Strategy Overview
Klang is one of the fantastic Steel-type tanks of PU, providing a long list of sought-after resistances to Flying, Grass, and more to plenty of teams of all varieties. When this is combined with Klang's impressive bulk, it stands as one of the sturdiest walls in PU. Klang even has Volt Switch, making it into an effective pivot. Unfortunately, Klang's subpar Attack and reliance on Toxic to deal damage makes it into a particularly passive wall. Klang also can get worn down easily, as it takes full damage from entry hazards and lacks any recovery outside of Rest. Add in Klang's weaknesses to common attacking types like Fighting and Ground from threats like Monferno and Marowak, and it might struggle to stay around for as long as it wants.
