In [[Generation II]], the Steel type was created to balance out the previously overpowered {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Psychic}} types, as both types are resisted by Steel. Although the number of Steel's resistances decreased from 12 to 11 in [[Generation VI]], Steel remains the most resistant type. Steel types also cannot be {{status|poison}}ed (except by {{m|Twineedle}} in Generation II or if poisoned by a Pokémon with {{a|Corrosion}}) or damaged by a {{weather|sandstorm}}.

{{t|Ghost}}/Steel, {{t|Normal}}/Steel, and {{t|Electric}}/Steel are tied for the most resistances, having 12 resistances each, though only {{t|Ghost}}/Steel and {{t|Electric}}/Steel have pokemon of this type combination <!--as of Generation 7-->. The {{t|Ghost}}/Steel type combination, however, is the most resistant type, having 3 immunities.
