Collector Insights

Steelix is a Pokémon with 200 HP and a Metal type, featuring a retreat cost of four Colorless energy. It belongs to the Mega Evolution series, released in September 2025, and is classified as an Illustration Rare card. The card includes two attacks: "Welcoming Tail" and "Skull Bash." "Welcoming Tail" requires two Colorless energy and deals 40+ damage, with an additional 200 damage if the player has exactly six Prize cards remaining. "Skull Bash" costs four energy—two Metal and two Colorless—and deals 140 damage without any additional effects. Steelix has a resistance to Grass-type attacks, reducing damage by 30, and is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its design emphasizes a balance between defensive and offensive capabilities within the game's mechanics. The card's strategic value lies in its energy requirements and conditional attack bonuses.

It is thought its body transformed as a result of iron accumulating internally from swallowing soil.
