5 facts about this card
Steelix was introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver as Onix’s Steel-type evolution, and in the games it evolves only when Onix is traded while holding a Metal Coat, giving this Illustration Rare a direct link to one of Johto’s most iconic evolution methods.
Steelix made its main anime debut as Jasmine’s signature partner in the Johto episode "Nerves of Steelix!," which helped cement the Pokémon’s image as a powerhouse Gym Leader ace.
Steelix #208 is an Illustration Rare from Scarlet & Violet—Paradox Rift, a set officially released on November 3, 2023, and The Pokémon Company highlighted Paradox Rift for featuring a large lineup of Illustration Rare Pokémon that made the expansion especially appealing to art collectors.
Paradox Rift was officially promoted as a set where timelines collide and included both Ancient and Future Pokémon, so a classic species like Steelix appearing as an Illustration Rare gives the card a striking 'old titan in a time-warped world' kind of collector appeal.
This card’s artwork is credited to nisimono, and the full-art Illustration Rare treatment lets the artist sell Steelix’s massive underground presence in a way standard card frames rarely can.
