Bronzong is an amazing and key part of any trick room team. With it's ability to tank hits and set up trick room the first turn and immediately after setting up screens (extended by the clay), it can be a force to be reckoned with. Its last move can either be gyro ball or skill swap. Gyro ball helps if it gets taunted and can deal heavy damage while skill swap can give heatproof or levitate to one of your more powerful allies that also does well in a trick room setting (like giving Ferrothorn heatproof) while also allowing you to alter your opponent's Pokemon's abilities at will.
