Collector Insights

Steelix GL is a Metal-type Pokémon from the Platinum series, featured in the Rising Rivals set released on May 16, 2009. It has 110 HP and requires four Colorless Energy cards to retreat. The Pokémon resists Psychic-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fire-type attacks with double damage. Steelix GL has two attacks: Mend and Squeeze. Mend costs two Colorless Energy, allowing the player to search their discard pile for a Metal Energy card and attach it to Steelix GL, removing one damage counter if successful. Squeeze demands four Energy, dealing 30 damage plus additional effects, with a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon. The card’s artwork is by Hajime Kusajima, and it is classified as a Uncommon rarity. Its design emphasizes strategic resource management and defensive capabilities through its abilities.
