Although a unique and fun Pokemon, Klinklang has only one decent moveset. Don't let this fool you, as this moveset is Klinklang's bread and butter! Let's take a peek!
Spinning Gears
EV Spread: 132 HP/252 Attack/124 Speed
Nature: Adamant
Item: Life Orb/Leftovers
Moves
-Shift Gear
-Gear Grind
-Return
-Volt Switch
This moveset is wonderful as it incorporates Klinklang's two signature moves: Shift Gear and Gear Grind. With a first turn Shift Gear, Klinklang gains +2 Speed and +1 Attack, after which Gear Grind hits harder than a Metagross using Meteor Mash. Return is included as Klinklang's moveset is fairly shallow, and Volt Switch is a good way to keep Klinklang out of danger while still dishing out some damage.
Well, that is our look into Black and White's new addition to the Steel type family, the Gear Pokemon: Klinklang!
