Strategy Overview

Psychic

Bronzong's Steel typing and high defenses allow it to set up Stealth Rock consistently and also act as an excellent wall for Psychic teams, soaking up Fairy- and Ice-type moves like Tapu Lele's Moonblast and Kyurem's Freeze-Dry. Levitate lets it wall Pokemon like Sand Rush Excadrill, Mamoswine, and Kyurem more easily. It stops itself from being completely passive with moves like Heavy Slam, Body Press, and Toxic. However, Bronzong faces tough competition from Jirachi, which has a higher Speed, access to U-turn to bring in teammates safely, and more utility with moves like Thunder Wave. Jirachi can even pull off an offensive Choice Scarf set, whereas Bronzong is always stuck running a defensive set.
