PvE Analysis

Anything Bronzor could do in raid battles, Metagross can do infinitely better and look cooler while doing it. The entire Bronzor family is a pale reflection of the Steel and Psychic family that came before it. It doesn't even have a good shiny.

PvP Analysis

Little Cup - Beldum who? When eligible for Little Cup, Bronzor is an absolute beast due to it's impressive bulk and typing that provides it with a whopping 10 resistances! It will most likely be ranked in the top 10 for each Little Cup rotation where it's available.
Great League - Maxing out at 681 CP, Bronzor is never going to make an impact in any of the higher leagues.
Ultra League - Please, use Metagross.
Master League - Seriously, just use Metagross.

More information

Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%.

These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza

Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.

More information

Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Bronzor, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

Catch rate formula

Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
