Steelix (Japanese: ハガネール, Hepburn: Haganeeru) (STEE-licks) is a Steel/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology

Physiology

Steelix is a long, silvery-gray serpentine Pokémon just like Onix. Its body is divided into several gray-colored rocky sections, with blunt gray spikes protruding from three of those sections. It has a huge head, with large square-shaped teeth. Its eyes are red in color.

Gender differences

Male Steelix have two teeth on their outer jaw while females have only one.

Behavior

Steelix are rather rash and often charge into situations without thinking about the consequences of their actions. Often if they are disturbed they will attack anyone rather than the actual person responsible for disturbing them. They also often prone to being a bit vain and in some cases a bully to other Pokémon that happen to live in the area they are living in. This could be from evolving from Onix and realizing how powerful they have become and letting this knowledge go to their heads, as Onix are usually more peaceful than Steelix. Steelix don't give up until they are beaten. Often they are adamant about their choice of action. Steelix like to burrow underground and prefer to live inside mountains or on mountains, or even caves.

Evolution

Steelix can be obtained by making an Onix hold a Metal Coat and trading it. Steelix obtains a mega evolution in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Trivia

• Mega Steelix is the longest Steel-type and Ground-type Pokémon.
• Steelix is the heaviest of the Generation II Pokémon.
• Steelix has the highest base Defense out of all Steel and Ground-type Pokémon.
• So far, every Steelix in the anime, excluding background cameos, has used Iron Tail.

Origin

Steelix is likely based on a snake, worm, or wyrm (a dragon often described as burrowing and limbless). The diamonds present in its Mega Evolution are possibly based on the fact that some metals can become diamonds when compressed. Its high Defense stat while Mega Evolved could also be based on how diamonds are the hardest natural occurring substance on Earth.

Etymology

Steelix is a portmanteau of "steel" and Onix. It may also come from "helix", referencing its serpentine body.

Haganēru is a portmanteau of 鋼 (hagane, steel) and "nail" (often made of metal).
