Clemontic Gear (Japanese: シトロニックギア, Hepburn: Citronic Gear, Hepburn: Shitoronikku Gia) is a menagerie of devices invented and assembled by Clemont. They are typically employed whenever the gang or someone else encounters or has been suffering from a problem, though there are instances where he employs them in non-problematic situations for other reasons. Most of his inventions are stored inside of his Bag.
As a running gag, most of his devices end up exploding due to various causes (mostly because they go over their limit) which for the most part just leave the group with charred clothing and ruined hair, but on some instances the explosions either cause or play into an individual episode's plot, often involving the gang dealing with their aftermath, or, conversely, when they actually help to resolve the plot, though these cases are much rarer. The reason why half the time his devices tend to fail is because the majority of them are unpolished prototypes.
Each device is built and named by Clemont, though other characters such as Bonnie, Serena and Team Rocket have commented on how terrible they are. For context, Clemont's names for his inventions are usually overly long descriptions of their functions (Electricity-Has-No-Effect-On-Me-Atron, No-Need-for-Water-type-Pokémon-Food-Chinchou-Model-Magikarp-Magnet, etc.) though on occasion some names have been decent (Aipom Arm, Pokémon Power Meter, Flower Arranger One, Other Dimension Converter, Robo Step-by-Step, Search in a Second and Clemontic Thermograph. Note that plenty of these names are also just descriptions of what they do; they're just not overly long.)
