Evolves in the same Gen? I'm pretty sure that Steelix was introduced in Gen. II. Or am I just misunderstanding something? --[[Blastoise (Pokémon)|<font color="green">Blastoise</font>]]  [[User:Kkllnn|<font color="pink">Rules!!!</font>]] 19:29, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

: Can't you also get the entire Machop line through trades?  Machop in Gold, Silver, Crystal, Heart Gold, and Soul Silver, with Machoke and Machamp being both in Yellow.  Perhaps that needs reworded to "only pokemon where you can get all stages of evolutionary line in a single game not counting 1 stage pokemon".

== Grammar ==
In the Special Abilities section, the sentence that starts "If Onix takes a hard enough blow and it's body falls apart," that should be "its," not "it's."  The Behavior section is a run-on sentence.  In the Habitat section, there seems to be a preposition missing, possibly "in."--[[User:Trebligoniqua|Trebligoniqua]] 12:27, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
== Too much useless trivia ==
Doesn't this article, among others, have some useless comparations as trivia? I mean, who cares if Onix and Swablu are the only pokémon to change their '''primary''' type when they evolve? Shouldn't it be deleted?
Sorry, first editing here, so I don't know if I should do that... [[User:Thorfinn|Thorfinn]] 22:00, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
:Actually, that's pretty important. They're the only dual-typed Pokémon to have that happen. Similar scenario with Gloom (Grass-Poison) and Bellossom (Grass). That's trivia for you.

== First appearance? ==
Umm, Onix first appeared in episode 1, not Showdown at Pewter City. :\ [[User:Ugoz|Ugoz]] 03:35, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
I think it's the first major appearance.

== Wait, what? ==
"When holding an [[Eviolite]], Onix can reach a maximum Defense stat of 690. This is the highest Defense stat obtainable without the assistance of stat modifiers, Abilities or items with adverse effects."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't eviolite count as an item with adverse effects? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 13:02, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
:What do you mean? Eviolite has no adverse effects. The only drawbacks are that it doesn't work with evolved Pokémon (not a problem with Onix) and that it takes up an item slot. --[[User:AndyPKMN|Andy<sup>P</sup><sub>K</sub><sup>M</sup><sub>N</sub>]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 13:41, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
::Oh, I thought the fact fully evolved Pokémon can't use it was an adverse effects. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 23:35, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
== Onix's Cry ==
Is it noteworthy to include that Onix still cries "Iwark" in the dub? I realize it's pretty unintelligible most of the time, but in some episodes, like EP071, it can be heard pretty clearly at some points.
:No, cause tons of Pokémon keep their Japanese voice, especially ones that sound closer to a roar than actual spoken words. However, we do slightly point it out on pages with Onix's voice actors, like [[Brock's Steelix]], in the way that it's listed as having the same voice actor in Japanese and English. <sup>[[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup>[[User:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">Jo the Marten</span>]]<sup>[[Flygon (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup> [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">ಠ_ಠ</span>]][[Cilan (anime)|<span style="color:#90C870;">♥</span>]] 11:49, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
== FRLG pre national pokedex trading ==
What happens if you trade an onix holding a metal coat between FR and LG before you get the national pokedex? Will it still evolve?[[User:Hypershock|Hypershock]] ([[User talk:Hypershock|talk]]) 16:02, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
