Steelix (also known as Haganeiru in Japanese) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.

Creature description

Steelix is the Iron Snake Pokémon which is both Rock and Steel type. It is the evolved form of Onix that was introduced in Pokémon Gold & Silver; in the Pokémon RPGs from then onward you could typically obtain a Steelix by trading an Onix holding a "Metal Coat" item to another trainer and watching it evolve, then trading the new Steelix back. At the time it was introduced, it was the largest Pokémon species, at an average length of over 30 feet. It was outperformed by the current record-holder for largest Pokémon specie, the blue whale Pokémon Wailord.

Steelix:

A combination of Steel- and Ground-types, Steelix are the longest Pokémon yet to be discovered, reaching over 30 feet in length. Since they live so deep under the surface of the earth, the intense pressure has made their bodies stronger than diamonds. Evolved from Onix, Steelix is every bit as intimidating as its relative.
