Okay, I think the Bronzong analysis is a bit screwed up. Have a look at TrickZong:

Quote:
now that Bronzong has a 31 Speed stat. More importantly, however, is Bronzong's ability to cripple incoming sweepers by robbing them of their item and shredding any speed advantage they ever had over your other team members. For example, Bronzong will tend to draw in sweepers switch-ins
This is similar to the previous set, except Trick is being used instead of Hypnosis. However, while the sets are similar, they play entirely differently. Macho Brace cuts Bronzong's Speed by fifty percent, which, in turn, powers up Gyro Ball to extraordinary levels,, like Heatran or Gyarados, who anticipate a weak Gyro Ball. However, to their dismay, they will be forced to give up their held item in exchange for the rather limiting Macho Brace. Choice Band is also a decent option to cripple defensive, such as Swampert or Dusknoir, and also provides Bronzong with quite a bit of power. If you opt for Choice Band, you may want to just maximize Attack to make Bronzong a more offensive threat. The remaining portion of the set is identical to the previously discussed set.

a Ground
The item Lagging Tail forces the holder to always move last and is a viable option over Macho Brace; however, it will not boost the power of Gyro Ball like Macho Brace will. Iron Ball is an interesting option, as you can Trick it onto something that previously had-type immunity, and make them vulnerable to Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Ground-type attacks, although it does come at the cost of Bronzong's own Levitate being nullified while holding it.
The paragraph begins with a random "now that Bronzong has a 31 Speed stat" sentence. The next 2 sentences also don't seem to belong here. Then, in Paragraph 2, there's that random "a ground" text.

The Trick Room set begins like this:

Quote:
unless you fear Magnezone to a great extent. That way, you will be able to hopefully KO on the opponent
Finally, there are also a series of double commas:

Quote:
Explosion will prove to be the most useful attacking choice in the final slot,,
Quote:
Brace cuts Bronzong's Speed by fifty percent, which, in turn, powers up Gyro Ball to extraordinary levels,,
