Klinklang (Japanese: ギギギアル Gigigiaru) is a Steel-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Klang starting at level 49. It is the final form of Klink.

Biology

Physiology

Klinklang looks identical to its pre-evolution, Klang, except for the additions of a red-topped gear on its lower side and a thin, spiked rim below it.

Gender differences

Klinklang are a genderless species.

Behavior

Klinklang charges energy by spinning its red-topped gear and releases it through the spiked gear at the bottom. Its red core functions as an energy tank and if spun at high speed, it will result in a rapid energy change.

Major appearances

Klinklang appeared in White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram with Klink and Klang under the ownership of Eindoak Town mayor Mannes. He used the three for various tasks, such as powering the music machine at Eindoak Town's Harvest Festival, doing yard work on his property and finally, powering his helicopter in the climax of the films.

Klinklang made its anime TV debut in Evolution Exchange Excitement!. One appeared in Chargestone Cave, where it had a pen that was left behind by Cedric Juniper stuck in its gears. The same Klinklang later appeared in a flashback in Battling the Bully!, when it was revealed that the Sunglasses Krokorok threw the pen into its gears by accident.

Trivia

• Klinklang and its evolutionary relatives are the only pure Steel-type Pokémon related by evolution.
• Klinklang and its evolutionary relatives are the only non-Electric-type Pokémon able to learn ThunderShock.
• Klinklang is the same height as its pre-evolution.

Origin

Klinklang is based on interlocking gears, more specifically a combination of sun and planet gears, a bevel gear and an external gear. The Klink line's Shiny coloration may have been based on copper gears, as their noses have turned green as copper does when it oxidizes into such compounds as copper carbonate, forming a patina.

Name origin

Klinklang is a combination of Klink and Klang, making it also a combination of clink and clang (onomatopoeia for metal striking a surface). It may also involve link, possibly referring to how the four gears are connected.

Gigigiaru is derived from gear, with gi repeated twice to denote the addition of Klang's fourth gear.
