Thread: Bronzor and Bronzong

Ok I really don't like this pokemon. So I decied to make this thread to see if anyone liked this pokemon and found it to be useful. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section it was a toss up between t6his place and the video game part.

I hate battling those things. They are really really useful for catching fleeing pokemon like the dogs. I use mine and make him use Block, because they can take hits while you're throwing pokeballs. Ive never battled with one, but I know they're a pain to play against.

Their designs are fine, and Bronzong in particular can put up a good fight. I see nothing wrong with them.

Bronzong using Trick Room and Gyro Ball is an awesome combo. Mine knows: Hypnosis, Trick Room, Gyro Ball, and Psychic. Pretty damn strong.

Zong is a pretty epic Gravity lead. It almost always gets to set up SR and Gravity when I use that team.

Didn't know he could learn stealth rock...perhaps I'll consider using him as a lead instead of my Gliscor

I kind of like the duo actually. I am not sure if you had read the "On the Origin of Species" article of the duo. If you haven't, then you can check it out: On the Origin of Species: Bronzor and Bronzong. I find the fact that Bronzong isn't a Pokemon by a trainer in the game amusing, seeing how he can exist in the wild and have high defences. I am guessing that Bronzong is quite a tough Pokemon that the designers purposely gave even Byron and Team Galactic members Bronzor to make it easier, only making it an opponent in the Elite Four.

Bronzor's design is ok, kinda cute in my opinion. Bronzong is fairly cool. It also seems to be useful for battling and can take hits. I'll probably use one at some point as I like trying out new Pokemon.

I think the both Pokémon are targeted at history lovers. Their design looks oldy. Also, I don't like them much too, they're really a pain to battle!

I find the designs neat looking and the story they're based on is cool,but I hate to see them on the opposing side as I run a Tailwind team.

I used one in Platinum once, and it wasn't a very good Pokemon (until I put Psychic and Flash Cannon on it). It was, however, always good at taking hits, and I got extremely lucky to have one with a Modest nature. It can be really good if you teach it Psychic, Flash Cannon, Sunny Day and SolarBeam.

I've never really liked using them, but they can be a huge pain to battle, especially with their incredibly diverse support movepool and large number of resistances.

While I still think they're kind of ugly, they do have a very interesting story as the inspiration for their designs. They're great support 'mons and make niche counters to a lot of things that are otherwise quite difficult to handle, but the lack of reliable recovery makes them very easy to wear down.
