Iron Tail
“Slams the foe with a hard tail. It may also lower Defense.”
Iron Tail is Steel-Type Move and was introduced in Generation II. It was used as TM Move TM23. It hits an opponent with a hardened tail that has a 30% chance of lowering the opponent’s defense.
Right now, Onix and Steelix are the only Pokemon that use this move in our Art Collaboration!
#208 – Steelix
“Tempered underground under high pressure and heat, its body is harder than any metal.”
Steelix is a Steel/Ground type Pokemon that evolves from Onix when traded holding a Metal Coat. When holding a Steelixite, Steelix can evolve further into Mega Steelix! Steelix is made up of multiple rocks as looks particularly serpentine in appearance.
Steelix is incredibly sturdy, being able to endure a lot of hard hits however due to the bulk of it’s weight, Steelix is particularly slow moving. It can often be found burrowing in mountains and caves and is even capable of chewing through boulders.
In the Pokemon anime, Brock owned a Onix that he used to battle Ash in his gym when he first met him. Onix didn’t evolve for a long time, but eventually in the Sinnoh series where it was revealed that Brock’s little brother, Forrest had been training Steelix in the Pewter City Gym and it had evolved there. In the Sun and Moon series, Brock was shown to be able to Mega Evolve his Steelix.
