Sky Pillar.
Both Pokémon can be found simply by exploring these areas on foot.
When you encounter either Pokémon, there’s a 5% chance they will be holding a Light Clay.
To take the item you can just use a Pokémon that knows TM46 Thief. But if you want more details on how to optimally farm held items from wild Pokémon then check out this guide.
Uses
The Light Clay is a held item that extends the duration of the holder’s barrier moves, such as Light Screen and Reflect. It extends these moves from 5 turns to 8 turns.
Ordinarily, Light Screen and Reflect – which halves the damage from special and physical attacks respectively – only lasts for 5 turns.
Light Screen and Reflect are two of the best support moves in the game, shutting down most attempts to wipe out a team with a sweeper.
Commonly referred to as Dual Screening, using both Reflect and Light Screen can turn fragile glass cannon Pokémon into bulkier Pokémon – and also make already bulky Pokémon even harder to take down.
