Bronzor appears in Pokémon Adventures, in the Diamond & Pearl chapter, as one of Mars's Pokémon. She used it to attack the manager of the Valley Windworks and hold him hostage. When he managed to use his Drifloon to call for help, she tried to have her Zubat bite him in the neck. After growing bored as she always does, she had it use Sandstorm and left with an electricity-generating wind turbine.

Mars used a Bronzor during the raid of the Veilstone Game Corner.

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, this is not the case for it's back sprite.
• Oddly enough, there is an unused sprite within Pokemon Diamond and Pearl for Bronzor's backsprite which is just a duplicate of it's frontsprite.
• In the games, all three battleable Commanders of Team Galactic have 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. However, Giratina can alternate between the Abilities Levitate and Pressure when it changes between its Altered Forme and Origin Forme.
• Although Bronzor appears to be blue, it is listed in the green color group. 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).
  • Bronzor and Bronzong are the only Steel-type Pokémon in the green color group.
• Bronzor's natural Abilities—Heatproof and Levitate—both eliminate one of its two weaknesses, allowing it to have just one weakness while its Ability is in effect.
  • As both Abilities are used at the same time in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, this means that in those games, Bronzor doesn't have any weaknesses.

Origin

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

Name origin

Bronzor is a combination of bronze and mirror.

Dohmirror is a combination of 銅鏡 dōkyō (steel mirror) and mirror.
