Steelix (Japanese: ハガネール Haganeil) is a dual-type Steel/Ground pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from Onix when traded while holding a Metal Coat.
Steelix can Mega Evolve into Mega Steelix using the Steelixite. Mega Steelix was introduced in pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
As Mega Steelix, its body becomes longer, almost doubles its mass, and gains more features. Mega Steelix's eyes turn blue and its lower jaw becomes more heavily armored with a round, curved shape. Additionally, a third pair of ridges appear on its bottom jaw, as well as two sharp, flat structures consisting of three conjoined projections on each side. The gray, rock-like spikes and its tail point have transformed into iridescent crystalline spikes; the segments from which the spikes protrude are much larger as well. In-between the head and individual spiked segments are smaller units, now adorned by a black spot with a blue hexagon on each side.
Several metallic-looking scraps are magnetically rotated around Mega Steelix's neck; they react to its movements and are positioned defensively when attacking. The cells within its body, crystallized by the energy produced from Mega Evolution, are stronger than any mineral and are able to withstand any temperature. It moves incredibly slowly, but its strengthened body is also impervious to damage, and it lashes out at foes without flinching. It can use [magnet|magnetism]] to control pieces of its hard outer shell that have flaked off, allowing it to shield itself from opponent's attacks.
