Bronzong · Astral Radiance, what to know.
About the Bronzong card
Numbered 112 of 216 in Astral Radiance, released in May 2022, Bronzong is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Metal-type carrying 130 HP.
It evolves from Bronzor, so Bronzong is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Bronzong carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Some believe it to be a deity that summons rain clouds. When angered, it lets out a warning cry that rings out like the tolling of a bell."
What is Bronzong worth?
Bronzong is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Bronzong before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Bronzong grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Bronzong
Raw copies of Bronzong are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Bronzong is the practical move.
