Steelix is a Metal-type Pokémon with 100 HP, requiring four Colorless energy to retreat. It features two attacks: Earth Rift, which costs two Colorless energy to deal 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and includes a coin flip effect that may prevent its use in the next turn, and Iron Smash, a more powerful attack that costs two Metal and two Colorless energy. The latter involves flipping two coins to determine damage output, with varying results based on the outcomes. Steelix resists Grass-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card belongs to the E-Card series, released as part of the Aquapolis set in January 2003. It is illustrated by artist Hajime Kusajima and carries a Rare rarity designation. The card's design aligns with its classification as a Pokémon, reflecting its mechanical and earthy attributes through its artwork and mechanics.
