Bronzong 6/123 · Mysterious Treasures

Bronzong is Pokédex #437, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Bronzong is a Stage 1 Metal Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 40. The card says it evolves from Bronzor. In this catalog that name is Bronzor (#436).

Bronzong sits at 6/123 in Mysterious Treasures, position 6 of 124. Before it is 5 Blissey, and after it is 7 Celebi. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on 1 August 2007. The printed size is 123. This checklist is longer, at 124 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Miracle Oracle is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may draw a card. Then, discard a card from your hand. If you discard an Energy card, draw 1 more card. This power can't be used if Bronzong is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Shady Stamp lists 50 damage. The cost is Metal, Metal, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Fire +30. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "One caused a news sensation when it was dug up at a construction site after a 2,000-year sleep."

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 2008 to 2026. The earliest other card is Bronzong 16/100 in Majestic Dawn (2008). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Daisuke Ito illustrated this one. 19 other cards of Bronzong list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Daisuke Ito. I count 47 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Mysterious Treasures set binder is where a full Mysterious Treasures set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Bronzong can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
