Slow is good when Trick Room is up, and Bronzong is about as slow as they come. Steel/Psychic typing gives it a defined role on the team. Levitate gives it a Ground immunity. Poison moves can't touch it, and only 2 types hit it super-effectively.
The stat bars tell the story: Defense carries everything and Speed's dead weight. But this Bronze Bell Pokemon still yields 2 Defense and Sp. Def EVs per fight on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It brought rains by opening portals to another world. It was revered as a bringer of plentiful harvests.
Bronzong Weakness
ExcellentFire and Ground-type moves hit Bronzong for super-effective damage. The upside? Poison-type moves can't touch it at all. It resists 8 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Levitate grants an additional Ground immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Bronzong's overall bulk (67/116/116) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
Bronzong is what Bronzor becomes. Breed it for Bronzor eggs (average hatch time). A decent partner pool for breeding via one egg group. Eggs are average hatch time. The evolution from Bronzor pushed Bronzong to 500 total stats. Attack saw the largest single gain at +65.
How to Evolve
Breed with Bronzong to get Bronzor eggs (with patience) using 49 partners from the Mineral egg group.
Ditto only
Lead with Bronzong, set Stealth Rock, and keep pressure on. Levitate and Leftovers buy the time it needs, with HP-heavy investment EVs letting it take hits while controlling the hazard game.

The level-up pool is slim, so TMs matter here. Bronzong's coverage across 8 types all comes from technical machines, built on top of Future Sight and Dream Eater for same-type damage. Future Sight and Dream Eater are the payoff moves.
