Steelix (Japanese: ハガネール Haganeil) is a dual-type Steel/Ground Pokémon.
It evolves from Onix via trade with a Metal Coat.
Biology
Physiology
Steelix resemble giant iron snakes. They are a reflective, silvery gray, which reflects the sunlight making them shine slightly. They are about 30 feet long. Their body is made up of rock-like sections, some of which have massive rock spikes coming out of them. They have a massive head mainly made up of their jaw. The jaw is large and wide with sets of large square teeth inside. Along their bottom jaw are a pair of ridges (varies with gender). Their eye sockets are slightly set in, giving them good eye protection. Underneath their bottom jaw and chin, on the underside of the jaw, there are small square domes. Their heads have two long ridges going from the eyes up to the top of their heads. Their jaws also have massive ridges where they meet their skull.
The rock portions on their body start at the back of their head. There are three slightly larger sections that have the massive rock-like spikes coming out of them. The tail ends in a long sharp point, but with a blunt tip. Steelix's rock-like sections don't look perfect and can easily be mistaken for rocks, for they have many chips and scrapes all along them from fights and tunneling.
Gender differences
A male Steelix has two pairs of sharp ridges on each side of its bottom jaw, one big one and one slightly smaller one. A female Steelix has only one pair of ridges on either side of its bottom jaw.
Special abilities
Steelix are harder than any other Pokémon. They can create Sandstorms by spinning their body round and round and they can tighten and harden their tail so they can attack.
Behavior
Steelix are rather rash and often charge into situations without thinking about the consequences of their actions. Often if they are disturbed they will attack anyone rather than the actual person responsible for disturbing them. They also often prone to being a bit vain and in some cases a bully to other Pokémon that happen to live in the area they are living in. This could be from evolving from Onix and realizing how powerful they have become and letting this knowledge go to their heads, as Onix are usually more peaceful than Steelix. Steelix don't give up until they are beaten. Often they are adamant about their choice of action. Steelix like to burrow underground and prefer to live inside mountains or on mountains, or even caves.
Habitat
Steelix live far underground, miles from the surface. They don't often surface above ground unless provoked. They can be found roaming around in deep caverns and tunnels. It is said that when an earthquake happens, multiple Steelix are battling far below the surface.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
From Steelix's Pokédex entries, it can be presumed that Steelix eat soil and boulders.
In the anime
Major appearances
Brock's Steelix
Brock's Onix evolved into a Steelix sometime before Grating Spaces while it was being trained by Brock's little brother, Forrest, in the Pewter City Gym.
Other
Steelix first appeared as one of Jasmine's Pokémon in Nerves of Steelix. Jasmine first used Steelix to help Ash stop Team Rocket from stealing Pikachu. Then, during the gym battle, Ash's Cyndaquil managed to defeat it, winning Ash the Mineral Badge.
Harrison used a Steelix against Ash during the Silver Conference in Playing with Fire. It defeated Noctowl but was defeated by his Snorlax.
In All Torkoal, No Play, a Steelix from Steel Valley was scaring the wits out of a wild Torkoal that would soon belong to Ash.
Team Rocket accidentally stuck three shovels into the head of an underground Steelix while digging a pitfall trap in Faced with Steelix Determination. It went on to terrorize a village of Bidoof until the shovels were removed through the combined efforts of multiple Bidoof, Ash's Staravia, and his Pikachu.
In Dealing With Defensive Types!, a Steelix belonging to Byron was used in the gym battle against Ash. It put up a tough fight, defeating Ash's Buizel, despite its type advantage and then fought against Ash's Chimchar. Despite its exhaustion from its earlier battle, Chimchar was able to defeat Steelix after a prolonged battle.
Steelix appeared in Steeling Peace of Mind! and Saving the World From Ruins! where it was one of the Template:Type2 Pokémon on Iron Island that had gone crazy due to Team Galactic.
Minor appearances
A Steelix was one of the three Pokémon used by Attila and Hun of Team Rocket in The Legend of Thunder!.
Morrison's Steelix debuted in Saved by the Beldum.
A Steelix appeared in Barry's flashback in A Shield with a Twist!.
Pokédex entries

In the manga
In Pokémon Adventures, Jasmine used a Steelix disguised as an Onix in the Gym Leader's Tournament of the opening ceremonies in the Pokémon League. Brock's Onix tightened its grip on the hidden steel Pokémon, but against the unusual hardiness of its evolution, it only hurt itself, and was eventually defeated after Steelix's stone "hide" scraped off and it was exposed. Jasmine explains that because it was a newly discovered species only so far uncovered by {{adv|Crystal}'s capture, she tried to hide its identity in the hopes that it wouldn't be treated as simple eye candy for curious spectators. Years later, Carr of the Team Rocket beast trio used one against Red's Poli as they clashed in the Sevii Islands. It was swung aside rather easily as it was interrupted in its rampage, and after a failed Iron Tail, it was beaten by a smart Mind Reader maneuver. Another was on Iron Island and was used for training with Riley.
In the TCG
- Main article: Steelix (TCG)
Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Steelix only appears as a random trophy.
Trophy information
A combination of Steel- and Template:Type2s, Steelix are the longest Pokémon yet to be discovered, reaching over 30 feet in length. Since they live so deep under the surface of the earth, the intense pressure has made their bodies stronger than diamonds. Evolved from Onix, Steelix is every bit as intimidating as its relative.
Game data
NPC appearances
Pokémon Ranger

Trivia
- Steelix is the second longest known Pokémon, surpassed in length only by Wailord.
- In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Steelix is the only Pokémon normally obtainable through trade evolution while holding an item that can also be captured in the wild, as well as one of the very few evolved Pokémon not evolved by level available in the wild without the use of a cheating device (along with Raichu and Wigglytuff in Pokémon Red and Blue and Gengar in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum).
- In addition, though the manga has Professor Oak state that it was captured in the wild, one cannot encounter it outside of evolving its predecessor without cheating prior to Generation IV. The anime also showed several wild Steelix before the DP season.
- Steelix's base Defense stat is the second highest of all Pokémon, tying with Regirock at 200, and only surpassed by Shuckle at 230.
- This also means that Steelix has the highest Defense stat of all Template:Type2 and Template:Type2 Pokémon, along with the highest Defense of all evolved Pokémon.
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Steelix.
- Inexplicably, Steelix is shown floating above the ground in all of the high-grade console games.
- Steelix and its pre-evolution are the only non-Template:Type2 Pokémon to learn DragonBreath by leveling up.
- Steelix's cry is longer in Generations III and IV than it was in Generation II.
- Despite being part Template:Type2, it can't learn any Ground-type moves by level-up outside of the non-damaging Mud Sport. In fact, most of its moveset is made up of Template:Type2 moves.
- Steelix's stats are 40 points higher than Onix's in HP, Attack, and Defense. The reverse happened with Speed, which decreased by 40.
- Steelix is the heaviest Generation II Pokémon.
- Steelix is the only Pokémon so far in the Pokémon Ranger games that can hurt the Capture Styler simply by touching the line.
Origin
Steelix, like Onix, may be based on a mythical wyrm.
Name origin
Steelix's name is likely a combination of steel and Onix.
Its Japanese name is based on 鋼 hagane, steel, possibly combined with the English word nail or tail.
In other languages
- German: Stahlos - From Stahl (steel) and possibly Koloss (colossus).
- French: Steelix
- Korean: 강철톤 Gangcheolton
- Chinese (Taiwan): 大鋼蛇 Dà Gāng Shé - Literally "Big steel snake".
