- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Gyro Ball
- Explosion
Lead bronzong is one of the best leads I've used. It does it's job well setting up two screens, and anything with taunt is weak enough to be taken down by Gyro Ball. Earthquake isn't used here because gyro ball as a whole is more usefull, and anything I can earthquake is dealt with others on my team. Explosion is a big finish after the walls are in place to insure a safe switch.

- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- X-Scissor
Scizor is one of my main physical attackers. Bullet Punch is usefull in many cases. It sets balance between physical and special on this team. Not much to say other than that it's a great back-up in case other sweepers fail.

Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
This Rest Talk heatran absorbs hits like it's nobody's business. It takes care of any fire types trying to mess with bronzong before it explodes. Most people expect the scarf, but the "LOL SUPRISE" isn't the only reason to use it. It absorbs status, and absorbs hits well due to the dual screening of bronzong.

- Roost
- Heat Wave
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Discharge
To add a bit more immunity and defense here. Used to counter scizor and does wonders against locked scarf heatran by using discharge to paralyze. hidden power grass to mess with swampert and other bulky waters trying to mess with heatran or zong.

Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Flamethrower
- Close Combat
- Nasty Plot
- Grass Knot
Nasty plot mixape is makes a great wall killer. It puts bronzong's screens to good use, and can usually pull off a good sweep if done right. Zapdos is OHKO'd by nastyplot flamethrower. Swampert, suicune, and other water/grass/rock types get wrecked by grass knot.

Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Wish
- Surf
- Toxic
- Hidden Power [Electric]
Vaporeon is one of my favorites, I usually use protect instead of Hidden Power Electric, however Gyarados is somewhat of a problem if I don't have it. Toxic is good for walls. It forces a switch out for blissy or celebi, wears down other walls. I might use protect over toxic to be able to wish more effectively.

Now for a bit of basic strategy I use with this team. An obvious strategy is to screen with zong, explode, set up with either scizor or ape(usuall ape) and sweep. Some potential problems I can see are late game DD gyara, and I have had some trouble with rain dance teams in the past.
