'''Bronzong''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ドータクン''' ''Dohtakun'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Bronzor}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
==Biology==
Bronzong is a large Pokémon resembling a blue-green bell with two arms coming out of its sides. It has a hollow body and a yoke attached at the top. Its face can be best described as being a "{{wp|Totem Pole}}" design; Bronzong has two round, red eyes with blue-green irises and a rectangular mouth with one visible row of square teeth. It has several darker, rectangular markings on its body. It can summon rain clouds, which earned it the nickname "bringer of plentiful harvests". The first known Bronzong was dug up at a construction site.
Bronzong is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a blue-green bell with two arms coming out of its sides. It has a hollow body and a yoke attached at the top. Its face can be best described as being a "{{wp|Totem Pole}}" design; Bronzong has two round, red eyes with blue-green irises and a rectangular mouth with one visible row of square teeth. It also has several darker, rectangular markings on its body.


==In the anime==
When angered, Bronzong lets out a warning cry that rings out like the tolling of a bell. It can summon rain clouds, which earned it the nickname "bringer of plentiful harvests" and led to some referring to it as a deity since ancient times. Bronzong's cry is also believed to have the power to open a hole leading to other worlds. Many scientists believe the Bronzong found in [[Galar]] originated from a different region after researching the patterns on its body. Some Bronzong can sleep up to 2,000 years, with one such case leading to quite the media story when one was discovered at a construction site. Bronzong typically lives in ruins and mountain ranges.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* As both of this Pokémon's Abilities are used at the same time in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, this means that in these games, Bronzong does not have any weaknesses.
* Bronzong does not have any weaknesses in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], due to both of its {{Abilities}} being used simultaneously, along with it not yet being weak to {{t|Ghost}} and {{type|Dark}} moves at the time.
** Also, in Generation IV and V, Bronzor and Bronzong were the only Pokémon to have different weaknesses depending on their ability, with Heatproof negating their weakness to Fire moves and Levitate making them immune to Ground moves.
** Bronzor and Bronzong with Heatproof are the only Steel types not weak to either {{t|Fighting}} or {{t|Fire}}.
* When a Bronzong blinks or falls asleep in Gen V, its "eyes" turn white.
* When a Bronzong blinks or falls asleep in Gen V, its "eyes" turn white.
* Bronzong is tied with [[Drifblim]] as the most common Pokémon found amongst [[Elite Four]]s members, being used by four of them.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]'s PokéPad entry describes a male Bronzong, despite Bronzong being gender unknown.
* Prior to Generation VIII, Bronzong was the only Pokémon able to learn {{m|Rain Dance}} by leveling up that could not learn any moves nor have any Abilities that benefit from {{Weather|rain}}. This may be related to its Pokédex entries, several of which mention Bronzong's natural power to summon rain clouds.


===Origin===
===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Bronzor and Bronzong}}
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Bronzor and Bronzong}}
Bronzong is based on a {{wp|dōtaku}}, Japanese bells which were believed to have been used to pray for good harvests. They are often decorated with patterns representing nature and were buried, occasionally with bronze mirrors and weapons, in isolated locations. Bronzong and the fact that it evolves from {{p|Bronzor}} 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 {{p|Bronzor|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 managed to roll it down a hill into a swamp.

Additionally, Bronzong's facial features resemble those of the Mesoamerican rain god {{wp|Tlaloc}}, who is often depicted as being predominantly cyan in color. In {{wp|Mexico City}}, which is located on the site of the former capital of the {{wp|Aztec}} empire, artifacts are often discovered during construction-related excavation, which Bronzong's [[Pokédex]] entry in Pokémon Diamond may reference.

Bronzong's Pokédex entry in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond]] may refer to the {{wp|Kamoiwakura Site}}, where multiple dōtaku were discovered during construction of a farm road in 1996 by a heavy machinery operator who accidentally struck the cache of dōtaku while excavating the site, and dated to 'approximately 2,000 years ago' in the {{wp|Yayoi Period}}.
