Roark's Onix (Japanese: ヒョウタのイワーク Hyouta's Iwark) is one of Roark's Pokémon in the games, anime, and the Pokémon Adventures manga.
In the anime
The powerhouse of Roark's team, Onix was used as Roark's second Pokémon during his match against Paul in Shapes of Things to Come!. It first went up against Elekid and while it was able to weaken it, Onix was struck by Elekid's Static and was paralyzed, allowing it to be defeated by Chimchar.
During Roark's first match against Ash in A Gruff Act to Follow!, Onix was used as Roark's second Pokémon after Ash's Turtwig defeated Cranidos. It was able to defeat both Turtwig and Pikachu, both of whom were already exhausted from their battle against Cranidos, winning the battle for Roark.
During the rematch against Ash in O'er the Rampardos we Watched, Onix was Roark's first Pokémon, going up against Pikachu. This time, Onix was defeated by Pikachu's Iron Tail.
It reappeared in a flashback in Dealing With Defensive Types!, revealing a similar style of battling between Onix and Roark's father Byron's Steelix in the way they use Screech as a defense against attacking Pokémon.
