Bronzong Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Bronzong looks average on paper at 500 BST. But Levitate is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. B-Tier trick room on our tier list. Gyroball with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, watch for Arcanine (Fire), Swampert (Ground), and Misdreavus (Ghost) when using Bronzong. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Dark-type attackers are also a problem. At base 33 Speed, Bronzong won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Bronzong gets Levitate, Heatproof, and Heavy Metal. But Levitate is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Bronzong is a physical attacker with base 89 Attack. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 33 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the trick room role.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Gyroball, Trickroom, Stealth Rock, and Explosion on Bronzong. Gyroball is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the trick room role with a mix of damage and utility.
