In Pokémon GO Bronzel is the secret star of the Mini Cup. But why is this little Pokémon so sought after by Trainers in PvP? We analyze the case for you.
What is it about? Currently, the Mini Cup is running in Pokémon GO. This is a special tournament for Trainers’ battles in PvP. The twist is that only Pokémon that have an evolution but have not yet evolved themselves can participate. Additionally, the maximum CP limit is only 500. It becomes clear that only the “Little Ones” are supposed to fight – hence the “Mini” Cup.
The Cup started on November 9 and is active until November 16 at 10:00 PM. Already in the first days, a surprise favorite quickly emerged among the players. Bronzel from the 4th generation. But what makes this Pokémon so popular and at the same time so unpopular? We investigated.
This is what makes Bronzel so strong
Now we take a look at the counters and the stats of Bronzel.
Bronzel Counter Types: Bronzel belongs to the types Psychic and Steel. A difficult combination, as it receives a solid ten resistances and only four weaknesses.
It is vulnerable to Dark, Fire, Ghost, and Ground. If you attack Bronzel with these types, it weakens in battle and is quickly ousted from the favorite role.
However, it has resistances against Dragon, Fairy, Flying, Grass, Ice, Normal, Poison, Psychic, Rock, and Steel.
You can see why Bronzel is so highly regarded. The chance that opponents will attack with one of these types that Bronzel has resistances against is high.
The Stats of Bronzel: Many players in PvP swear by fighters in their team that can withstand a lot. And here Bronzel can shine with its defensive stats.
- Its defensive stat is 154
- Its stamina is 149
- Its attack is 43
At first glance, these are not impressive stats, but compared to other monsters that have a maximum of 500 CP, Bronzel performs very well.
The special Cup: The extraordinary rules of the Cup, which limits Pokémon to 500 CP that are not evolved but can evolve, brings Bronzel much further ahead.
So it is no surprise that so many players want to have the favorite of this tournament in their team.

With the attackers in your PvP team, you have a good chance of defeating players with Bronzel.
