Every Steelix card

The short version

Steelix has three printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across three expansions — the earliest in Wisdom of Sea and Sky and the most recent in Pulsing Aura. It is a Stage 1 Metal-type Pokémon with 150 HP, weak to Fire, with a retreat cost of 4. They run to three rarities — one Uncommon, one Rare and one Shiny. The hardest to pull is the Shiny from Pulsing Aura, at about 1 in 559 packs, or 1,000 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 1,285 packs, which is about 1.8 years at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of the Pulsing Aura, Crimson Blaze and Ho-Oh packs. The most recent is Steelix #219, from an expansion that shipped in April 2026. That printing attacks with Metal Defender for 100. The card’s own words: “It is thought its body transformed as a result of iron accumulating internally from swallowing soil.” It has been drawn by three artists.
