Item: Macho Brace
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Brave (+Atk, -Spe)
EVs: 252 Hp / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Moveset:
- Trick Room
- Gyro Ball
- Hypnosis
- Earthquake
In single battles, Bronzong is known as a decent Physical Tank. It's designed to absorb physical damage and return fire with decent force. With Levitate, Bronzong is immune to damaging Ground-typed moves. Levitate also makes Bronzong unaffected by the effects of Spikes, Arena Trap or Toxic Spikes. Keep in mind that Ingrain, Gravity and the Iron ball item will nullify Levitate's effect. This set offers a completely different take on Bronzong by abusing its unique capabilities as an offensive Pokemon. These capabilities include the bulk of Arnold Schwarzenegger, more resistances than one can count on their hands, and the blessed combination of Trick Room + Gyro Ball + garbage base Speed. With this, Bronzong becomes a great late-game sweeper and check to offensive teams, while still being able to support its teammates with Trick Room. One important fact about this Bronzong is that it's not the Trick Room Supporter Bronzong. Therefore, you don't need to only use this Bronzong on a pure Trick Room team. The main team support that this Bronzong wants is entry hazard support. Stealth Rock and Spikes can make a late-game sweep much easier, and it helps Bronzong nab some OHKOs that it wouldn't have gotten otherwise. It should also be noted that this Bronzong is possibly one of the best receivers of a CursePass in the game, because CursePassing to this Bronzong is like passing physical Quiver Dances that also strengthen his main STAB. Bronzong's Gyro Ball will hit like a train after a Curse or two, even against Pokemon which resist it. With a Macho Brace equipped to it, Bronzong's speed is halved. The klutz ability does not ignore this effect.
◆ Gyro Ball is a physical STAB-boosted 0-base power Steel-type move (more power the slower your Bronzong than the target).
◆ Hypnosis is a status move (causes the target to fall asleep).
◆ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon. Power doubles on dig).
