Bronzor (Japanese: ドーミラー Dohmirror) is a dual-type Steel/Psychic Pokémon.

It evolves into Bronzong starting at level 33.

Biology

Physiology

It has a circular body with two eyes and bumps around its body. Despite being based on a bronze mirror, it is colored blue instead of brown. This, however, may be due to the blue patina that bronze forms with age. It also has a crest resembling a herb on its back.

Gender differences

Bronzor is a genderless species.

Habitat

It was first seen in ancient tombs.

Bronzor in the anime

Bronzor made a small appearance in The Rise of Darkrai. It was battling a Gible in the beginning and was one of the many Pokémon affected by Darkrai's Dark Void.

Bronzor made its anime debut in Journey to the Unown!, where it appeared under the ownership of Saturn.

Bronzor appeared again in Losing Its Lustrous and Double Team Turnover! under the ownership of both Saturn and Mars. Both, however, were easily defeated by Cynthia's Garchomp.

In Dealing With Defensive Types! it was used by Byron in a gym battle against Ash.

Trivia

• Each commander of Team Galactic has a Bronzor.
• Despite being based on a mirror, Bronzor can't learn Mirror Shot or Mirror Coat.
• Bronzor and its evolution are the only Pokémon with the ability Levitate that can have another ability, Heatproof. However, Giratina can alternate between the abilities Levitate and Pressure when it changes between its Altered Forme and Origin Forme.
• Despite being blue, it is listed in the green category. This also applies to its evolution.
  • A possible explanation is, in the Japanese viewpoint, some shades of blue are referred to as green, and vice-versa.
  • Oddly enough, its shiny color is green (the color of oxidized bronze).
• Both of its abilities affect its weakness to super-effective moves, allowing it to have just one 2× weakness, provided that its ability is in effect.
  • As both abilities are used in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Bronzor doesn't have any weaknesses in those games (it shares this trait with its evolution).
• If one turns Bronzor 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, this is not the case for its back.

Origin

Bronzor is based on a 銅鏡 dōkyō, or bronze mirror.

Name origin

Bronzor's name comes from "bronze" and "mirror". Dohmirror is a mix of 銅鏡 dōkyō (meaning steel mirror) and "mirror".

In other languages

• German: Bronzel - From bronze and Spiegel (mirror).
• French: Archeomire - From archeo- (Greek for "ancient") and miroir (mirror).
• Korean: 동미러 Dongmireo
• Chinese (Taiwan): 銅鏡怪 Tóng Jìng Guài - Literally "Bronze mirror freak".
