Steelix · Mega Evolution, what to know.
About the Steelix card
Numbered 93 of 188 in Mega Evolution, released in September 2025, Steelix is a Rare, a Stage 1 Metal-type carrying 200 HP.
It evolves from Onix, so Steelix is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Steelix worth?
Steelix is a non-holo Rare. In Mega Evolution, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Steelix trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Steelix before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Non-holo Rares like Steelix are easier on surface but no kinder on centering. These cards were less protected than the holos, so high-grade Steelix survivors can be scarcer than expected, with edge whitening the usual cap.
If you are collecting Steelix
For Steelix, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Steelix rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
