Abilities

    • Rock-Head

      This Pokemon does not receive recoil damage from its recoil moves. struggle's recoil is unaffected. This ability does not prevent crash damage from missing with jump kick or high jump kick.

    • Sturdy

      When this Pokemon is at full HP, any hit that would knock it out will instead leave it with 1 HP. Regardless of its current HP, it is also immune to the one-hit KO moves: fissure, guillotine, horn drill, and sheer cold. If this Pokemon is holding a focus sash, this ability takes precedence and the item will not be consumed.

Hidden Abilities

    • Sheer-Force

      This Pokemon's moves with extra effects have 1.3× their power, but lose their extra effects. An effect chance is a move's chance to inflict a status ailment, cause a stat change, or make the target flinch in addition to the move's main effect. For example, thunder shock's paralysis is an extra effect, but thunder wave's is not, nor are knock off's item removal and air cutter's increased critical hit rate. Moves that lower the user's stats are unaffected.

  I'm feeling lucky!

Steelix

Steelix pokemon has two types, ground and steel. It belongs to Generation II.

Steelix goes through an evolution from Onix when traded while being exposed to a Metal Coat (Pokemon Legends: Arceus) or having a hold of a Metal Coat (from Generations II to VII Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Sword and Shield).

Steelix can become MegaSteelix with the help of Steelixite.

Characteristics

Steelix pokemon looks like a snake. It has a long, flexible body made from several spherical sections. These sections can interestingly hold scrapes and chips that Steelix gets from tunneling and fighting.

Three sections have long rock spikes on each side. It has a massive skull, a wide jaw, and big, square teeth. The male Steelix’s bottom jaw has three ridges, while the female has only one pair. The bottom of its lower jaw has many tiny, square bumps. Its eyes are bright red and deep. Two long ridges start from the eyes to the top of the head. Its tail has a cone-like sharp tip.

Mega Steelix’s body grows in length and nearly doubles its weight. Mega Steelix has color-changing blue eyes and a round lower jaw. There is a third pair of ridges and two sharp flat structures of three fused bumps on each side of its bottom jaw. The gray, rocky spikes and tail tips have evolved into prism-like solid spikes with larger sections.

Smaller units have black spots and a blue hexagon between the head and individual spike parts. Its neck has many metal-like scraps to adjust its body to attack. The energy produced by Mega Evolution makes the cells within its body hard so they can tolerate any temperature. As a result, it slowly, but its protected body is safe from attack, so it can quickly attack its enemies.

Steelix, like its final form, Onix, can dig underground up to six-tenths of a mile and live in mountains or caves. Steelix can dig very deep. Its eyes can see in the dark, and its strong jaws can chew stones. However, its body is rugged because of underground heat and pressure and an iron-rich dirt diet. Steelix has evolved because Onix’s composition becomes harder after a life of 100 years.
