All 65 Steel-Type Pokémon

About Steel-type Pokémon

Steel is the best defensive type in the game. It resists or is immune to 11 of the 18 types, far more than any other, and has the second-highest average base stat total and weight. It arrived in Generation 2 with Dark. It used to be even tougher: until Generation 6, Steel also resisted Ghost and Dark moves. Only 15% of Steel types are pure Steel, and the type is immune to Poison moves.

The generator above draws only from Pokémon with Steel as one of their types, dual types included.
