I like the look of Steelix more than Onix

Metal coat was a mistake, what would onyx look like with other evolution trade items. That's what I wanna know.

Steelix is a good Pokémon. Yes, I guess it is ugly in a sense, but that doesn't neuter it's appeal.

One thing notable about Steelix is that he is on of the few item-trade pokémon that is commomly seen in the wild. Onix burrows underground and by burrowing very deep for a long time, magic happens and he turns into a Steelix overtime

Metal Coat just emulates the effect, but much faster, so Onix wouldn't be compatible with other trade items.

Scyther to Scizor is the real mistery

Steel Ground is a bad typing. Steelix would be better as a pure steel type

Look at this retard. Look at him and laugh.

Granted it was better before Steel didn't resist Dark and Ghost, but Steel/Ground is one of the best defensive combinations.

Onix is shit, and they made it better with this OG steel type behemoth.

Steelix was a real man's nigga. When I first saw it on Jasmine's team I thought "fuck I want a kickass metal snake monster too." Onix went from a joke "first game boss" Pokémon that Brock uses to stomp little kids and their Pikachu to this beast.

Ground is currently the best type in the game. You are wrong as fuck.

Sorry about your bad taste mate. :(

At least we know Jasmine loves long big things ;)

>no pic to post

Steelix looks way better

>steel/ground

weak to fire, fighting, ground and water

That's 4 of the most potent and common attacking types
