Bronzor (Japanese: ドーミラー, HepburnDoomiraa) (BRAWN-zorr[1]) is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Bronzor is a simple, round and flat Pokémon. It has piercing yellow eyes and dark green spheres around the edges of its body. Despite being called the 'Bronze Pokémon' by the Pokédex, Bronzor is blue; while real bronze is normally brown.

Behavior[]

Bronzor are ancient Pokémon believed to have been around since man first formed a civilization. Archaeologists have discovered bronze tools shaped like Bronzor buried in ancient Sinnohan tombs; no one is quite sure what the connection is, but some believe that ancient societies thought that Bronzor had some kind of mystical power and tried to replicate it through their implements. The herb-shaped pattern on their backs, it was said, is what held their power.

Researchers speculate that the plant-like design indicate that Bronzor had some connection with harvests and fertility. Others believe that in the past, they reflected like mirrors, their mysterious powers letting onlookers gaze into the past. It is said that a shined Bronzor will always reflect the truth, though the Pokémon dislike being polished.

Bafflingly, when scientists attempted to take an X-ray of a Bronzor to examine its body structure, the image came out blank. Alternative research attempting to solve the many mysteries surrounding them has also turned up inconclusive.

Natural abilities[]

In popular culture, many believe that Bronzor cannot be harmed by fire. This is untrue, though some Bronzor do seem to resist flames somewhat.

Evolution[]

Bronzor evolves into Bronzong starting at level 33.

Trivia[]

Origin[]

Bronzor and its evolution are based on an old Japanese myth often translated as "Of a Mirror and a Bell". The tale tells of priests in Mugenyama wanting to create a large bell for their temple, so they encouraged women to donate their dōkyō (bronze mirrors) so that they could be welded into the bell. However, one women regretted donating her mirror, as her mirror would not melt until she took her own life. Before doing so, she stated that whoever could break the bell would be gifted with wealth. This led to multiple people ringing the bell, which prompted the priests to sending the bell away into a nearby swamp.

Etymology[]

Bronzor comes from bronze and mirror.
