Stormfront

Bronzong 13/100 · Stormfront

Stormfront is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on November 1, 2008. The printed size is 100. This checklist is longer, at 106 cards. Bronzong is 13/100, in position 13 of 106 on this checklist. Before it is 12 Abomasnow, and after it is 14 Cherrim. The listed rarity is Rare.

Bronzong is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 46. In the Pokédex this is Bronzong (#437), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Bronzor. In this catalog that name is Bronzor (#436).

Kyoko Umemoto illustrated this card. The same name is on 174 other cards in the catalog.

Bronzong (#437) has 28 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 26 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Bronzong 6/123 in Mysterious Treasures (2007). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Daisuke Ito illustrated that card, and Kyoko Umemoto illustrated this one. 19 other cards of Bronzong list a different HP.

Cycler is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may choose a card from your hand and put it on top of your deck. Then, search your deck for up to 2 basic Energy cards, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Bronzong is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Strange Spin lists 20+ damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. If you have the same number of cards in your hand as your opponent, this attack does 20 damage plus 40 more damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Heavy Potential is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. Put a number of damage counters on each of your opponent's Pokémon equal to the number of Colorless Energy in that Pokémon's Retreat Cost (after applying effects to the Retreat Cost). Weakness is Psychic +20. Resistance is Fire -20. Retreat cost is 3.

I keep a set binder for Stormfront, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Stormfront set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Bronzong can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
