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 its back sprite.
  • 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 Commanders 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, this means that in those games, Bronzor doesn't have any weaknesses.
