Klinklang (Japanese:ギギギアルGigigiaru) is aSteel-typePokémon introduced inGeneration V.

Itevolves fromKlang starting atlevel 49. It is the final form ofKlink.

Biology

Klinklang is aPokémon resembling four interlocking gears, with six teeth on the smaller two gears and eight teeth on the larger gear. The fourth gear is on its lower side, and is red-topped with a thin, spiked rim below it. The red core is used to store energy gained from the rotating gears. This energy can be released through the spiked gear at the bottom. The teeth of the smaller gears are a light gray, while their central regions are much darker. The teeth of the larger gear are a medium gray and its central region is darker. The left eye of the smaller gear is a white "X", while its right eye has a black pupil and a white sclera. It has a round green nose and a small mouth. The largest gear appears to have a face with a black square for its right eye, a black circle for its left eye, and a sharply angled white frown.

Dialogue between the two faced gears in thePokémon Mystery Dungeon series suggests that both gears are independently sentient from one another.^[1] However, the spike gear it gains after evolving is not actually alive. Klinklang's red core is able to contain an enormous amount of energy, which it uses to launch gears as well as powerful blasts of electricity from its spikes.

Klinklang and its pre-evolved forms are theonly known Pokémon capable of learning the moveGear Grind. Prior toGeneration VII,Shift Gear was also one of its signature moves. Its red core gear can spin at high speeds to rapidly charge itself with energy.

Trophy information

NA:This Pokémon evolves in the following order: Klink, Klang, and finally Klinklang. I wonder what it would be called if it evolved again... Klinklangklung? The noise from that Pokémon would be unbearable! Anyway, Klinklang's small, red center gear will spin at high speeds when it's charging up energy.

PAL:From Klink to Klang to Klinklang, this Pokémon gets noisier with each evolution! It has a nice ring to it, though. Maybe all Pokémon should be named this way!Abra,Kadabra, Abrakadabra?Gible,Gabite...Gigabite? Err...Moving on! When it charges up energy, Klinklang spins the small cog with the red core at very high speeds.

Trivia

• Despite being gender unknown, Klinklang is referred to as a male in thePokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond PokéPad entry.
• Klinklang is the only rentable Pokémon to use a move twice as an opponent inDynamax Adventures.
• The idea for Klinklang's evolutionary line came fromKen Sugimori,^[2] while the designs were done byKeiko Moritsugu.^[3]

Origin

Klinklang is based on interlocking gears,^[2] perhaps specifically a combination ofsun and planet gears, abevel gear, and anexternal gear. Its appearance may also be based on abalance wheel. The red core of one of the wheels could be a reference to thejewel bearings in mechanical watches, which are often made out of ruby.

Name origin

Klinklang may be a combination ofKlink andKlang, which in turn resembleclink andclang (onomatopoeias for metal striking a surface).

Gigigiaru may be derived from ギアgear, with the first syllable repeated twice.
