'''Klang''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギギアル''' ''Gigiaru'') is a {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

Klang is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling three interlocking gears, with six teeth on the smaller two gears and eight teeth on the larger gear. 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 that is wide open. The large gear appears to have a face with a black square for its right eye, a black circle for its left eye, and a sharply angled white frown.  

Klang can fire tiny gears at high speeds. Klang and its evolutionary relatives 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. When it gets angry, its gears rotate faster. Klang communicate with each other by spinning their gears in different directions. Klang is often chosen as a logo for many companies in [[Galar]]. Klang is believed to be the symbol of industrial technology.

===Evolution===

Klang evolves from {{p|Klink}} and evolves into {{p|Klinklang}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

{{main|Klang (TCG)}}

* Klang is the only non-{{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] from [[Generation V]] who has yet to debut in the main series of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

* The idea for Klang's evolutionary line came from [[Ken Sugimori]],<ref name=ND204/> while the designs were done by [[Keiko Moritsugu]].<ref>[https://imgur.com/a/cgf0g14 Archive of deleted tweet by Keiko Moritsugu]</ref>

Klang is based on interlocking gears,<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-6/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> perhaps specifically the {{wp|sun and planet gear}}s.

Klang may be derived from ''clang'' (onomatopoeia for heavy metal striking a surface).  

Gigiaru may be derived from ギア ''gear'' with the first syllable repeated.
