Bronzong resistances in Pokemon 

Bronzong is a Steel/Psychic Pokemon, which comes with quite a few defensive perks. Bronzing is resistant to the following types:

  • Normal
  • Flying 
  • Rock
  • Steel 
  • Grass
  • Psychic
  • Ice
  • Dragon
  • Fairy 

Bronzong resists a whopping nine types, so be sure to steer clear of using Pokemon attacks of these typings. You won’t make much of a dent otherwise. 

Bronzong also carries an immunity to Poison-type attacks in games like Pokemon Arceus Legends and Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, so attempting to hit Bronzong with Poison Jab will have no effect at all.

Best Counters For Bronzong in Pokemon

Pokemon Attack
Alakazam Shadow Ball
Spiritomb Dark Pulse
Gengar Shadow Ball
Infernape Fire Punch
Rapidash Fire Blast

Bronzong can be interesting on the field of battle. While, yes, it could use the same type of attack boosted Psychic attack on Gengar and wipe him out, Gengar is more likely to outspeed and would be able to overpower it with a STAB-boosted Shadow Ball.

But, if you have a team consisting of Pokemon with an assortment of Fire, Ground, Dark, and Ghost-type moves, you will ultimately leave victorious.
