#38 Steelix - Diamond & Pearl (dp1)
Steelix is a Metal-type Pokémon with 110 HP and a retreat cost of four Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Slam, which costs one Metal energy and deals 30 damage multiplied by the number of heads from flipping two coins, and Metal Slash, requiring four Energy (two Metal and two Colorless) to deal 100 damage while preventing Steelix from attacking during the next turn. The card resists Psychic-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fire-type attacks by 20. Designed by artist Kouki Saitou, Steelix’s flavor text highlights its formation under extreme underground conditions, resulting in a body harder than conventional metal. It belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series, released in May 2007, and is classified as a Rare card. The Pokémon’s abilities emphasize its durability and strategic versatility within gameplay. Its design reflects a fusion of mechanical resilience and elemental adaptation.
