Trivia

• Thorton & Bronzong are the only sync pair with access to the Type Resistance status change.

Origin

Thorton's design is based on his appearance in Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver. While Thorton does not have a set team in the core series games, Bronzong is one of the rental Pokémon he can potentially use. Its color scheme also matches that of his outfit. Bronzong's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
