# Klinklang #77/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Klinklang is the final form of Unova's gear line, a Metal Stage 2 whose cult following rests more on its odd mechanical design than on raw popularity. In Dark Explorers it was a plain Rare, a mid-tier pull, with Metal Blast rewarding decks built around heavy Metal Energy. The modelled guide sits at $1.30, down 2% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, with 65 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $550, 423 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
