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

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

Biology

Klinklang resembles 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 left eye, a black circle for its right eye, and a sharply angled white frown. Klinklang can fire tiny gears at high speeds in the form of Gear Grind and Shift Gear, its signature moves.

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.

Minor appearances

Two Klinklang make a brief cameo in Team Eevee and the Pokémon Rescue Squad! powering two separate helicopters. One of them appeared again in Curtain Up, Unova League! and Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening.

A Klinklang makes a brief appearance on a television monitor in Genesect and the Legend Awakened.

Trivia

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.
