Biology
Steelix is a snake-like Pokémon. It is the evolution of Onix, occurring when an Onix is exposed to high amounts of pressure underground and consumption of iron, converting its body into a metallic diamond-like structure. Steelix is capable of burrowing to the Earth's core. It can weigh over 400 kilograms (880 lb).
Design & origin
Steelix's name is a combination of "steel" and "onyx".
Forms
Mega Steelix appears as a larger Steelix with 7 crystalline spears jutting from its body, as well as a circle of iron around its neck.

This Pokémon evolved through use of a strange item. Its body is coated with steel powder and notably hard—not even diamond can leave so much as a scratch.

Omega Ruby · Alpha SapphireThe iron it ingested with the soil it swallowed transformed its body and made it harder than diamonds.
Black 2 · White 2It’s said that if an ONIX lives for 100 years, its composition becomes diamondlike as it evolves into a STEELIX.
SoulSilverIt is thought its body transformed as a result of iron accumulating internally from swallowing soil.
Platinum · Black · White · ShieldIt chews its way through boulders with its sturdy jaws. Its eyes can see in the darkness underground.
Pearl · YTempered underground under high pressure and heat, its body is harder than any metal.
Diamond · XIts body has been compressed deep under the ground. As a result, it is even harder than diamond.
