This is going to be short and sweet.
Bronzong @ Heatproof
Light Clay
252hp/126def/130 spc def, sassy
Light Screen
Stealth Rock
Reflect
Explosion
This is the Bronzong I run on one of my teams. On this team, I have Latias to switch into whenever I'm worried by Earthquake.
Speaking of earthquake, want to know how many times i've been hit by a ground type move? None. Want to know how often heatproof has saved bronzong? Most games.
Theory: "Heatproof is a decent ability to fool an opponent, though you wouldn't be able to switch into Earthquake, and any Fire-type attack will tip off an opponent that you are using Heatproof. Also, switching into Spikes will give away your ability because you would not take damage while using Levitate."
Any fire type attack will tip them off that I'm using heatproof. So what? What is an infernape going to do after I get a reflect up and its flamethrower did almost nothing? When I get a Light Screen as it Nasty Plots? What will Scarftran do when its Flash Fire boosted Fire Blast does 22%? Infernape and Heatran are the two most common fire types in OU, but if I forgot any main ones then remind me. For the record, Fire Blast from dragonite or salamence only leaves a scratch. Switching into spikes will give it away. So what? I'd rather a resistance to fire and a pseudo-immunity to ground (until they lay down spikes, and against my time that is not an easy task) than an immunity to ground.
Last thing to consider is that it doesn't make earthquake good game for bronzong. While under reflect, CBMetagross' earthquake is a 4hko. And I'd rather heatran be locked into Earth Power rather than Fire Blast; giving me an easy switch to Latias or another pokemon with Levitate.
