Provenance

Where it came from

The Steelix card was released in 2000 as part of the Neo Genesis expansion, which served as the inaugural set for the second generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set introduced the Metal and Darkness energy types to the game mechanics, providing a strategic shift in competitive play. Steelix, as one of the featured heavy-hitters, was chosen to showcase the durability and defensive capabilities associated with the newly introduced Metal type.

The card features artwork by Ken Sugimori, the primary designer for the Pokémon franchise. His illustration captures the imposing, segmented nature of the creature, emphasizing its rigid, serpentine form. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its 'Tail Crush' attack and high hit point count, establishing it as a cornerstone of early metal-archetype decks during the Neo era.
