PLACE IN THE META: Klinklang is one of three new Pokémon families confirmed to be coming to GO in the first wave of Unova Pokémon on September 16. While it will likely be better than Watchog and Stoutland, it will struggle to stand out among the ever-expanding field of Pokémon.
Klinklang will not be able to compete with the likes of Metagross with Meteor Mash (especially since it cannot learn any Steel-type Fast Attack). Klinklang also won't be able to compete with the variety of strong Electric-type Pokémon (as it will likely get many Electric moves).
LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Klinklang:
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Klinklang:
Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Klinklang's movepool:
LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Klinklang gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.
