Editor's notes

As a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon, Bronzor takes extra damage from Dark, Fire, Ghost and Ground attacks, while resisting Poison, Psychic, Dragon and Fairy.

Knowing that shapes how you use it: lean on its Steel/Psychic moves where they hit hard, and bench it against its weaknesses. It caps at 681 CP.
