Trivia

• Klang and its evolutionary relatives are currently the only pure Steel-type Pokémon related by evolution.
• Klang and its evolutionary relatives are the only non-Electric-type Pokémon able to learn ThunderShock.

Origin

Klang is based on interlocking gears, more specifically the sun and planet gears. 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

Klang is a corruption of clang. Gigiaru is probably derived from ギア gia (gear).
