Stats & Training
Klang's spread isn't flashy. Defense leads, Speed trails, 3 stats clear the bar. Moderately hard to find and worth 2 Defense EVs, on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
When Klang goes all out, the minigear links up perfectly with the outer part of the big gear, and this Pokémon’s rotation speed increases sharply.
Many companies in the Galar region choose Klang as their logo. This Pokémon is considered the symbol of industrial technology.
Klang Weakness
Klang is weak to Fire, Fighting, and Ground. On the flip side, it's immune to Poison-type moves entirely. 10 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. With 60 HP and balanced defenses, Klang can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Klang Guide
In Sun & Moon, Klang isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Klinklang to unlock its full potential. At 440 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
Plus is the go-to ability for Klang. It increases Special Attack to 1.5× when a friendly Pokémon has plus or minus. Its hidden ability Clear Body can work in specific setups. Minus is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
In Sun & Moon, Klang fills the balanced role. It's a mixed attacker with base 80 Attack and 70 Sp. Atk. Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Game Availability
Introduced in Black & White, Klang has appeared in 7 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
