Steel (type): Difference between revisions

The '''Steel type''' (Japanese: '''はがねタイプ''' ''Steel type'') 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, two 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.

 

 

As of [[Generation IX]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Steel-type Pokémon|pages}} Steel-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Steel-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Steel-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[regional form]]s), causing it to tie with {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}} as the 6th rarest type after {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Electric}} and before {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Fighting}}.
