[SET COMMENTS]

<p>With a Speed stat of 3, Bronzor can hit many things in Little Cup with a 150 Base Power STAB Gyro Ball, which will dent or KO many things, despite Bronzor's average Attack stat. Trick might appear strange, weakening Gyro Ball's damage output, but it can cripple a key Pokemon for the rest of the match, such as Gligar. Earthquake complements Gyro Ball by hitting most Pokemon that resist it for at least neutral. The last slot is a toss-up between hitting Mantyke without Tricking Bronzor's Macho Brace away, or setting up Trick Room to help Bronzor attempt a more full-blown sweep. If running Hidden Power Electric, a 3 Speed IV is the lowest Bronzor can go with a full-powered Hidden Power. You will also need to add 4 more EVs to Special Attack.</p>

<p>Psychic can be used in the last slot to cover a broader range of Pokemon. Rock Slide would be Bronzor's best move against both Mantyke, who resists Gyro Ball and is immune to Earthquake, and Paras, who is slow enough to set up on Bronzor's Gyro Ball, and has a 4x resistance to Earthquake. Mantyke already detests being Tricked a Macho Brace though, and Paras can Spore poor Bronzor before it can even use Rock Slide. Krabby also resists Bronzor's main STAB move and has enough Defense to take an Earthquake. Krabby can't stomach a Hidden Power Electric, though.</p>
 
Can Iron Ball be an option over Macho Brace in order to further annoy the opponent by making it vulnerable to Spikes/Earthquake?
 
no. the main goal of this set is to power up gyro ball and hit shit hard and with iron ball... ground moves fuck you over which is bad bad bad bad. so ya, even if something gets a macho brace, its still crippled regardless if it loses its levitate or not.
 
I like this set, but like I said on IRC it's not much different than the Trick Room sweeper set.

I could probably merge the two sets together, as the only main difference is Trick (which could be slashed onto the TR Sweeper set over Psychic; possibly before it), if the set gets approved in some way. I actually don't even think Trick and Trick Room on the same set is that bad, considering in the last turn of TR you could ditch Macho Brace as a final fuck you or something.

Also, HP Ice is kinda useless because you 2HKO Gligar with Gyro Ball. TR should get the main slash, or Rock Slide/HP Elec????
 
well if that's the case, mantyke is likely 2hkoed as well since it resists it like gligar does but is less defensively bulky. I'll look into a good move for the last slot besides trick room then.

EDIT: Never mind, I was under the assumption ground resisted steel?
 
Hey Kannon,

It doesn't look like you're working on this, so if you can confirm that, can we get a new owner for this set?

If you are working on it, lets get some QC input here.

Thanks!

<p>With a Speed stat of 3, Bronzor can hit many things in Little Cup with a 150 Base Powered STAB Gyro Ball, which will dent or KO, even with despite Bronzor's average attack stat. Trick might appear strange, weakening Gyro Ball's damage output, but it can cripple a key Pokemon for the rest of the match, namely such as Gligar. Earthquake compliments Gyro Ball by hitting most Pokemon that resist it. The last slot is a toss up between hitting Mantyke without tricking your Macho Brace away, or setting up Trick Room to help Bronzor attempt a more full-blown sweep. If you use Hidden Power Electric, a 3 speed IV gives you minimum speed and gives you a full powered Hidden Power. You will also need to add 4 more EVs to Special Attack.</p>

<p>Psychic can be used in the last slot to cover a more broader range of Pokemon and still has decent coverage. Rock Slide would be Bronzor's best move against both Mantyke, who resists Gyro Ball, and is immune to Earthquake and as well as Paras, who is slow enough to set up on, Gyro Ball and has a 4x resistance to Earthquake, but . Mantyke detests being tricked a Macho Brace though, and Paras can Spore poor Bronzor before it can use Trick. Krabby also resists Bronzor's main STAB move and has enough defense to take an Earthquake. Krabby can't stomach a Hidden Power Electric, though.</p>

You might want to fix some of the sentences in AC. A few of them look like runons to me.

Yeah, I don't have a Macho Brace, but Bronzor sure does!
