Steelix is a Pokémon that is the evolved form of Onix. It was rumoured to exist long before it was actually available (it was known as "Baryonix" before it was actually available.) It is a difficult Pokémon to obtain, as one must make Onix hold a Metal Coat and then trade it in order to make it evolve. Steelix is a Steel/Ground type Pokémon.

Name Origin
This Pokémon's name is derived from the word "steel". The suffix "-ix" is probably just taken from Onix's name to show relation. Similarly, its Japanese name, ハガネール (Haganēru), is derived from the word 鋼 (はがね – hagane – steel)
