Bronzong and Mothim, Yay for them, wonder what the attack names and pokebody names would be said....

Cheers

 

[eriknance]

Hopefully it's a better Bronzong this time around... one of my favorite Pokemanz...

 

[Phazon Elite]

They need a Lv. X Band-Aid, then.

 

[Croatian_Nidoking]

Sounds like something that'll translate into more promo-ey goodness down here. Barring that, they could always put 'em into a POP or main set.

Is that a FIRE resistance on Bronzong? Does that even make sense at all? (I dunno what type it is in the games but I'm guessing Psychic/Steel from the cards, back me up here someone..)

 

[Jason]

Dom, Heatproof ability from the games must be a reason.

 

[Xtreme Pillow Fighter]

^ hes right =/

Yes, Bronzong is a Psychic/Steel type Pokemon. For a Steel type, it shouldn't have a resistance of Fire type Pokemon. It should be weakness: Psychic, resistance: Blank.

Wrong. Psychic is resisted by Bronzong. Ghost does normal damage. Poison is ineffective.

Fire is Bronzong's only weakness if it has Levitate. If Bronzong has Heat Proof, Fire does normal damage and Bronzong is weak to Ground. So, Bronzong should never resist Fire even with Heat Proof.

It's not a fire symbol. It's a fighting symbol.

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

It's not a fire symbol. It's a fighting symbol.

No, it's pretty clear that it's a fire symbol.

 

[Umbreon777]

It's not a fire symbol. It's a fighting symbol.

No... its fire. Mothim has fighting. The two are obvoius to tell apart.

And yes, heatproof is really the only liable excuse.

 

[Dom]

Usually W/R are only based on actual types, abilities would be worked into Poke-Bodies (Grumpig/Miltank that resist Fire and Water for example).. guess this is a new move but there's been unrealistic resistances before (Fighting on Bagon etc). Also W/R tend to only look at one type at a time for dual types, so as its a Psychic Bronzong it wouldn't look at the effects on W/R its Steel type would have, thus why it gets the Psychic weakness. Before anyone mentions loadsa exceptions, yes, I already know.

 

[master of puppets]

it being resistant to fire, even though it does nuetral damage with heatproof, isnt as bad as when the make gligar weak to lightning.
esspecaily considering that they made him GROUND type!
all in all, bronzong shouldnt be weak to psy either because in the game, like prof chris said, psychic does 1/4 damage, ghost does nuetral, and poison doesnt do anything at all, if anything.
psy should be its resistance waaaaay before fire should.

 

[Dr. Mason]

Got translated on beach, and oh MAN would I love Bronzong if he was steel type.

 

[Professor Elm]

Bronzong is pretty decent actually.
10 to all powers between turns and an attack that spreads 10 to everything.

 

[PkmnManiac]

You know every Empoleon deck player is gonna want the new LV.X.

 

[bullados]

That Empoleon has already been released here, in the Fall tins...

 

[DarthPika]

You know every Empoleon deck player is gonna want the new LV.X.

That's not a new lv.x.

It's just a re-print of the dp one.

So, blissey, gardy, catty, magmortar X and the likes will get hit! Too bad it doesnt include bodies, it'd be broken by then XD.
