Strategy Overview
Klang is one of the few viable Steel-types in the tier with its role being a late-game RestTalk Shift Gear sweeper. Its Steel typing is a defensive boon, letting it resist common threats such as Tangela and Roselia. Its good bulk with Eviolite and Steel-typing allow it to easily set up, however it is easily worn down so relies on Rest to heal itself. Unfortunately, Klang has a really poor movepool, so it's walled easily by type-advantaged opponents such as Monferno and Stunfisk. Klang relies on a lot of support from teammates and is weak before using Shift Gear.
