Stats & Training
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.
Some believe that its bell-like cry opens holes to another world. It has been revered as a deity since ancient times.
Bronzong Weakness
Fire, Ground, Ghost, and Dark moves hit Bronzong for super-effective damage. The upside? Poison-type moves can't touch it at all. It resists 9 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.

Bronzong Guide
In Legends: Arceus, Bronzong looks average on paper at 500 BST. But Levitate is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier trick room on our tier list. Stealth Rock with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Legends: Arceus, 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 leaning toward the physical side (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 Legends: Arceus, run Stealth Rock, Toxic, Earthquake, and Gyroball on Bronzong. Stealth Rock is the most common pick at 18% usage. This set covers the trick room role with a mix of damage and utility.
