Stats & Training
Defense and Attack carry most of Klinklang's stat budget. HP's the obvious dump stat. Tough to catch and yields 3 Defense EVs. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
The gear with the red core is rotated at high speed for a rapid energy charge.
Its red core functions as an energy tank. It fires the charged energy through its spikes into an area.
Klinklang Weakness
Fire, Fighting, and Ground moves hit Klinklang for super-effective damage. The upside? Poison-type moves can't touch it at all. With 10 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Klinklang's physical bulk (base 115 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Fighting, Ground |
