How to beat Bronzong

Q: How much HP does Bronzong have?

Up to 140 HP in Standard (140 on the Phantasmal Flames version, 130 on the Pitch Black version, 130 on the Prismatic Evolutions version, 130 on the Surging Sparks version, 110 on the Temporal Forces version).

Bronzong has 5 versions in the 2026–27 Standard format, with up to 140 HP as a Metal Pokémon. Here's the maths for Knocking it Out — worked out from every Standard-legal card.

HP: 140

Weakness: Fire, Darkness

Resistance: Grass, Fighting

Prizes: 1

One-hit KOs: 299

Fastest KO: 1 Energy

Game plan

Hit its Weakness. Bronzong is weak to Fire and Darkness, so those attacks do double damage. 108 Standard cards can Knock it Out in one hit that way — the fastest needs just 1 Energy.
Don't over-invest. It only gives up 1 Prize card, so avoid spending a big two-Prize attacker on it if a cheaper Pokémon can do the job.
Avoid Grass and Fighting attacks. Bronzong resists them, so they do less damage.
Plan for its big hit. Its strongest printed attack is Metal Block for 120 (3 Energy). 552 Standard cards have enough HP to survive one hit — before any Weakness, + or × effects.
Watch the Retreat Cost. It costs 3 Energy to retreat. If it gets stuck in the Active Spot, that's your chance.
