Bronzor Weakness
Bronzor is weak to Fire and Ground. On the flip side, it's immune to Poison-type moves entirely. With 8 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Levitate grants an additional Ground immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. With 57 HP and balanced defenses, Bronzor can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Moves
TMs carry this one. Bronzor learns Future Sight and Dream Eater naturally for STAB, but the offensive range comes almost entirely from technical machines. Normal and Dark and beyond give it real matchup play.
