Klink can launch itself at opponents. Klink and its evolved forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Gear Grind}}. Prior to [[Generation VII]], {{m|Shift Gear}} was also one of its signature moves. Once two bodies have joined, they cannot combine with any others or they will become separated. Klink generates its life energy by spinning, and is generally found in caves. According to [[Professor Juniper]], the first recorded evidence of this Pokémon dates to around 100 years ago, in the [[Chargestone Cave]]; she believes that it suddenly appeared in the cave at that time. However, it is also believed that Klink are the inspiration behind the first gears invented by ancient people. | Klink can launch itself at opponents.

Klink (Japanese: ギアル Giaru) is a Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves into Klang starting at level 38, which evolves into Klinklang starting at level 49.
Biology
Klink is a Pokémon resembling two interlocking gears with six teeth each. The teeth of the gears are light-gray, with a darker central region. Each gear has a white "X" in place of its left eye, while their right eyes have a black pupil and white sclerae. They have round turquoise noses and small mouths.
Klink can launch itself at opponents. Klink and its evolved forms are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Gear Grind. Prior to Generation VII, Shift Gear was also one of its signature moves. Once two bodies have joined, they cannot combine with any others or they will become separated. Klink generates its life energy by spinning, and is generally found in caves. According to Professor Juniper, the first recorded evidence of this Pokémon dates to around 100 years ago, in the Chargestone Cave; she believes that it suddenly appeared in the cave at that time. However, it is also believed that Klink are the inspiration behind the first gears invented by ancient people.
Evolution
Klink evolves into Klang, which evolves into Klinklang.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

In the TCG
- Main article: Klink (TCG)
Trivia
- Klink represents June in the Unova horoscope.
- In Generation V games, Klink's battle animation shows that its faces spin at a greater speed than its gear teeth. This is inconsistent with its evolutions, whose gears and faces rotate at equal speeds.
- The idea for Klink's evolutionary line came from Ken Sugimori,[1] while the designs were done by Keiko Moritsugu.[2]
Origin
Klink is based on gears;[1] specifically, it appears to be based on a pair of interlocking spur, helical, or herringbone gears. Klink also resembles the simplest concept of the perpetual motion machine, as it is just two gears that repeatedly spin each other.
Name origin
Klink may be derived from clink (onomatopoeia for light metal striking a surface). It may also involve link and click.
Giaru may be derived from ギア gear.
