-Defensively, Steel types are considered to be one of the best types of Pokémon to use. As of [[Generation II]], Steel type is created to balanced out the previously overpowered {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Psychic}} types, as both types are resisted by Steel. Prior to [[Generation V]], a pure Steel-type Pokémon had resistances to 11 of the 17 types, making it as the most resistant type. Since [[Generation VI]], that number has decreased to 10 out of the now 18 types, as they no longer resist {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}, but now also resist the {{t|Fairy}}. 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).

 In contrast to {{t|Rock}} types, Steel types can hold up to many attacks because of their typically high {{stat|Defense}}. Due to their high capability of defending, all three of the Steel type's weaknesses ({{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fire}}) are often used against this types. 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.
