[SET COMMENTS]
Bronzor is a premier physical wall that can take on the likes of Furfrou, Gigalith, and Swalot with its phenomenal stats, support movepool, and great defensive typing paired with Levitate. Psywave is a great move to help Bronzor not be so passive against Toxic-immune targets like Klang, Ivysaur, and Lairon. Bronzor walls so many Pokemon that it often finds a free opportunity to set up Stealth Rock for its teammates. Rest is the only form of recovery that Bronzor can run, but it works well enough because of its previously discussed longevity.

Bronzor works best when it can keep Eviolite, so it appreciates the likes of Swalot and Wigglytuff, which work well as Knock Off absorbers. Bronzor can easily handle the top Rock-types in the tier, Gigalith and Lairon, which partners like Dustox, Persian, and Jumpluff really appreciate. Pignite and Magmar pose a serious threat to Bronzor, so teammates like Politoed and Carbink are great to bring alongside Bronzor to alleviate this issue. Dark-types like Krokorok, Mightyena, and Scraggy are even scarier, since they are immune to Psywave, and Krokorok can even Pursuit trap Bronzor. Bulk Up Scraggy in particular completely walls Bronzor, since it can heal off Toxic with Shed Skin, so Meganium and Wigglytuff are good teammates, as they do well at stopping these Dark-types in their tracks. These same Dark-types also make for great teammates to help take on Duosion, which can use Bronzor as setup fodder. Grass-types like Servine and Simisage love having Bronzor around to take on Swalot and Dustox.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Bronzor can opt for a specially defensive set, helping it better check the likes of Electabuzz, Simipour, and Politoed. However, it already does a solid job at checking them and really wants the Defensive investment to check physical threats like Jumpluff, Gigalith, and Persian better. Stealth Rock can be dropped for Sleep Talk on stall teams to alleviate some passivity, but Stealth Rock is generally better for role compression. Protect can be used over Stealth Rock to rack up Toxic damage and scout Choice-locked threats like Krokorok and Simipour.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Dark-types**: Mightyena, Krokorok, and Scraggy all threaten Bronzor with their STAB moves while only having to worry about taking a Toxic upon entry. Bulk Up Scraggy in particular completely walls Bronzor, since it can heal off Toxic with Shed Skin.

**Fire-types**: Pignite and Magmar can safely 2HKO Bronzor with Flare Blitz and Fire Blast, respectively.

**Duosion**: Magic Guard Duosion can sit on Bronzor and stall it out. Sets that run Calm Mind can use Bronzor as setup fodder.

**Item Removal**: The likes of Persian, Ivysaur, and Servine all threaten Bronzor with Knock Off if it has to switch in to take a hit from them. Losing Eviolite greatly weakens Bronzor's ability as a wall. Trick and Switcheroo users like Swoobat and Lopunny can swap Bronzor's Eviolite for a debilitating item that lessens its walling capabilities.

**Taunt Users**: Servine, Frogadier, and Quilladin can all use Taunt to deny Bronzor the opportunity to set up Stealth Rock or use Toxic on them, which allows them to boost or set up entry hazards.

Bronzor is a premiere physical wall in ORAS ZU with its phenomenal stats, support movepool, and great defensive typing paired with Levitate. Psywave is a great move to help Bronzor not be so passive against Toxic immune targets like Klang, Ivysaur, and Lairon. Bronzor walls so many Pokemon that it often finds the free opportunity to set up Stealth Rocks for its teammates. Rest is the only form of recovery that Bronzor can run, but it works well enough because of all the previous statements.

Bronzor works best when its Eviolite is intact, so it appreciates the likes of Swalot and Wigglytuff which work well as Knock Off absorbers. Bronzor can easily handle the top Rock-types in the tier, Gigalith and Lairon, which partners like Dustox, Persian, and Jumpluff really appreciate. Pignite and Magmar pose as serious threats to Bronzor, so teammates like Politoed and Carbink are great to bring alongside it to alleviate this issue. Dark-types like Krokorok, Mightyena, and Scraggy are even scarier, since they are immune to taking any huge chip damage upon entry from Psywave and the former can even Pursuit trap Bronzor. Bulk Up Scraggy in particular completely walls Bronzor since it can heal off Toxic with Shed Skin, so Carbink and Pignite do well at stopping them in their tracks. These same Dark-types make for great teammates to help take on Duosion, who can use Bronzor as setup fodder. Grass-types like Servine and Simisage love having Bronzor around to take on Swalot and Dustox.

Mention Protect that can rack up Toxic damage and scout against Choice-locked threats like Krokorok and Simipour at the cost of Stealth Rock's utility

**Knock Off Users**: The likes of Persian, Ivysaur, and Servine all threaten Bronzor with Knock Off if it has to switch in to help take a hit. Losing Eviolite greatly weakens Bronzor's ability as a wall. I'd rename to Item Removal and mention Trick/Switcheroo users like Swoobat and Lopunny, while less common, can give Bronzor a debilitating item and gut its walling capabilities.

*Also would add Taunt users, since Servine and Frogadier can even set up on it with their bulk and Protean causing Bronzor to be unable to use Toxic to threaten them out.

Bronzor is a premiere physical wall in ORAS ZU with its phenomenal stats, support movepool, and great defensive typing paired with Levitate. (Should mention the key physical attackers like Furf, Gigalith, and Swalot) Psywave is a great move to help Bronzor not be so passive against Toxic immune targets like Klang, Ivysaur, and Lairon. Bronzor walls so many Pokemon that it often finds the free opportunity to set up Stealth Rock for its teammates.

Dark-types like Krokorok, Mightyena, and Scraggy are even scarier, since they are immune to taking any huge chip damage upon entry from Psywave, and the former can even Pursuit trap Bronzor. (Can be condensed) Bulk Up Scraggy in particular completely walls Bronzor since it can heal off Toxic with Shed Skin, so Carbink and Pignite do well at stopping them in their tracks. (They don't stop Krok so add smth like Meganium first) These same Dark-types make for great teammates to help take on Duosion, who can use Bronzor as setup fodder. Grass-types like Servine and Simisage love having Bronzor around to take on Swalot and Dustox.
