Onix (イワーク, Iwark) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise. It is a Rock/Ground-type Pokémon (#095 in the National Pokédex) that evolves into Steelix since the series' second generation. Onix is a huge snakelike Pokémon whose body is composed of hard rocks. In Super Smash Bros., Onix uses Rock Throw, a relatively weak Rock-type move.

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Onix makes its Smash debut as a Pokémon that comes out of a Poké Ball in Super Smash Bros., using Rock Throw as its attack. When summoned, Onix will jump to the top of the screen and make boulders fall onto the stage. Onix itself can damage other characters as it rises, and the rocks hit opponents with set knockback. Onix's attack does not harm the summoner.

As a stage element

A large balloon of Onix (in actuality the 3D model of Onix used in Pokémon Stadium, and its sequel Pokémon Stadium 2, both for Nintendo 64) is one of the many floating platforms that comprise the Poké Floats stage. It is the second platform balloon to appear, right after Squirtle, and all matches on this stage have Onix making its appearance as a temporary, lengthy semi-soft platform with no ledges to be grabbed. The Onix balloon features rotating body parts, just like a real Onix.
