Collector Insights

Steelix is a Metal-type Pokémon with 120 HP, featuring a retreat cost of four Colorless energy. It includes two attacks: Guard Press, which requires one Metal and two Colorless energy to deal 40 damage and reduces incoming damage by 20 during the opponent's next turn, and Steel Swing, needing two Metal and two Colorless energy to deal 80 damage multiplied by the number of heads from two flipped coins. The card has a resistance to Psychic-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, and is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. Steelix's design reflects its compressed underground origin, as noted in its flavor text. It was released in the HeartGold & SoulSilver series under the HS—Unleashed set on May 12, 2010. The card is illustrated by artist Masakazu Fukuda and is classified as a Rare card. Its balanced energy costs and defensive traits make it a versatile defensive Pokémon in gameplay scenarios.

Its body has been compressed deep under the ground. As a result, it is even harder than a diamond.
