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.

How to Get Bronzong in Sun & Moon
Bronzong isn't available in the wild in Sun & Moon. Start by transferring Bronzor from Diamond, Platinum, or HeartGold. The evolution path from Bronzor to Bronzong is covered in the steps below.
Bronzong Guide
In Sun & Moon, 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. Trickroom with Psychiumz is the standard set.
In Sun & Moon, 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 Sun & Moon, run Trickroom, Gyroball, Hypnosis, and Stealth Rock on Bronzong. Trickroom is the most common pick at 22% usage. This set covers the trick room role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Debuting in Diamond & Pearl, Bronzong appears in 13 games across 7 generations. A reliable presence in a solid number of games, typically found through wild encounters.
