Klinklang is based on interlocking gears, more specifically a combination of sun and planet gears, a bevel gear and an external gear. The Klink line’s Shiny coloration may have been based on copper gears, as their noses have turned green as copper does when it oxidizes into such compounds as copper carbonate, forming a patina.
Klinklang is a combination of Klink and Klang, making it also a combination of clink and clang (onomatopoeia for metal striking a surface). It may also involve link, possibly referring to how the four gears are connected.
Gigigiaru is derived from gear, with gi repeated twice to denote the addition of Klang’s fourth gear.

Klinklang resembles four interlocking gears, with six teeth on the smaller two gears and eight teeth on the larger gear. The fourth gear is on its lower side, and is red-topped with a thin, spiked rim below it. The red core is used to store energy gained from the rotating gears. This energy can be released through the spiked gear at the bottom. The teeth of the smaller gears are a light gray, while their central regions are much darker. The teeth of the larger gear are a medium gray and its central region is darker. The left eye of the smaller gear is a white “X”, while its right eye has a black pupil and a white sclera. It has a round green nose and a small mouth. The largest gear appears to have a face with a black square for its left eye, a black circle for its right eye, and a sharply angled white frown. Dialogue between the two faced gears in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series suggests that both gears are independently sentient from one another.[1] Klinklang can fire tiny gears at high speeds in the form of Gear Grind and Shift Gear, its signature moves.
