In the anime
Steelix first appeared as one of Jasmine's Pokémon in Nerves of Steelix. Ash's Cyndaquil managed to defeat it during Ash's gym battle with Jasmine.
A Steelix was one of the three Pokémon used by Attila and Hun of Team Rocket.
Harrison used a Steelix against Ash during the Silver Conference in Playing with Fire.
In All Torkoal, No Play, a Steelix from Steel Valley was scaring the wits out of a wild Torkoal that would soon belong to Ash.
Morrison's Steelix debuted in Saved by the Beldum. It is Morrison's main tank and powerhouse.
Brock's Onix evolved into a Steelix sometime before Grating Spaces while it was being trained by Brock's little brother, Forrest, in the Pewter City Gym.
Team Rocket accidently stuck three shovels into the head of an underground Steelix while digging a pitfall trap in DP023. It went on to terrorise a village of Bidoof until the shovels were removed.
In the manga
In Pokémon Special Jasmine used a Steelix diguised as an Onix in the Gym Leader's Tournament.
In the TCG
Other appearances
Steelix only appears as a random trophy.
Trophy information
A combination of Steel- and Ground-types, Steelix are the longest Pokémon yet to be discovered, reaching over 30 feet in length. Since they live so deep under the surface of the earth, the intense pressure has made their bodies stronger than diamonds. Evolved from Onix, Steelix is every bit as intimidating as its relative.
