Finding the Bronzor location in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is easier than you think. You can start stocking up on Bronzor Fragments almost as soon as you start your journey and then head to Zapapico to evolve your Charcadet into Armarouge and fill out that Paldean Pokédex even before you start your first Gym battle.
This guide explains where to find Bronzor quickly.
Bronzer location in Scarlet and Violet
Bronzor calls several ruins around Paldea home, including the Western Province, the area south of Artazon, and, more importantly, the Southern Province of Area Two. The location of South Province Area Two is the fastest and easiest place to reach and you can visit it as soon as you enter the olive groves around Cortondo.

This is especially handy if you want to quickly evolve your Charcadet – found in zones three and four of the Southern Province – into Armarouge, as you need Bronzor Fragments to make Charcadet’s evolution item into Scarlet.
Travel to Cortondo and head north out of town. Head up the ridge shown in the image below.

Go around the small hill and up the narrow incline to the top of said hill. At the far end is a Wild Tera Fletchling that is almost always there, and a little further on is a small cluster of ruins. You should see at least a few Bronzor floating around, but if not, fly back to Cortondo and try again.
How to get Bronzor Fragments

Like other Pokémon materials, Bronzor Fragments drop when you catch or defeat the Pokémon in question, which is naturally Bronzor in this case. Bronzer in Southern Province, Zone Two should be at or around level 10.
As a dual Psychic and Steel type, Bronzor is weak to fire, darkness, and ghost moves. Paint is banned thanks to psychic typing, but you should be able to pick up Shroodle or Fidough and use Bite to take them down with no problem.
Once you have 10 Bronze Shards, you can exchange them for the Valorous Armor in Zapapico City, but again only in Scarlet. In Violet, you need Sinistea chips for malevolent armor. Zapapico is at the western end of the ruins and wasteland in Eastern Province, and while you don’t usually go there later, you can get to Levincia early and take the northern path into the wasteland to get to Zapapico.
