Okay, I know Steel types are weak against fire types, but wouldn’t Steelix be the exception? The reason why I am asking this is because Steelix tend to live further underground than Onix, in fact they tend to be found at the earth’s core which is made up of magma. At the earths core they eat molten rocks and metals to harden their bodies to the point where its harder than a diamond. My point is if Steelix can eat molten rocks and metals and tunnel within the earths core, why is it weak against fire types?[[User:Pyrotech12|Pyrotech12]] ([[User talk:Pyrotech12|talk]]) 05:42, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

:Because its primary type is Steel. That's literally the only reason. You can't over-analyze it too much. Just look at the Sandshrew mini-game in Stadium. Sandshrew play on a water spout and ''enjoy it'', despite being weak to Water. <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>]] 05:53, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

== Levitating sprite? ==
In my Pokémon Pearl version, the sprite for a male Steelix, possibly female as well, is not touching its shadow, giving the impression of levitation. Is this true for all Sinnoh games or is mine glitching somehow? And if it happens in all games, is it worth mentioning in the trivia section?
