The '''Steel type''' (Japanese: '''はがねタイプ''' ''Steel type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Steel-type Pokémon are [[Jasmine]] of [[Olivine City]]; [[Steven Stone]], {{pkmn|Champion}} of [[Hoenn]]; [[Byron]] of [[Canalave City]]; and [[Wikstrom]] of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]]. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Steel-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.
The '''Steel type''' (Japanese: '''はがねタイプ''' ''Steel type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. It was introduced in [[Generation II]], along with the {{t|Dark}} type. As well as introducing new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[move]]s with the Steel type, 2 Pokémon were changed to have the Steel type. Steel-type moves are super effective against {{t|Fairy}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, while Steel-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{type|Ground}} moves.
 
The Steel type was introduced in [[Generation II]]. As well as introducing new Pokémon with the Steel type, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} were changed to be dual-type {{t|Electric}}/Steel Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
===Additional effects===
===Defense===
Steel-type Pokémon are immune to damage from the {{weather|sandstorm}} weather condition.
Defensively, Steel types are considered to be one of the best types of Pokémon to use. In [[Generation II]], the Steel type was created to balance out the previously overpowered {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Psychic}} types, as both types are resisted by Steel. Prior to [[Generation V]], a pure Steel-type Pokémon had resistances to 11 of the 17 types, making it the most resistant type. Since [[Generation VI]], that number has decreased to 10 out of the now 18 types as they no longer resist {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}} but now also resist {{t|Fairy}}. Steel types also have an immunity to {{type|Poison}} attacks and cannot be {{status|poison}}ed (except by {{m|Twineedle}} in Generation II or if poisoned by a Pokémon with {{a|Corrosion}}).


In contrast to {{t|Rock}} types, Steel types can hold up to many attacks because of their typically high {{stat|Defense}}. Due to their high capability of defending, all three of the Steel type's weaknesses ({{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Fire}}) are often used against this type. Fortunately, most Steel types are dual-typed, which defends usually against one or two of these types; however, it is possible for dual-type Steel Pokémon to develop double weaknesses to some of these moves.
In [[Generation II]], Steel-type Pokémon cannot be {{status|poisoned}} by Poison-type moves, hence they can be poisoned only by {{m|Twineedle}}. Starting from [[Generation III]], Steel-type Pokémon cannot get poisoned at all, except by the [[Ability]] {{a|Corrosion}}, introduced in [[Generation VII]].


Pure Steel-type Pokémon have the second greatest amount of resistances. {{t|Electric}}/Steel is the most resistant dual type, having 11 resistances plus an immunity to Poison.
==Pokémon==
 
As of [[Generation IX]], {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Steel-type Pokémon|pages}} Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Steel-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon are Steel-type (counting those that are Steel-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[regional form]]s), causing it to tie with {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}} as the 6th rarest [[type]] among Pokémon after {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Electric}} and before {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Fighting}}.
Steel-type Pokémon, on average, have the highest Defense among all Pokémon and among fully evolved Pokémon.


===Offense===
The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. {{DL||Changed types|Some Pokémon}} have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.
Offensively, it is only recommended that Steel-type moves be used against Fairy-type Pokémon or when benefited by [[same-type attack bonus]]. There are only three types weak to Steel: {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{t|Fairy}}, the prior two of which are rarely used defensively. Furthermore, the types that do resist Steel other than itself ({{t|Fire}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Water}}) are common. Most Steel-type Pokémon have a second type able to provide more effective moves that could offset this disadvantage.
 
Steel-type Pokémon typically have good {{stat|Attack}} and below-average {{stat|Special Attack}}, though there are some powerful moves in both the [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] fields.
 
===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Steel-type moves are typically {{OBP|Cool|condition}} moves.
 
==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 42 Steel-type Pokémon or 5.8% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Steel-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[Mega Evolution]]s), making it the 5th rarest type, tied with {{t|Electric}}.

* All Steel-type moves affect only one Pokémon at a time. Similarly, it is the only type to lack a move that functions differently in [[Double Battle]]s.
* Before Generation VI, Steel was the only type that had a non-neutral type match-up with all the seventeen existing types, considering both the offense and defense of both types. In Generation VI, it was changed so that Steel no longer resisted Dark- or {{type|Ghost}} moves.

