Ah, now y’all wantin’ to know how to take down that big ol’ Steelix, huh? Ain’t that fella tough? Well, let me tell ya, I reckon with some right moves and some strong Pokémon, you can bring him down just fine. Steelix, you see, is a Ground and Steel-type Pokémon. That means he’s weak to certain types, so we’re lookin’ at Fire, Water, Fighting, and Ground-type attacks to give him a hard time.
Now let’s break it down real simple, like a good ol’ list:

- Fire-type moves: Fire’s a real scorcher for Steelix. If ya got Pokémon with fire moves, you’ll want ’em here. Bring out Mega Blaziken or Mega Charizard Y if you got ’em. They’re fiery critters, and their flames can really melt Steelix down quick.
- Water-type moves: Well, if fire ain’t doin’ the trick, we bring water! Steelix might be tough, but he ain’t standin’ up to strong water moves. Now, Primal Kyogre here is a big splashy choice with some powerful water attacks. If you don’t have Primal Kyogre, any strong water Pokémon with some heavy-duty moves can do ya just fine.
- Ground-type moves: Now, here’s a trick some folks forget! Ground-types can work wonders against Steelix. Primal Groudon is your best friend for this job. Just have him use Mud Shot as the Fast Attack and Precipice Blades as the Charged Attack. Ol’ Steelix won’t know what hit him.
- Fighting-type moves: Last but not least, Fighting moves can give Steelix a wallopin’. Mega Lucario is a right fine choice for that. Get him in there with a strong fightin’ move, and he’ll take chunks outta Steelix like you wouldn’t believe!
Alright, so you got your choices there. But now, let’s get a bit deeper on how to use these critters.
Primal Groudon is your top choice if you got him. With Mud Shot and Precipice Blades, he’ll give Steelix a run for his money. This move set makes Groudon hit hard and fast, which helps you get that fella down quicker than a jackrabbit.
Primal Kyogre ain’t far behind either. If you got him, get him in there with water moves, and Steelix will be swimmin’ in no time. Plus, Primal Kyogre has power to stay in the game longer, which helps if Steelix is givin’ you a hard time.
Now, if ya don’t got those fancy primal critters, don’t worry your head too much. You can still do fine with other strong Pokémon:
- Mega Charizard Y with fire moves
- Mega Blaziken – real hot-headed fighter with fire moves
- Shadow Kyogre – powerful water attacks, does the job quick
All these will be useful, just might take ya a little longer, ya know? Steelix may be tough, but with these fire, water, ground, and fightin’ moves, you’ll whittle him down one move at a time.
Strategy: Now, when you gettin’ ready for battle, start with the Pokémon that has a type advantage and strong moves ready to go. Rotate through your Pokémon if needed, but try to stick with them best counters. Be ready to dodge Steelix’s powerful moves, though – he can pack a punch! So keep your eyes sharp and your Pokémon even sharper.
Extra Tips: If ya got potions and revives, have ’em handy. Steelix might knock out one or two of your fighters, but that’s just part of the game. Keep bringin’ ‘em back, and you’ll get through just fine.
So there ya go! Get yerself some fire, water, ground, or fightin’ Pokémon, use them moves I talked about, and you’ll be beatin’ Steelix in no time.
