Pokémon Legends: Arceus - How To Get Steelix
One of the Pokémon that players can find and capture in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is Steelix, a Steel- and Ground-type Pokémon that has long been a staple of the series since the release of Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver. Steelix is well known for its incredible defensive prowess, specifically its Defense stat that protects it from many types of physically offensive moves. Additionally, because Steelix is both a Steel- and Ground-type, it has two types of immunities on top of eight different resistances.
Despite Steelix's massive size and Defense stat, the rest of the Pokémon's stats are, unfortunately, underwhelming. This can make using Steelix difficult in some cases, particularly as it challenges any Fire- or Water-type Pokémon that specialize in a Special Attack stat. Fortunately, Steelix does have a type advantage over Fairy-type Pokémon like Cleffa in Legends: Arceus, but Steelix's worst feature is its Speed stat, which can make or break the Pokémon if it's one of the last Pokémon available to use in battle.
