Strategy Overview

Bronzor is the only Pokemon in Little Cup, other than Baltoy, with access to both Recycle and Stealth Rock, giving it a niche as a very versatile and resilient entry hazard setter. It has great bulk and Levitate, which helps it deal with its Ground weakness, and is a good check to Flying-types. However, it has very bad offensive stats and a limited offensive movepool. It also doesn't have access to Explosion, making it weak to Rapid Spin and Defog users. It is also hindered by its weakness to Knock Off.
