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

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Bronzong}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
Bronzor has a flat, circular, blue-green body rimmed with six darker bumps. It has two round, yellow eyes and a large bump surrounded by four smaller bumps 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.

==Trivia==
[[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 Pokemon Diamond and Pearl for Bronzor's back sprite which is just a duplicate of its front sprite.
* In the games, all three battleable {{tc|Commander}}s of [[Team Galactic]] have a Bronzor.
* As both of this Pokémon's Abilities are used at the same time in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, Bronzor doesn't have any weaknesses in those games.
