'''Onix''' ({{ja|イワーク|Iwāku}}, ''Iwark'') is a creature in the {{uv|Pokémon}} media franchise.


==Origin==
==Creature description==
{{pkmn|Onix}} is a Rock/Ground-type [[List of Pokémon|Pokémon]] introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}}, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #095 as the "Rock Snake Pokémon". It evolves into {{pkmn|Steelix}} starting from {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation II}} when {{iw|bulbapedia|trade}}d while holding a {{iw|bulbapedia|Metal Coat}}. It is notable for being {{iw|bulbapedia|Brock}}'s signature Pokémon.
Onix is a colossal, boulder-like, segmented serpent with a rocky horn on its head. The Pokédex explains that it rapidly bores through the ground at 50 miles per hour by squirming and twisting its massive, rugged body in search of food, which is the rocks it eats the whole time. As it digs through the ground, it absorbs many hard objects, which is what makes its body so solid. It has a magnet in its brain that acts as a compass so that it does not lose direction while it is tunneling. As it grows older, its body becomes steadily rounder and smoother and harden to become similar to a diamond, but colored black. The thunderous roar of its tunneling echoes a long way, and the tunnels it leaves are used as homes by Diglett.


{{iw|bulbapedia|Rock Throw}} is a Rock-type move with 50 base power and 90% accuracy introduced in Generation I. It is the weakest Rock-type move with no special effects, and it can be learned naturally by a variety of Rock-type Pokémon at a low level, including Onix in all games since Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Stat-wise, Onix has the highest Defense stat of all unevolved Pokémon, but its other stats are very poor, particularly its Special Attack and HP.
Onix made its debut in ''[[Pokémon Red & Blue]]''. Brock, the Pewter City gym leader, owned a level 14 Onix. Bruno, the second trainer of the Elite Four, also has two Onixes on his team. Onix can be found in the wild in caves like Mt. Moon and Victory Road. In ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl]]'', Roark also owns a level 12 Onix. In the anime, Brock, one of Ash's friends, owned an Onix. Brock would use his Onix when faced with a huge task. Onix gained an evolution named [[Steelix]] when the second generation of games came rolling around. A trainer could evolve Onix into a Steelix by giving Onix a Metal Coat to hold and trading it to another trainer. It is also said that Onix automatically evolves after a period of 100 years.

Onix can be summoned by a [[Poké Ball]], using Rock Throw as its attack. When summoned, Onix leaps to the top of the screen and make boulders fall onto the stage. Onix itself can damage other characters as it rises, and the rocks hit opponents with [[set knockback]]. Onix's attack does not harm the summoner. Its voice clip used in the Japanese and English versions comes from the ''Pokémon'' anime episode ''Showdown in Pewter City''.

A life-sized balloon of Onix (in actuality the 3D model of Onix used in ''Pokémon Stadium'' for Nintendo 64) is one of the many floating and bending "platforms" that comprise the [[Poké Floats]] stage. It is the second platform balloon to appear, right after [[Squirtle]], and all matches on this stage have Onix making its appearance as a temporary flat platform similar to [[Final Destination]].
A large balloon of Onix (in actuality, the 3D model of Onix used in ''Pokémon Stadium'', and its sequel ''Pokémon Stadium 2'', both for [[Nintendo 64]]) is one of the many floating platforms that make the [[Poké Floats]] stage. It is the second platform balloon to appear, right after [[Squirtle]], and all matches on this stage have Onix making its appearance as a temporary, lengthy semi-soft [[platform]] with no [[ledge]]s to be grabbed. The Onix balloon features rotating body parts, just like a real Onix.

*Rock Throw's functionality in ''Super Smash Bros.'' is nearly identical to {{iw|wikirby|Wham Bam Rock}}'s "Rock Hail" attack in ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby Super Star}}'', given how both were directed by Masahiro Sakurai.
