Klinklang is one of NU's most notorious setup sweepers out there; it capitalizes on recent drops like Diancie and Gigalith and overall viable Pokemon in NU such as Sneasel and Vanilluxe, as it is able to set up against these Pokemon and force them out immediately with the threat of a strong STAB attack. Shift Gear is what makes Klinklang such a monstrous threat in battle; the move increases its Speed by two stages, letting it outspeed the entire tier, and also boosts its Attack by one stage. Wild Charge in tandem with Electrium Z enables Klinklang to break past traditional checks like Slowbro. While Klinklang doesn't have a large amount of checks after using Shift Gear, checks like Steelix, Palossand, and Rotom are rather common, so checks to these Pokemon are advised. Water-types such as Slowbro and Blastoise make for good teammates, effectively dealing with Steelix and Palossand. In addition, Dark- and Ice-types like Incineroar, Guzzlord, and Vanilluxe can handle Slowbro, Palossand, and Rotom with efficiency.

i'd mention something about how these drops can also lure klinklang's checks (choice specs diancie, or just variants with earth power, and offensive variants of gigalith can chip tf out of steelix and choice specs diancie can opt to run hidden power fire for ferroseed) and give it any easier job with bypassing them.

other than that, 1/1. gwork.

Shift Gear is what makes Klinklang such a monstrous threat in battle; increasing the move increases its Speed by 2 two stages, outspeeding letting it outspeed the entire tier, and also augmenting boosts its Attack by 1 one stage. Wild Charge in tandem with Electrium Z enables Klinklang to break past traditional checks like Slowbro. While Klinklang doesn't have a large amount of checks subsequent to using shift gear after using Shift Gear, checks like Steelix, Slowbro if lacking Electrium Z (The listed set has Electrium Z as the only item slash, consider cutting this example i guess? it sounds weird anyway), Palossand, and Rotom are rather common, so checks to these Pokemon are advised. Water-types such as opposing (it's not opposing if it's a teammate) Slowbro and Blastoise make for good teammates, effectively dealing with Steelix and Palossand. Whereas In addition, (AC) Dark- and Ice-types like Vanilluxe, (RC) Incineroar, and Guzzlord, (AC) and Vanilluxe can handle Slowbro, Palossand, and Rotom with efficency efficiency.
