Revision as of 04:45, 29 July 2015
The Steel type (はがねタイプ Hagane taipu in Japanese) is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types.
It was introduced in Generation II, along with the Dark type, to balance the other types. It was added to the typing of two Pokémon, Magnemite and Magneton, which were only Electric-type.
Steel-type Pokémon stand out for having the best defense. They tend to be heavy and thus have low Speed. Steel-types are mainly inorganic in nature, some of them representing robots and machines.
Along with the Rock and Ground types, Steel represents part of the Earth's minerals as types.
Famous Steel-type Pokémon Trainers include Jasmine, the sixth Johto Gym Leader; Steven Stone, the Hoenn Champion; Byron, the sixth Gym Leader of Sinnoh; and Wikstrom, a member of the Kalos Pokémon League. Also, Colress, who is part of the new Team Plasma, uses Pokémon of this type as well.

Relations with other types
- They're strong against the Fairy type because in Europen mythology, fairies lose their power with metals, also, they are burnt when touching them.
- They're strong against the Ice and Rock types because steel with its hardness can break them easily.
- They're weak against the Fighting type because if given hard blows, the steel can bend or break due to its low elasticity.
- They're weak against the Fire type because steel is a conductor of heat and it can be melted with high temperatures.
- They're weak against the Ground type because earthquakes destroy metal buildings.
- They resist the Bug type because bugs and insects don't have enough force to make any physical change to metals.
- They resist the Dragon type because in medieval legends, knights used steel armors to take on dragons to resist their attacks and be able to kill them.
- They resist the Normal type because most Normal-type moves are Physical, and not so powerful as those of the Fighting type, and steel hard enough to resist those kind of attacks.
- They resist the Psychic type because, since steel lacks life and it's an inorganic material, mind-controlled powers can't hurt them much. Something curious is that Kadabra and Alakazam bend metal spoons with their mind.
- Until Generation V, they resisted the Dark and Ghost types because machines don't feel fear, since they don't have emotions or feelings, but, from Generation VI onward, they don't resist these types anymore, probably because not Steel-type Pokémon are machines, also, all of them have feelings, they could have fear at one point.
- They're immune to the Poison type because poison doesn't affect things that are not organic.
- The Electric type resists them because it is an electricity conductor and their magnetism can repel their attacks.
- The Water type resists them because water oxidizes most metals.
