Steelix (disambiguation)

Steelix (also known as Haganeiru in Japanese) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.

Creature description

Steelix is a colossal, metallic, segmented serpent with a huge head and jaw. As explained by the Pokédex, it is believed that the already huge, rocky Onix evolved into this species after having lived deep underground for over 100 years, tempering its body through compression and heat into a metal substance like a diamond but even harder. Alternatively, it is thought its body transformed as a result of iron accumulating internally from swallowing soil.

Steelix features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows:

Steelix:

A combination of Steel- and Ground-types, 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.
