Where it came from
The Steelix card from the Celestial Storm expansion was released in August 2018 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Sun & Moon series. The set was inspired by the atmospheric phenomena of the Hoenn region, drawing thematic inspiration from the legendary Pokémon Rayquaza and the intense weather conditions prevalent in the franchise's lore. The card serves as a metallic-type representative, maintaining the franchise's established mechanical hierarchy where Steelix functions as a defensive powerhouse.
The illustration was crafted by artist Atsushi Furusawa, who has been a consistent contributor to the Pokémon TCG for many years. Furusawa’s aesthetic for this piece emphasizes the industrial and rugged nature of Steelix, utilizing a dynamic pose to showcase the creature's immense scale. Upon its debut, the card was received as a standard Rare Holo, valued by collectors for its polished, reflective foil finish and the distinctive, textured metallic artwork that distinguishes it from non-holo iterations.
