Strategy Overview

Klinklang stands out as a setup sweeper thanks to its signature move Shift Gear, which boosts its Attack by one stage and Speed by two stages. Its solid defensive typing and decent natural bulk combined with HP investment makes it a soft check to Psychic- and Flying-types that also performs well as an offensive Venusaur check. However, it's easily stopped by common RU physical walls like Druddigon and Steel-types due to its quite limited movepool. Plus, it's weak to common types in the metagame such as Fighting, Ground, and Fire, but it still performs as a unique sweeper in the RU metagame.
