Its body, composed of incredibly hard, compressed earth and minerals, is tougher than any metal, allowing it to burrow through solid rock at high speeds. Steelix is typically found deep underground, where it carves out vast tunnel networks. Its diet consists primarily of rocks and minerals, which it grinds down within its powerful jaws.
