Klang 76/108 · Dark Explorers

Dark Explorers is a set in the Black & White series. It was released on 9 May 2012. The printed size is 108. This checklist is longer, at 111 cards. Klang is 76/108, in position 76 of 111 on this checklist. Before it is 75 Klink, and after it is 77 Klinklang. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Klang is a Stage 1 Metal Pokémon with 80 HP. In the Pokédex this is Klang (#600), generation 5 (Unova). The card says it evolves from Klink. In this catalog that name is Klink (#599). The card lists Klinklang under evolves to.

Shin Nagasawa illustrated this card. The same name is on 303 other cards in the catalog.

Klang (#600) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Klang 75/114 in Black & White (2011). Both list 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Naoki Saito illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 7 other cards of Klang list a different HP.

The attack Charge Beam lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, attach an Energy card from your discard pile to this Pokémon. Vice Grip is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Spinning minigears are rotated at high speed and repeatedly fired away. It is dangerous if the gears don't return."

I keep a set binder for Dark Explorers, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Dark Explorers set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Klang can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
