Bronzor (Japanese: ドーミラー Dohmirror) is a dual-type Steel/Psychic Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It evolves into Bronzong starting at level 33.
Biology
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 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 unsuccessfully tried performing X-rays on its body. The pattern of Bronzor in Galar cannot be found in any of its culture, and the reason for why is unknown. There is lore on how polishing Bronzor will make its surface reflect the truth. However, it hates being polished as a result of that.
In the anime
Major appearances
Bronzor made its main series debut in Journey to the Unown!, under the ownership of Saturn. Saturn used Bronzor to help light the way through the Solaceon Ruins. It appeared again in Losing Its Lustrous and 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.
In Dealing With Defensive Types!, Byron used a Bronzor during his Gym battle against Ash. It battled Chimchar and was defeated despite having the Ability Heatproof.
In Zoroark: Master of Illusions, Karl often uses a Bronzor to provide light for dark places. It was later used to levitate Zorua, who had transformed into Celebi as part of a scheme to distract Grings Kodai from the real Celebi.
Minor appearances
Bronzor debuted in The Rise of Darkrai, where it briefly battled a Gible.

After growing bored as she always does, she had it use Sandstorm and left with an electricity-generating wind turbine.

Trivia
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 Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for Bronzor's back sprite which is just a duplicate of its front sprite.
- In the games, all three Commanders 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 Ghost and Dark-type moves at the time, Bronzor doesn't have any weaknesses in those games.
- Bronzor has the lowest base Attack of all Steel-type Pokémon.
Origin
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:
On the Origin of Species: Bronzor and Bronzong
Bronzor is based on a 銅鏡 dōkyō, or bronze mirror.
Bronzor and the fact that it evolves into Bronzong also seems to be based on an old Japanese myth present in the book Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things by 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 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.
Name origin
Bronzor is a combination of bronze and mirror.
Dohmirror is a combination of 銅鏡 dōkyō (bronze mirror) and mirror.
