Pokédex · IV (Sinnoh)

Bronzor#436

Its strongest point is Defense — higher than 72% of species. On the other hand, Speed — lower than 96% of species. Its base stat total is weak: lower than 86% of species. This is not the final form yet — it evolves once more, so the numbers above describe this stage, not what it will end up as. In defense it has 4 weaknesses, 9 resistances and 1 full immunity at its disposal. Poison-type moves do nothing to it at all. Very easy to catch, often with the first Poké Ball.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Def; weak point: Sp. Atk.

Defense and Sp. Def share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.

Which nature to choose

The stats describe a physical wall — it hits weakly on both sides, but its Defense stays high. A nature does not touch HP, so extra bulk can only be added on this side. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.

  • Bold +Def · −Atk Raises what this species uses to absorb hits, at the cost of Attack — a stat it does not use anyway.
  • Relaxed +Def · −Spe The same defensive gain, paid for with Speed it does not have anyway. Under Trick Room the drop becomes an advantage.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

TCG cards (14)

All Bronzor cards →

Bronzor has 14 cards in 13 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.

This species is genderless, so its only possible partner is Ditto.

The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
