Trivia
- Despite being based on a bronze bell, Bronzong doesn't learn any sound-based moves (with the exception of Snore in Platinum). It should be noted, however, that dōtaku are purely ritualistic and are not made to function as bells.
- Bronzong and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon with the ability Levitate that can have another ability, Heatproof. In Platinum Version they semi-share this trait with Giratina, who can freely alternate between the abilities Levitate and Pressure when it changes between its Altered Forme and Origin Forme, excluding when on Wi-Fi.
- Despite being blue, it is listed in the green category. This also applies to its pre-evolution.
- Its Template:Shiny2 version, however, is green.
- Both of its abilities affect its weakness to super-effective moves, allowing it to have just one 2× weakness.
Origin
Bronzong is based on a dōtaku.
Name origin
Its English name is a combination of "bronze" and either "gong", a type of musical instrument, or "dong", the sound of a bell. Its Japanese name is a portmanteau of the words 銅鐸 dōtaku, meaning bronze bell, and どんどん dondon, the sound a bell produces.
