Prior to becoming a Gym Leader, Clemont used to study at an academy specializing in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in his youth, having been sent there by his father [[Meyer]]. 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.
Clemont grew up in [[Lumiose City]] in the [[Kalos]] region with his father, [[Meyer]], and his little sister, {{an|Bonnie}}. Sometime later, Meyer sent Clemont to an academy that specialized in studying {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. His 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.

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.

Clemont reappeared in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', where he was seen defeating a challenger before reuniting with Ash, who introduced him to his current Pokémon team. When [[Ash's Sirfetch'd]] started to learn a new move, Clemont identified the move as {{m|Meteor Assault}} and used his newest Clemontic Gear to determine why Sirfetch'd was having trouble mastering the move. With Clemont's advice and some inadvertent help from [[Ash's Dracovish]], the move was perfected. Clemont then suggested a [[Double Battle]] to put the new move to the test, which Ash agreed on. The battle quickly ended in Ash's victory.

In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', Clemont joined [[Goh]] and Bonnie in observing Ash's [[World Coronation Series]] match against [[Drasna]]. During the battle, Bonnie revealed that Clemont had also battled Drasna once and lost, although Clemont didn't like being reminded of that.

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.

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.

In addition, Clemont has a {{wp|acrophobia|fear of heights}}, as shown in ''[[XY083|Over the Mountain of Snow]]'', when he freaks out at the top of a steep hill while riding a {{p|Mamoswine}}.


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.

While he does not try to emulate Serena the way he does for Ash, Clemont is shown to have a good deal of respect for her as well. He mentioned to {{kal|Grace}} that he was very grateful for the help Serena regularly gives him when preparing meals for the group - Clemont serves as the group's cook, like {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Cilan}}, and Serena provides dessert for his meals. In ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]'', Clemont was worried about Serena after the [[Pokémon Showcase]] and wondering if she would be all right, showing his concern for her feelings.

Clemont loves his younger sister Bonnie, making sure to always take good care of her. He acts almost like a parent to Bonnie while they are on their journey, such as putting her to bed, making sure she eats a healthy diet, and even catching a Pokémon for her to take care of. He is very prone to worry about her, especially because she has a [[XY014|tendency to]] [[XY041|become separated]] [[XY049|from the group]] due to her innately curious and adventurous nature. Clemont's love and worry for his sister are such that if she is in some sort of danger, he fails to consider things like his own lack of physical ability before wanting to help her. Clemont is quick to scold Bonnie if she does something she shouldn't, something that Bonnie has varied responses to. Sometimes, she responds with humility and apologizes, but at other times, she is resentful towards her brother and becomes angry. Bonnie often tries to find a wife for Clemont, looking for beautiful young girls and telling them that they are "keepers" and asking them to take care of Clemont for her. Every time [[XY064|except one so far]], a highly embarrassed Clemont has dragged Bonnie away with his Aipom arm and scolded her for it.

Clemont mostly specializes in {{type|Electric}}s and has a lot of knowledge about them. However, after being kicked out of his Gym by [[Clembot]] and during his travels with Ash, Clemont [[Clemont's Diggersby|caught]] or [[Clemont's Chespin|obtained]] a Pokémon outside of that preferences. Clemont's Pokémon are pretty strong in battle, as they have shown to withstand any battle, even if they are battling a Pokémon that they are weak against. Clemont also has his Pokémon help him with his inventions, such as using his {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}'s electricity.
Clemont mostly keeps his Electric-type Pokémon at the gym, expect for his {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, who is under {{an|Bonnie}}'s care, and Luxray, so Clembot had some to use for challengers while he wasn't at the gym. Clemont's strongest Electric-types are {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}} and Luxray. Like {{an|Brock}}, Clemont has more than six Pokémon, but doesn't have a full party.
