Pokédex Entries¶

Platinum Diamond Pearl Heartgold Soulsilver

It is thought its body transformed as a result of iron accumulating internally from swallowing soil.

Tempered underground under high pressure and heat, its body is harder than any metal.

It chews its way through boulders with its sturdy jaws. Its eyes can see in the darkness underground.

Its body has been compressed deep under the ground. As a result, it is even harder than a diamond.

It’s said that if an ONIX lives for 100 years, its composition becomes diamondlike as it evolves into a STEELIX.
