Bronzong Analysis

[mudkip123]

Bronzong is very underrated. This thing as a huge movepool, even though it has no egg moves It also has the defences to stall, and even the Atk power to sweep. It is lacking a bit in speed, but it makes up for it with the very interesting new move, trick room... Another thing it has going for it is it's awesome typing. the Psychic Steel combination leaves only weaknesses to fire and ground, and Bronzong has a choice of abilities which either make fire do normal damage, or render it immune to ground. The better of these two is Levitate, since ground is a more common attack type, and an immunity is better than having normal damage.


Name: Bronzong
Pokedex Number: 437
Classification: Bronze Bell
Height: 4'03"
Weight: 412.3 lbs

Here are some great competitive battling movesets

Moveset 1:

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 130 Def / 128 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Heal Block
- Block
- Toxic
- Rest

"The blocker". This thing is great on sandstorm teams (especially with perma-sandstorm from tyranitar) against the bulky waters (water pokemon like suicune and milotic which dont die easily). All it needs to do is block, and then use heal block to prevent them from healing. Toxic and sandstorm damage can then be used to effectively outlast them, and rest can be used to stop status conditions (its immune to toxic anyway) and restore HP while the bulky water can not. This is great, because bulky water pokemon are a huge threat to sandstorm teams.

Moveset 2:

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Trait: HeatProof
EVs: 252 HP / 130 Def / 128 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Imprison
- Toxic
- Rest

"I have no weaknesses". This is used in more situations than the first, as it can do the same type of thing against any pokemon that switches in. Imprison means that as long as Bronzong stays in, the opponent's party can no longer use any of it's moves. And this means that it is no longer vunerable to earthquake damage. It can also outlast some of the pokemon who like to use rest to heal, like some of the swamperts you may face (since they cant EQ you). With the main ground threat gone, this thing is free to use HeatProof over Levitiate

Moveset 3:

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 130 Atk / 128 SDef (also minimise speed DV)
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Trick Room
- Explosion
- Gyro Ball
- Hypnosis

"Boom". This version offers something different, and is very very unpredictable. Basically, you use trick room with your tiny tiny speed, and you instantly become one of the fastest pokemon in the game in terms of attack speed. Here, you use moves like Hypnosis and Explosion, which work really well with high speed, allowing you to do a lot of damage to a person's party. Gyro Ball is for things like ninjask and aerodactyl, who, under trick room, have some of the lowest attack speeds in the game, but the highest actual speeds. This will deal a lot of damage to them

Plz Post ways to improve Bronzong or even make another moveset

[MikeDecIsHere]

The only move set that's good out of all of those is the third move set. You also need to make the Speed IVs 0 in order to completely lower Bronzong's speed.

Your first set is a total gimmick, and complete Taunt Bait.
Imprison is also a complete gimmick, only being viable in VGC 2011 to stop Trick Room.
