Collector Insights
Steelix is a Pokémon with 100 HP, classified as a Metal-type, and features a retreat cost of four Colorless Energy. It possesses the Rare Metal ability, which transforms all attached basic Energy cards into Metal Energy, enhancing its efficiency. The card includes two attacks: Squeeze, which costs two Metal and one Colorless Energy to deal 20+ damage and potentially Paralyze the defending Pokémon, and Metal Tail, requiring three Metal and one Colorless Energy to strike for 40 damage or risk dealing none. Steelix resists Grass-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Fire-type moves, which deal double damage. It was released in the Skyridge set under the E-Card series in May 2003. The card’s theme color is a golden-brown hue, and its artwork is attributed to artist Hikaru Koike. Steelix’s design emphasizes its metallic nature and defensive capabilities through its abilities and attack mechanics.
