Onix was first seen during Brock's match with [[Ash]] at the [[Pewter Gym]] where it was used against {{AP|Pikachu}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. Onix wasn't fazed by Pikachu's {{m|Thunder Shock}}s because of its secondary {{t|Ground}} type, and was easily able to subdue Pikachu with a {{m|Bind}}. Ash decided to forfeit the match because he couldn't stand to see Pikachu in pain. Onix was also used in Brock's rematch with Ash where it battled Pikachu once again. This time Pikachu's newly learned {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack was actually able to cause damage to Onix, though it was still not enough to defeat it. Onix once again had Pikachu in a Bind until Brock told it to stop because Brock didn't want to hurt Pikachu. Eventually Pikachu's Thunderbolt set off the sprinklers, severely damaging Onix because of its severe weakness to water. Pikachu took Onix down with one final Thunderbolt, but Ash chose to forfeit. Brock decided to give Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}} anyway, and then joined him on his journey, bringing Onix with him. | Onix was first seen during Brock's match with [[Ash]] at the [[Pewter Gym]] where it was used against {{AP|Pikachu}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''.

Like most of Brock's {{cat|Brock's Pokémon|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. | Like most of Brock's {{cat|Brock's Pokémon|Pokémon}}, Onix received very little screentime in comparison to the Pokémon of the other main characters.

In ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'', it was revealed that Brock usually polished his Geodude and Onix as part of his [[Breeder]] duties. The dubious task of polishing Brock's Onix fell to Ash, who attempted to shorten his chore through use of his {{AP|Totodile}}'s {{m|Water Gun}}, which caused Onix to panic and earned Ash a reprimand from {{an|Misty}}. It was captured by Team Rocket, but was rescued by the arrival of Brock, {{TP|Brock|Golbat}} and {{TP|Brock|Pineco}}. It then used Rock Throw to send Team Rocket blasting off. | In ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'', it was revealed that Brock usually polished his Geodude and Onix as part of his [[Breeder]] duties.

In ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', Onix was used in a battle against [[Lola|Brock's mother]] and her {{p|Mantine}} in order to decide if the [[Pewter City]] Gym will become a {{type|Water}} Gym. Onix appears at a disadvantage, perched on a tiny island of rock in the middle of the lake. However, Onix leaps straight up, then dives down into its perch, starting out with Dig. With the rock destroyed, water floods into the new tunnel, which drains all of the water in the lake. Mantine flaps around and is unable to move anywhere, allowing Onix to come up underneath it and strike. While the attack caused damage it allowed Mantine to get up and fly. It then launches a {{m|Bubble Beam}}, which Onix counters with Bind. Lola tries to get Mantine to use {{m|Confuse Ray}}, but it fails. However, another Bubble Beam does work. Onix lets go of Mantine, who goes into a third Bubble Beam, but Onix defeats Mantine with {{m|Slam}}, allowing the Pewter Gym to remain a Rock-only Gym. Afterwards Brock ended up lending Onix, Geodude, and Crobat to his eldest sibling, [[Forrest]], who took on the role of [[Gym Leader]] at Pewter City while Brock went to [[Hoenn]]. | In ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', Onix was used in a battle against [[Lola|Brock's mother]] and her {{p|Mantine}} in order to decide if the [[Pewter City]] Gym will become a {{type|Water}} Gym.

Like many of {{cat|Brock's Pokémon}}, Steelix received very little personality development while it was on-screen, which was not often, most likely due to its size. However, it is very loyal to Brock as his [[starter Pokémon]] and reflects his personality quite closely. Like Brock, Steelix was very intimidating and serious in its debut appearance, mercilessly crushing {{AP|Pikachu}} in obedience to its commands. Like Brock, its tough exterior hides a sensitive interior. Just as Brock gets emotional over women, Steelix has been shown to be morbidly afraid of water. In the big race in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', Steelix kept up a top three position until they hit a body of water and were forced to retire, causing it to cry in disappointment. When necessity forced it to expose itself to water when damming the [[Cinnabar Island#Volcano|Cinnabar volcano]], it only permitted the tip of its tail to be soaked. | Like many of {{cat|Brock's Pokémon}}, Steelix received very little personality development while it was on-screen, which was not often, most likely due to its size.

Onix was the second Pokémon Brock used during his Gym battle against {{OBP|Red|Origins}} in | Onix was the second Pokémon Brock used during his Gym battle against {{OBP|Red|Origins}} in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]''. At first, it took massive and almost fatal [[damage]] from Red's {{p|Nidoran♂}}'s {{m|Double Kick}}, but was then able to defeat it with {{m|Bide}}. It then proceeded in defeating also Red's {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Rattata}}, and {{p|Metapod}} in a quick succession, although the last managed to land a {{m|String Shot}} on it before being defeated. Red was left with only {{TP|Red|Charmander}}, and as it had also been significantly weakened while battling [[Brock's Geodude]], both Trainers knew that the first one to land a hit on the opponent would win. Thanks to Onix's speed having been reduced by Metapod's String Shot, Charmander was able to outspeed the Rock Snake Pokémon and strike it with {{m|Scratch}}, defeating it and giving Red the victory. | ||
