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 derived from clink and clang, both of which its pre-evolutions are named after. Gigigiaru is probably derived from ギア gia (gear).
