Bronzong

Like other generations before, Bronzong finds its home among legendary Pokemon, providing key immunities and resistances that other common support Pokemon don't have. The arrival of Xerneas has helped Bronzong's viability, as it is one of the best support Pokemon that resist Fairy-type moves and is the only viable Trick Room setter to do so, and it can hit a boosted Xerneas back hard with a high-powered Gyro Ball. With weather control being such a dominant factor in VGC16 battles, Bronzong enjoys the immunities that the Primal weathers bring, and its Skill Swap can help manipulate them further, as Bronzong fits well onto teams that make heavy use of the Primals. As a Psychic-type Trick Room setter, Bronzong has a lot to live up to with Cresselia around, but its main strength lies in its rare Steel / Psychic typing combined with a large support movepool and good defensive stats. Unfortunately, Bronzong is easy to wear down, as it has no recovery outside of items, isn't as bulky as Cresselia, and misses out on a few of Cresselia's support moves such as Helping Hand and Icy Wind. Despite its advantages, Bronzong suffers from many of the same problems as Cresselia, such as its passiveness and reliance on its partners to deal damage, as well as struggling against teams that make use of Yveltal's Dark Aura to increase the damage of their Dark-type attacks.
