Find Klang’s original Black and White encounter records, Generation V Steel typing, base stats, abilities, evolution family and level-up moves.

Edition covered

Original Black and White; their sequels have different routes and encounter availability.

01

Generation V identity and base stats

Klang is Unova #106 and National #600. Its original Black and White typing is Steel. These figures describe the standard form in the original Nintendo DS games.

The illustration uses a standard Generation V sprite; colour, gender or seasonal forms can differ in the cartridge.

Where to obtain it in Black and White

Check the version and method columns before travelling. An encounter listed as a gift or stationary interaction does not mean Klang appears in ordinary grass. Level ranges combine matching slots within the same recorded condition.

The encounter dataset has no direct original Black/White location for this species. Check the evolution family and the linked collection guide rather than assuming it cannot be obtained.

Friendship evolution uses the original Generation V threshold. Trades require a compatible second game and system; trading an Everstone holder prevents the evolution.

A Hidden Ability in the data is not proof of an obtainable original-game specimen. Some Hidden Abilities were never released in Generation V; the starter Contrary/Reckless/Shell Armor slots and Litwick-line Shadow Tag cannot be treated as ordinary Black/White catches.

The No Eggs / Undiscovered group cannot produce Eggs. An Egg move must be inherited through an eligible parent in these original games; it is not automatically learned by every caught specimen.

Level 1 entries are starting or reminder moves, not a guarantee that a later caught specimen already knows all of them. Evolution timing can change which moves are learned before the evolved form takes over. The Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale.

FIELD NOTE

Use the exact Black or White method and condition before hunting Klang. Event prerequisites and evolution-only species need a different collection plan from ordinary wild encounters.
