Collector Insights

Steelix is a Pokémon card from the EX series, part of the Sandstorm set released on September 18, 2003. It is a Metal-type Pokémon with 100 HP and a retreat cost of four Colorless energy. The card features an artist credit for Midori Harada and is classified as a Rare card. Steelix has a resistance to Grass-type attacks, reducing damage by 30, and is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its attacks include "Rage," which costs Fighting and two Colorless energy to deal 10 damage plus 10 additional damage for each damage counter on Steelix, and "Spinning Tail," requiring two Metal and two Colorless energy to inflict 20 damage to each of the opponent's Pokémon. The latter attack bypasses Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. Steelix is numbered 23 in the set and corresponds to Pokémon Dex number 208. The card’s design and mechanics align with its role as a Steel-type Pokémon in the game’s competitive and casual play formats.
