#176 Steelix V - Vivid Voltage (swsh4)

Steelix V is a Metal-type Pokémon with 250 HP, featuring a retreat cost of four Colorless energy. Its attacks include Raging Hammer, which costs one Metal and one Colorless energy to deal 30+ damage, with an additional 10 damage per damage counter on the Pokémon. The second attack, Iron Tackle, requires five Colorless energy and deals 210 damage while also inflicting 30 damage to itself. The card resists Grass-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. It has a regulation mark of D and a rarity of Rare Ultra, released in the Sword & Shield series under the Vivid Voltage set. The card’s unique rule states that when Steelix V is Knocked Out, the opponent loses two Prize cards. Designed by artist Satoshi Shirai, this card emphasizes its high damage output and strategic self-inflicted damage mechanics. The card’s balanced energy costs and specialized resistances make it a notable inclusion in competitive play.
