Collector Insights
Steelix is a Metal-type Pokémon with 100 HP, part of the E-Card series released in 2003 as part of the Skyridge set. It has a retreat cost of four Colorless Energy and a resistance to Grass-type attacks, reducing damage by 30. The card’s ability, Rare Metal, ensures all basic Energy cards attached to it provide Metal Energy instead of their usual types. Steelix features two attacks: Squeeze, which costs two Metal and one Colorless Energy to deal 20+ damage and potentially Paralyze the defending Pokémon, and Metal Tail, a four-Energy attack that flips a coin to deal either 40 or 80 damage. Its weaknesses include a ×2 vulnerability to Fire-type attacks. The card was illustrated by artist Hikaru Koike and is numbered 31 in the set. It is classified as a Rare card with a regulation mark unspecified. The design emphasizes Steelix’s metallic attributes through its abilities and attack mechanics.
