Bronzor is a flat, circular, blue-green Pokémon. 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. This crest is said to possess a mysterious power. It was first seen in ancient tombs; objects resembling this Pokémon have been found in tombs as well. Scientists believe Bronzor used to be reflective, and have tried x-raying its body. The x-rays revealed nothing of its structure, however.

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.


==In the anime==
Bronzor's crest is said to possess a mysterious power and is held sacred. It was first seen in ancient tombs and timeworn places; objects resembling this Pokémon have also been found in tombs. Scientists believe Bronzor used to be reflective and have unsuccessfully tried performing X-rays on its body. The pattern of Bronzor in [[Galar]] cannot be found in any of its cultures, and the reason is unknown. There is lore on how polishing Bronzor will make its surface reflect the truth. However, it hates being polished. Bronzor uses an unknown energy to help it float around. It typically lives in mountainous paths.

===Major appearances===
Bronzor made its main series debut in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', where it appeared under the ownership of [[Saturn]]. Saturn used Bronzor to help light the way through the [[Solaceon Ruins]]. It appeared again in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]''. In the same episode, it was revealed that a Bronzor was also owned by [[Mars]]. Both, however, were easily defeated by [[Cynthia's Garchomp]].


[[Byron]] owns a Bronzor, which he used in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'' during a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}. It battled against {{AP|Chimchar}} and was defeated despite having the [[Ability]] {{a|Heatproof}}.
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]].


A Bronzor appeared in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', under the ownership of [[Karl]]. It was often used to provide light for dark places. It was later used to levitate {{OBP|Zorua|M13}}, who had {{a|Illusion|transformed}} into {{OBP|Celebi|M13}} as part of a scheme to distract [[Grings Kodai]] from the real Celebi.
===Evolution===
Bronzor evolves into {{p|Bronzong}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Bronzor and Bronzong}}
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Bronzor and Bronzong}}
Bronzor is based on a 銅鏡 ''dōkyō'', or {{wp|bronze mirror}}.
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.
