All of Bronzong's weaknesses and best Pokémon counters in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Brilliant Pearl

No matter how you organize your team in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Brilliant Pearl, there will ultimately be an opponent you will have trouble with. The reasoning behind this may be that your Pokémon need to be leveled more, but the advantages and disadvantages of the type can be just as crucial. Bronzong is a massive opponent who seems impenetrable but has his falls. Here are all of Bronzong's weaknesses and the best counters.



What is Bronzong weak against?

Bronzong is a Psychic and Steel Pokémon. With these types at his disposal, the best way to counter this is with moves of the type Fire, Earth, Darkness and Ghost, but there are some caveats. Bronzong may be equipped with a couple of hidden abilities that will change your plan of attack. If he has Levitate (Lucian Elite's Bronzong always has this), ground moves won't affect him unless you bring him back down to earth. Additionally, if he has Heat Resistant, your Fire attacks will be halved. With these conditions in order, our recommendations include Fire Blast, Shadow Ball, Foul Play, Crunch, Shadow Force, Phantom Force, Flamethrower, and other powerful fire moves.

Moves that won't deal that much damage include Fairy, Dragon, Normal, Ice, Rock, Steel, Flying, Grass, Psychic, and Poison which don't affect it at all.

Best counters

When you face Bronzong, you will likely have at least one Pokémon that appears to be strong against them, but don't be fooled into forgetting Bronzong's ability to learn Psychic and Ground-based moves. With that in mind, you may want to avoid using Infernape unless you can take it down in one fell swoop. This also puts Ghost Pokémon in a similar position. Gengar, Drifblim, and Mismagius can learn Dark and Ghost moves, but will be susceptible to Bronzong's Psychic attacks (not a problem against Lucian's Bronzong).



With the above in mind, Pokémon we recommend battling Bronzong with include Spiritomb, Alakazam, Gengar, Mismagius, and Drifblim. If you don't have any of these, Infernape, Rapidash, or a Mew that have been taught fire moves might also be useful.
