Character description

Onix resembles a long rock snake. Onix's whole body is made of rocks. Onix also has a rock horn on its head. Onix made its debut in Pokemon 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 like in Mt. Moon and Victory Road. In Pokemon 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.
