Klink (#599) is a Steel-type Pokémon from the Unova region (Generation 5) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,094 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Klink has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Klink in 2026.
Klink's Attack stat is 98 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Klink may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 121 Defense (Average) and 120 Stamina (Average), the total stat product is 339. Trainers should be mindful of Klink's limited bulk. Compared to other Steel-type Pokémon, Klink's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Klink depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Volt Switch (Fast) with Vice Grip (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Klink has 3 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Klink can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Steel typing provides useful matchups against Poison, Normal, Grass-type threats while being weak to Fire, Fighting, Ground types.
In Master League, Klink faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Klink's effectiveness depends on its typing and 98 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Klink use Fire, Fighting-type moves.
Klink can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Snow weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 5km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Klink is part of a 3-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
