Collector Insights
Steelix is a Pokémon card from the Wind from the Sea set, released on May 24, 2002. It is numbered 72 and classified as a Rare card, with the Japanese language version illustrated by artist Hajime Kusajima. The card features a base HP of 100 and includes two distinct attacks. The first, Earth Rift, requires two Colorless Energy and deals 10 damage to each of the opponent’s Benched Pokémon, bypassing Weakness or Resistance for those Pokémon. It also includes a coin flip effect, potentially preventing the attack from being used during the next turn if tails are flipped. The second attack, Iron Smash, demands four Energy costs—two Metal and two Colorless—and has a probabilistic damage outcome based on coin flips. If both coins land heads, it deals 50 damage plus an additional 20; if both are tails, it inflicts no damage. If one coin is heads and the other tails, it simply deals 50 damage. These attacks highlight the card’s strategic versatility in battle scenarios.
