PVE Offensive Moves Explanation
-
Iron Tail usually beats Dragon Tail and Thunder Fang on offense due to STAB.
-
Heavy Slam shares typing with Iron Tail and outdamages Earthquake, Steelix’s other STAB charge move.
- Steelix’s offense is bad, and Crunch will only make it worse.
PVE Defensive Moves Explanation
-
Dragon Tail is less likely to be resisted by Steelix’s usual counters.
-
Thunder Fang can hit Water-type attackers for Super Effective damage.
-
Crunch and Heavy Slam are fantastic options, each with multiple bars and relatively early damage windows.
-
Crunch can be used frequently as a 3-bar move and is hard to dodge, but is resisted by common Fighting-type attackers.
-
Heavy Slam is slightly slower as a 2-bar move, but deals more damage with STAB.
- Earthquake is a joke on defense.
PVE Overview
Steelix is tailored to be a defensive behemoth, possessing an enormous Def stat and one of the best defensive types. Steelix is one of the bulkiest defenders there is, being effective at wasting an attacker's time even in disadvantageous matchups. It unfortunately has weaknesses to many common Pokemon types such as Fire, Fighting, and Water. However, it's also a great wall for many other attack types like the ever-present Dragons.
Steelix's ATK is too poor to be considered on offense, although it can serve as a fair anchor in contexts such as Raikou or Zapdos raids. Raising one is not a horrible idea, as Mega Steelix has the advantage of absolutely titanic bulk. It can anchor effective raids like no other and can provide STAB boosts to its team mates for an extremely long time. However, its DPS is substantially lower than other Steel Type Mega Evolutions, such as Mega Metagross.
