[SET COMMENTS]
<p>This Bronzor, while unorthodox, has the ability to single-handedly remove some of the biggest defensive threats in Little Cup. Because Bronzor is immune to Toxic, it can out-stall these defensive threats by using Toxic to poison the opponent and then using Recycle to get its Oran Berry back after it is consumed. Because healing is very important for this set, it is imperative that Bronzor uses Recycle immediately after Oran Berry triggers and avoid having it removed via Knock Off at all costs. Psychic is Bronzor's most reliable STAB attack, and Earthquake is for coverage. However, Stealth Rock is an option over Earthquake if the rest of your team lacks it. Levitate is much better than Heatproof, as it allows Bronzor to beat Drilbur and Hippopotas without any trouble.</p>
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>Because this set does not have an Eviolite to boost its defenses, Bronzor's EVs maximize its HP and Defense with the rest of the EVs going to the rest of its stats. Since this set loses to Fighting- and Fire-types, its teammates should be able to cover these weaknesses. Since Bronzor will not do well against offensive Pokemon, precaution should be taken to the likes of Mienfoo and Larvesta—two Pokemon that can easily beat this set. Taillow and Croagunk are great teammates to remove the former, while Staryu and Chinchou are great checks to the latter. If Earthquake is not used on Bronzor, Diglett is almost a required partner for killing Stunky and other Pokemon that resist or are immune to Psychic.</p>
