CHOICE BAND BRONZONG!
Bronzong @ Choice Band
Ability: Heavy Metal
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Heavy Slam
- Zen Headbutt
- Body Press
- Trick
When I noticed that Bronzong was used almost entirely as a Trick Room setter support mon, I figured there was SOME way I could use it for offense. I then saw that its hidden ability was Heavy Metal, and that it got Heavy Slam. Zen Headbutt was added because it was the best Psychics STAB that Bronzong learned. It also turns out that Choice Band does affect Body Press, so I added that to round out the attacking moves. Trick was a given for this set, as it gave Bronzong the ability to cripple a setup or support mon, and provides a guaranteed win condition against the Chansey/Shuckle team that was commonly used at the beginning of the series, and still sees play now. Overall, Heavy Metal + Choice Band + STAB means Heavy Slam does a surprisingly huge amount of damage, and the set reliably picks up KOs. A good partner for it is a Trick Room setter who allows Bronzong to utilize its low speed.
