The '''Steel type''' (Japanese: '''はがねタイプ''' ''Steel type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in the Steel type include [[Jasmine]] of [[Olivine City]], [[Steven Stone]], former {{pkmn|Champion}} of [[Hoenn]], [[Byron]] of [[Canalave City]], and [[Wikstrom]] of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]]. Prior to [[Generation_IV#Advances_in_gameplay|changes in Generation IV]] all Steel-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

The Steel type was introduced in [[Generation II]]. As well as introducing new Pokémon with the Steel type, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} were retconned to be a dual-type {{t|Electric}}/Steel Pokémon.

Defensively, Steel types are considered to be the best type of Pokémon to use. Until Generation VI, pure steel Pokémon had resistances to 11 of the 17 types, which can make for a good physical and special {{DL|Appendix:Metagame terminology|tank}} in battle. Since Generation VI, that number has decreased to 10 out of the now 18 types. Steel types also have an immunity to {{type|Poison}} attacks, and are very tricky to inflict the {{DL|Poison (status ailment)|Poisoning Steel and Poison-type Pokémon|Poison condition}} on. They can hold up to many attacks, because of their typically high Defense. They are also notably the only type capable of resisting the {{t|Dragon}} type that could otherwise take advantage of its [[STAB]].

Since Generation VI, that number has decreased to 10 out of the now 18 types. Steel types also have an immunity to {{type|Poison}} attacks and cannot be {{status|poison}}ed (except when using {{m|Twineedle}} in Generation II or if poisoned while not Steel-type). They can hold up to many attacks, because of their typically high Defense. They are also notably the only type capable of resisting the {{t|Dragon}} type that could otherwise take advantage of its [[STAB]].  


However, all three of the Steel type's weaknesses — {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fire}} — are very common and popular types. This makes it weak to common moves of those types, including the extremely common {{m|Earthquake}}. Fortunately, most Steel types are dual-types, which defends usually against one of these types; however, it is possible for dual-type Steel Pokémon to develop double weaknesses to some of these moves.

Pokémon purely of the Steel type have the 2nd greatest amount of resistances in the game. {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Magneton}}, and {{p|Magnezone}}, being Steel and {{t|Electric}}, are the most resistant Pokémon in the game, having 12 resistances plus an immunity to Poison. The added Electric type means these Pokémon are also resistant to Electric moves, and have a double resistance to {{t|Flying}} and Steel moves. However, they also have a double weakness to {{type|Ground}} moves (though this can be negated with the move {{m|Magnet Rise}}, giving them a second immunity).
