The '''Steel type''' (Japanese: '''{{j|はがねタイプ}}''' ''Steel type''), originally called the '''{{j|メタルタイプ}}''' ''Metal type'' in the {{g|Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo}}, is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. It was introduced in [[Generation II]], along with the {{t|Dark}} type. As well as introducing new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[move]]s with the Steel type, 2 Pokémon were changed to have the Steel type. Steel-type moves are super effective against {{t|Fairy}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, while Steel-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{type|Ground}} moves.
