Strategy Overview
Numerous helpful and unique resistances and two immunities give Bronzong the unique ability to hard check several relevant threats such as Abomasnow and Venusaur in one slot. It has numerous forms of utility, as access to Stealth Rock and the ability to wall every Defog user in the tier make it one of the most reliable setters in RU, and its extremely low Speed and access to Trick Room and Gyro Ball make it an ideal Trick Room setter and attacker. However, while Bronzong is a good glue Pokemon that handles several common threats, it cannot be counted on as a reliable catch-all check without cleric support, as it is easily worn down due to its total lack of recovery and offensive presence as well as a crippling weakness to the ubiquitous Knock Off and Pursuit. In addition, poor Speed and mediocre offensive stats make it setup bait for a number of threats, and it faces competition as a bulky Steel-type from Registeel due to inferior bulk and lack of access to Seismic Toss and Thunder Wave.
