Although the number of Steel's resistances decreased from 12 to 11 in [[Generation VI]], Steel remains the most resistant type. Steel types also cannot be {{status|poison}}ed (except by {{m|Twineedle}} in Generation II or if poisoned by a Pokémon with {{a|Corrosion}}) or damaged by a {{weather|sandstorm}}. | ||
{{t|Normal}}/Steel, {{t|Electric}}/Steel, and {{t|Ghost}}/Steel are tied for the most resistances, having 12 resistances each, although there are currently no Pokémon with the combination Normal/Steel<!--as of Generation VII-->. | |||

Revision as of 23:25, 29 June 2020
- 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. Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Steel-type moves were physical, but they may now also be special depending on the attack.
The Steel type was introduced in Generation II, along with the Dark type.

Characteristics
Defense
In Generation II, the Steel type was created to balance out the previously overpowered Normal and Psychic types, as both types are resisted by Steel. Although the number of Steel's resistances decreased from 12 to 11 in Generation VI, Steel remains the most resistant type. Steel types also cannot be poisoned (except by Twineedle in Generation II or if poisoned by a Pokémon with Corrosion) or damaged by a sandstorm.
Normal/Steel, Electric/Steel, and Ghost/Steel are tied for the most resistances, having 12 resistances each, although there are currently no Pokémon with the combination Normal/Steel.
Steel-type Pokémon, on average, have the highest physical Defense among all Pokémon and among fully evolved Pokémon.
Offense
While some Pokémon resist Steel-type attacks, many of these Pokémon are weak to Ground, so combinations of Steel and Ground attacks tend to work well.
Contest properties
In Contests, Steel-type moves are typically Cool moves.
Pokémon
As of Generation VIII, there are 64 Steel-type Pokémon or 7.2% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Steel-type in at least one of their forms, including Alolans and Galarians), making it the 6th rarest type.

In the TCG
- Main article: Metal (TCG)
Introduced in the Neo Genesis set, Metal-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Fire and Fighting with resistances to Grass and Psychic. Metal-type Pokémon can be strong against Water and Fairy, whilst some Water and Lightning Pokémon can resist this type.
Trivia
- Generation V introduced the most Steel-type Pokémon of any generation, with 12, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Steel-type Pokémon since the type was created, with four.
- Generation IV and Generation VIII introduced the most Steel-type moves of any generation, each with seven, 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 regional starter types has a different effectiveness when attacking a pure Steel-type Pokémon (Grass does ½× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage).
- In Generation II, there is a glitch 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.
- Every generation after Generation I has introduced at least one Steel-type specialist.
- More Pokémon gain the Steel and Flying types upon evolving than any other type, each with a total of eleven.
