Klinklang in Pokémon Black and White: locations, stats and moves
Find Klinklang’s original Black and White encounter records, Generation V Steel typing, base stats, abilities, evolution family and level-up moves.
Original Black and White; their sequels have different routes and encounter availability.
Generation V identity and base stats
Klinklang is Unova #107 and National #601. 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.

| Stat | Base value |
|---|---|
| HP | 60 |
| Attack | 100 |
| Defense | 115 |
| Sp. Atk | 70 |
| Sp. Def | 85 |
| Speed | 90 |
| Total | 520 |
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 Klinklang 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.

Evolution family and original requirements
| From | Into | Original method |
|---|---|---|
| Klink | Klang | Level 38 |
| Klang | Klinklang | Level 49 |
Friendship evolution uses the original Generation V threshold. Trades require a compatible second game and system; trading an Everstone holder prevents the evolution.
Abilities and breeding reference
| Ability | Slot / availability |
|---|---|
| Plus | Regular ability |
| Minus | Regular ability |
| Clear Body | Hidden slot; historical availability must be checked |
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.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Gender ratio | Genderless |
| Egg group(s) | Mineral |
| Base hatch cycles | 20 |
| Experience growth | Medium Slow |
| Base capture rate | 30 / 255 (not a percentage chance) |
| EV yield when defeated | Defense +3 |
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.

Egg moves and related species
No original Black/White Egg moves are recorded for this standard species.
Use the exact Black or White method and condition before hunting Klinklang. Event prerequisites and evolution-only species need a different collection plan from ordinary wild encounters.
