Description

---

Introduced in Generation II along with the Dark type to balance the Psychic type and Normal type, the Steel type was made for Pokémon defensively. It was also made for its many resistances as pure Steel types had 10 resistances and Electric/Steel types had 11 resistances along with a Poison type immunity for both matchups.

Steel type Pokémon stand out for having great defense against both physical and special attacks, and a large number of resistances. However, some Steel types are capable of going on the offensive on either the physical or special spectrum. Nonetheless, Steel type Pokémon are heavy and thus have low Speed.
