Clemont grew up in [[Lumiose City]] in the [[Kalos]] region with his father, [[Meyer]], and his little sister, {{an|Bonnie}}. Sometime later, Clemont was sent to a academy by his father that specialized in studying {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. His old teacher [[Éclairisse]] described him as a brilliant student, who was still a child when he graduated, as opposed to most other graduates, who were young adults or adults. Despite this, Clemont had trouble with the research for his graduation assignment. During a recreational stroll, he found an exhausted {{p|Shinx}}. Without hesitation, he immediately brought him to a [[Pokémon Center]] where he was quickly healed. [[Nurse Joy]] told him Electric-type Pokémon were often brought in, having lost a lot of energy. She figured they wouldn't suffer from electricity loss if there was a place where they could freely absorb energy. This gave Clemont the idea to build an invention he called the "Clemontic Shower". The idea was a success, being highly acclaimed by teachers, and caused Clemont to graduate. | |||
Years later, after returning home, Clemont eventually became the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Lumiose Gym]] in order to understand Electric-type Pokémon even better. However, he found that being a Gym Leader ate into his spare time and gave him little time to spend with his beloved inventions, so he created [[Clembot]], a "Gym Leader robot", to stand in for him when he was busy. He programmed it to be tough on challengers and that its ideal opponent would have at least four Badges. However, this went wrong, as it caused Clembot to reject challengers with less than four Badges and instead of just being 'tough', Clembot turned violent and would shock Trainers whose challenge it rejected (or, as it later turned out, who lost to it) and eject them from the Gym. Clemont himself was deemed to be an undesired challenger as he had no badges. Clemont attempted to set Clembot to "Master Recognition mode" so he could reprogram it, but it hadn't registered the pass-code he expected it to, so he was ousted from the Gym and cut off from his Pokémon. He eventually gave up trying to reenter, as Clembot refused to allow him past the entrance. | Years later, after returning home, Clemont eventually became the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Lumiose Gym]] in order to understand Electric-type Pokémon even better.

As seen in ''[[XY088|A Trip Down Memory Train!]]'', Clemont spent most of his time afterward wandering around the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] brainstorming ways to take back his Gym. There a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} stole an apple Bonnie had offered to share with Clemont causing the siblings to chase him, and ultimately fall, into a series of abandoned subway tunnels underneath the city. After discovering that Bunnelby's intentions were good and the apple was to help feed his friends, Clemont saved Bunnelby when his group was attacked by a wild {{p|Diggersby}} - who was trying to take the abandoned subway car as its own. Using his Aipom Arm, Clemont managed to remove Bunnelby from the Digging Pokémon's reach and escape with him, Bonnie, and the rest of Bunnelby's friends. | As seen in ''[[XY088|A Trip Down Memory Train!]]'', Clemont spent most of his time afterward wandering around the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] brainstorming ways to take back his Gym.

Clemont is an intelligent inventor who takes pride in his gadgets and science in general, and although his devices usually do what he wants them to do, they only function for a few minutes or even a few seconds before exploding. Whenever he introduces one of his inventions, his glasses shine and he usually says, "''The future is now, thanks to science!''", demonstrating his anticipation of situations that require the help of his machines. He claims to have an invention for just about every situation the group finds themselves in, regardless of the nature of that situation, even normally inconceivable ones like [[Mirror World|alternate dimension]] traveling. When confronting Xerosic, he expressed the belief that inventions should be used to help people and Pokémon get along, as opposed to the other scientist, who believed such inventions could not truly change the world. | Clemont is an intelligent inventor who takes pride in his gadgets and science in general, and although his devices usually do what he wants them to do, they only function for a few minutes or even a few seconds before exploding.

Even if he takes pride in his accomplishments, Clemont has a tendency to be very modest around people outside of his close acquaintances and friends. For example, when {{TRT}} (in disguise) was complimenting him on his inventions in ''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]'', he was visibly embarrassed but gratified all the same. In addition to this, Clemont is apparently afraid of being seen on-camera. When Bonnie wanted him to make his own [[Pokévision]] video, he was shaking the entire time on screen and kept blushing and stammering. Later on, when he and the others posed for a group photo with [[Korrina]], he was standing rigidly and had a forced smile on his face while the others were all very relaxed. Clemont has also shown particular nervousness about trying new things in general. In ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'', he was extremely anxious about riding a {{p|Skiddo}}, so the Pokémon sensed that fear and kept bucking him off of it. | Even if he takes pride in his accomplishments, Clemont has a tendency to be very modest around people outside of his close acquaintances and friends.

Clemont is not very athletic, as he easily gets tired while running, or fails to do tasks that require physical activity like [[XY036|gliding with a wingsuit]]. Despite this, if the situation calls for it, he can have a reckless side, as shown in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]'' when he grabbed a rock, jumped in the air, and aggressively smashed the remote that Team Rocket was using to trap all the {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} in a cage. | Clemont is not very athletic, as he easily gets tired while running, or fails to do tasks that require physical activity like [[XY036|gliding with a wingsuit]].

* Out of all of Ash's main traveling companions, Clemont had the most known Pokémon prior to his {{pkmn|journey}}, with four, although {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, {{TP|Clemont|Magneton}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Magnemite}} were left behind at the [[Lumiose Gym]]. | * Out of all of Ash's main traveling companions, Clemont had the most known Pokémon prior to his {{pkmn|journey}}, with four, although {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, {{TP|Clemont|Magneton}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Magnemite}} were left behind at the [[Lumiose Gym]]. | ||