* Each of the three [[first partner Pokémon]] types inflict a different amount of damage when attacking a pure Steel-type Pokémon ({{t|Grass}} does ½× damage, {{t|Water}} does 1× damage, and {{t|Fire}} does 2× damage).
* Each of the three {{pkmn2|starter}} types have a different effectiveness when attacking a pure Steel-type Pokémon (Grass does ½× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage).
** This trait is also shared by the {{t|Bug}} type.
* More Pokémon gain the Steel type upon evolving than any other type, with a total of 10.
* In Generation II, there is a [[glitch type]] that is a copy of the Steel type, named “{{DL|List of glitch types (Generation II)|l) m) ZM}}”. The [[????? (Gold/Silver FF)|?????]]{{sup/2|GS}} (hex form FF) is the only Pokémon with this type. This type has no moves.
* The Steel type is tied with the {{t|Dark}} type for most Pokémon that gain it upon evolving, with a total of thirteen each.
* The Steel type is the only type that resists {{type|Dragon}} moves.
* Despite being introduced in [[Generation II]], there were no pure Steel-type Pokémon until [[Generation III]], with {{p|Mawile}} (at the time) and {{p|Registeel}}.
* Every generation since the Steel type debuted has introduced at least one Steel-type [[Type expert|specialist]].
* The Steel type is the last type to receive a {{tc|Team GO Rocket Grunt}} type specialist in [[Pokémon GO]].
* The Steel type is tied with the {{t|Poison}} type for being the most common type among [[Ultra Beasts]], with three Ultra Beasts being Steel- or Poison-type each.
** They are also the only types to share an immunity to a [[status condition]], both being immune to [[Poison (status condition)|poisoning]].
* The Steel type has been paired up with every other type except for {{t|Normal}} (not including [[Pokéstar Studios]] opponents).

This article is about the in-game type. For the TCG type, see Metal (TCG). For the mountain in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, see Mt. Steel.

The Steel type (Japanese: はがねタイプ Steel type) is one of the eighteen types. It was introduced in Generation II, along with the Dark type. As well as introducing new Pokémon and moves with the Steel type, 2 Pokémon were changed to have the Steel type. Steel-type moves are super effective against Fairy-, Ice-, and Rock-type Pokémon, while Steel-type Pokémon are weak to Fighting-, Fire-, and Ground-type moves.

Battle properties

Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other games outside the core series.

Additional effects

Steel-type Pokémon are immune to damage from the sandstorm weather condition.

In Generation II, Steel-type Pokémon cannot be poisoned by Poison-type moves, hence they can be poisoned only by Twineedle. Starting from Generation III, Steel-type Pokémon cannot get poisoned at all, except by the Ability Corrosion, introduced in Generation VII.

Pokémon

As of Generation IX, 77 Pokémon or 7.51% of all Pokémon are Steel-type (counting those that are Steel-type in at least one of their forms, including regional forms), causing it to tie with Rock and Ground as the 6th rarest type among Pokémon after Dragon and Electric and before Dark and Fighting.

The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. Some Pokémon have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.

Trivia

  • The Steel type has the most resistances of any type.
  • Steel-type Pokémon, on average, have the highest physical Defense among all Pokémon and among fully evolved Pokémon.
  • Generation VII introduced the most Steel-type Pokémon of any generation, with 13, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Steel-type Pokémon since the type was created, with four.
  • Generation VIII introduced the most Steel-type moves of any generation, with eight, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Steel-type moves since the type was created, with one.
  • In Generation II, the Steel type saw one type change in a Pokémon family (Magnemite and Magneton), but no change in moves. The opposite is true for the Dark type, which saw one type change in a move (Bite), but no change in a Pokémon.
  • Before Generation VI, Steel was the only type that had a non-neutral type match-up with all the seventeen existing types, considering both the offense and defense of both types. In Generation VI, it was changed so that Steel no longer resisted Dark- or Ghost-type moves.
  • Each of the three first partner Pokémon types inflict a different amount of damage when attacking a pure Steel-type Pokémon (Grass does ½× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage).
    • This trait is also shared by the Bug type.
  • In Generation II, there is a glitch type that is a copy of the Steel type, named “l) m) ZM”. The ?????GS (hex form FF) is the only Pokémon with this type. This type has no moves.
  • The Steel type is tied with the Dark type for most Pokémon that gain it upon evolving, with a total of thirteen each.
  • The Steel type is the only type that resists Dragon-type moves.
  • Despite being introduced in Generation II, there were no pure Steel-type Pokémon until Generation III, with Mawile (at the time) and Registeel.
  • Every generation since the Steel type debuted has introduced at least one Steel-type specialist.
  • The Steel type is the last type to receive a Team GO Rocket Grunt type specialist in Pokémon GO.
  • The Steel type is tied with the Poison type for being the most common type among Ultra Beasts, with three Ultra Beasts being Steel- or Poison-type each.
  • The Steel type has been paired up with every other type except for Normal (not including Pokéstar Studios opponents).
