Brock's Steelix (Japanese: タケシのハガネール Takeshi's Haganeil) was the first Pokémon acquired by Brock. Its voice actor in both Japanese and English is 石塚運昇 Unshō Ishizuka.

History

Brock received it as an Onix as a birthday present from his father, Flint, as seen in a flashback in A Wailord of a Time!.

Like all of Brock's Pokémon, Onix received very little screentime in comparison to the Pokémon of the other main characters. This may have been due to its massive size, although it did have an impressive battle against Vicious's Tyranitar in Pokémon 4Ever. Like most of Brock's pre-Hoenn Pokémon, Onix does not have a distinct personality.

Brock ended up giving Onix and two of his other Pokémon to his eldest sibling, Forrest, who took on the role of Gym Leader at Pewter City. When Brock returned to the gym in Grating Spaces, Onix had evolved into a Steelix under Forrest's care.

Moves used

Trivia

  • This is Brock's second Template:Type2 Pokémon he has owned, the other one being Forretress.
  • Onix took the longest of all Pokémon in the anime to evolve after its introduction, taking at least 403 episodes, and at most 445 episodes to become a Steelix.
  • Steelix is the first Pokémon of Ash's friends to evolve off-screen, the second would be May's Glaceon.
