Klink is a Pokémon resembling two interlocking gears with six teeth each. The teeth of the gears are light-gray, with a darker central region. Each gear has a white "X" in place of its left eye, while their right eyes have a black pupil and white sclerae. They have round turquoise noses and small mouths.
Klink can launch itself at opponents in the form of Gear Grind and Shift Gear, its current and former signature moves, respectively. Once two bodies have joined, they cannot combine with any others or they will become separated. Klink generates its life energy by spinning, and is generally found in caves. According to Professor Juniper, the first recorded evidence of this Pokémon dates to around 100 years ago, in the Chargestone Cave; she believes that it suddenly appeared in the cave at that time. However, it is also believed that Klink are the inspiration behind the first gears invented by ancient people.

In Generation V games, Klink's battle animation shows that its faces spin at a greater speed than its gear teeth. This is inconsistent with its evolutions, whose gears and faces rotate at equal speeds.
The idea for Klink's evolutionary line came from Ken Sugimori, while the designs were done by Keiko Moritsugu.
