So Mega Lucario is definitely a good all-rounder, especially if you aren’t intending to use it particularly defensively! 8. It’s definitely more Fighting than Steel in terms of its moves, but Mega Lucario definitely has the benefits of a Steel type in terms of its lack of weaknesses, with many types struggling to be effective against it.

Though Mega Lucario’s strongest Steel type move is learned at level 48 – Meteor Mash – and has only a 90% chance of hitting, it does have the superb Close Combat move at level 60, which is 100% accurate and has 120 Power too! Def, it makes up for it by being surprisingly quick in terms of its Speed. Though – surprisingly, for a Steel type – it doesn’t have particularly great Defence or Sp. This bipedal beast is just as formidable as it looks, with a superb Attack stat that only just outranks its impressive Sp. Though Lucario is strong in its own right, it’s nothing compared to its Mega Evolution, which made its first appearance in Pokemon X and Y. Generation four titles saw the introduction of Fighting and Steel type Pokemon Lucario. It’s worth noting that Fire, Water, Fighting and Ground type moves all have a chance against Mega Steelix, however – with them being Super Effective! 9. Like most Steel Pokemon, it has very few weaknesses – with Electric and Poison type moves being completely ineffective. Atk and Speed.ĭespite its incredible Defence, Mega Steelix is a very slow Pokemon with fairly average HP – which does mark it down in our estimation. Unfortunately, though it definitely excels in terms of its Defence, as well as an above average Attack stat, it underwhelms in other areas – particularly in terms of its Sp. So why is it ranked so low on the list of the best Steel type Pokemon?


In fact, Mega Steelix is joint second in the entire Pokedex, in terms of how high its Defence stat is! Yet its Mega evolved form – which you can get using Steelixite – is even stronger, Defence-wise. If you trade an Onix – one of the original, first generation Pokemon – while it holds Metal Coat, it’ll evolve into a Steel and Ground type Steelix.Īs with many Steel type Pokemon, Steelix has absolutely phenomenal Defence – good luck with damaging this Pokemon! Though Steelix itself debuted in generation two titles Pokemon Gold and Silver, it wasn’t until Omega Ruby and Sapphire onwards that its Mega Evolution became available.
