'''Bronzor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ドーミラー''' ''Dohmirror'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

[[File:Bronzor reveal the truth.png|thumb|left|250px|Bronzor reflecting the truth after being polished]]

Bronzor is a flat, circular, blue-green {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Six dark blue spheres bulge from its rim. It has two round, yellow eyes and a large nose-like sphere surrounded by four small circles in its center. A crest resembling an {{wp|herb}} or branch is on its back.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Bronzor and its evolved form, {{p|Bronzong}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Heatproof}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===

Bronzor evolves into {{p|Bronzong}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

{{main|Bronzor (TCG)}}

[[File:Spr b 4d 436b.png|frame|Bronzor's early backsprite]]

* If Bronzor is turned upside-down, it will look exactly the same from the front, meaning its front has rotational symmetry. It also has horizontal and vertical reflective symmetry. However, its back sprite only has vertical reflective symmetry.

* There is an unused sprite within {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} for Bronzor's back sprite which is just a duplicate of its front sprite.

* In the games, all three {{tc|Commander}}s of [[Team Galactic]] that can be battled have a Bronzor.

* As both of this Pokémon's {{Abilities}} are used at the same time in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and it wasn't weak to {{t|Ghost}} and {{type|Dark}} moves at the time, Bronzor doesn't have any weaknesses in those games.

* Bronzor has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

Bronzor is based on a 銅鏡 ''dōkyō'', or {{wp|bronze mirror}}. On its back, Bronzor has carved in a shape of a grain spike just like its evolved form, {{p|Bronzong}}, which can summon rain for better harvest.

 

Bronzor and the fact that it evolves into Bronzong also seems to be based on an old Japanese myth present in the book ''{{wp|Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things}}'' by {{wp|Lafcadio Hearn}}. The priests of Mugenyama wanted to forge a bell for their temple, so they asked the local women to donate their bronze mirrors for this purpose. A woman contributed her mirror, but later regretted it. Because of her repentance, the mirror {{a|Heatproof|wouldn't melt}} in the furnace until she killed herself. Before her suicide, she said that whoever would break the bell would be given great wealth by her ghost. A multitude of people tried to break the bell by ringing it furiously, so the tired priests rolled it down a hill into a swamp in frustration.

Bronzor may be a combination of ''bronze'' and ''mirror''.

 

Dohmirror may be a combination of 銅鏡 ''dōkyō'' (bronze mirror) and ''mirror''.
