<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>
