Onix (Japanese: イワーク Iwark) is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Steelix when traded holding a Metal Coat.

Biology

Onix is a Pokémon composed of a giant chain of gray boulders that become smaller towards the tail. Its length makes it the tallest Rock-type Pokémon. It has black eyes and a rounded snout. On top of its head is a rocky spine. As it grows older, it becomes more rounded and smoother, eventually becoming similar to black diamonds. Inside its brain is a magnet that serves as an internal compass, guiding Onix wherever they need to go and prevents them from getting lost while digging.

Onix tunnels under the ground at over 50 miles (80 kilometers) per hour, which causes tremors and a terrifying roar that echoes a long way. Hard objects encountered while tunneling are absorbed into its body, which makes it very sturdy. It also consumes the boulders for food. The massive, winding tunnels it leaves behind are used as homes by Diglett. As seen in the Pokémon Stadium series, Onix is capable of rotating its head, or any part of its body, in a full 360 degrees. It is a very aggressive Pokémon that will constantly attack humans and other Pokémon when in pain, as seen in the anime. It is said that an Onix that lives for about 100 years will evolve into a Steelix after its composition becomes more diamond-like. It can be found in mountains and caves.

Major appearances

Brock's Onix

Starting in Showdown in Pewter City, Brock used an Onix in his journeys in Kanto and Johto before giving it to his little brother Forrest, for him to train in A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!. At some point before Grating Spaces, it evolved into a Steelix.

Bruno's Onix

In To Master the Onixpected, Ash and his friends encountered a giant Onix. It was on a rampage until Bruno managed to pull a Sandslash out from two of its boulders. Bruno captured the Onix afterwards.

Crystal Onix

The Crystal Onix featured a special Onix whose body is made out of glass crystal. Ash and his friends helped a glass sculptor named Mateo search for it because Mateo believed it would help inspire him to be better at his craft.

Other

In Pokémon - I Choose You!, an Onix was the next Pokémon a Trainer chose after the opponent's Gengar put their Nidorino to sleep.

In Hello, Pummelo!, Drake used an Onix in the second round in the Orange League championship match against Ash. It battled Squirtle and was defeated.

In Tunnel Vision, multiple Onix were living in Onix Tunnel. They attacked anyone who attempted to pass through it. They were temporarily put to sleep by Jigglypuff's singing, but were eventually awakened by Team Rocket.

In Fight for the Light, Janina coated her Onix in wax for protection against Water attacks.

An Onix, dubbed "King Onix", appeared in Hooked on Onix. Team Rocket tricked King Onix into thinking Ash and his friends were going to destroy his kingdom. When Ash managed to convince King Onix that he and his friends weren't bad by defeating it in a battle, Team Rocket tried to steal the royal Rock Snake Pokémon, but their plan was foiled, as usual.

In Shapes of Things to Come, Roark used an Onix during his Gym battle against Paul. It went up against his Elekid before being defeated by Chimchar. In A Gruff Act to Follow!, it battled Ash and defeated his Turtwig and Pikachu. In O'er the Rampardos we Watched!, during Ash's rematch with Roark, Pikachu was able to defeat Onix.

In A Maze-ing Race!, an Onix rampaged around until it was forced to retreat.

In Expedition to Onix Island!, multiple Onix, including a Shiny one, lived on a deserted island. Ash and his friends went there to see the Shiny Onix.

In Breaking Titles at the Chateau!, Grant used an Onix at the Battle Chateau in a battle against Viola's Surskit, which Onix won. In Climbing the Walls!, Onix battled Froakie during a Gym battle against Ash and was defeated.

In Caring for a Mystery!, an Onix battled a wild Riolu after it accidentally climbed up on it. Ash later showed up with his Pikachu and helped save Riolu from Onix. After that, Ash and Riolu battled Onix until it fled.

Minor appearances

An Onix appeared in a fantasy in Dig Those Diglett!.

In Mewtwo Strikes Back and Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, a Trainer's Alakazam was defeated by Mewtwo while it was serving Giovanni.

Trivia

  • Onix is the only unevolved Pokémon that is used in the Pokémon World Tournament by Trainers beyond the right attendant, being used in all of Brock's teams.
  • The Onix line is the only multi-stage evolutionary family which can be completely acquired with in-game trades. However, this is only possible in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, in which the player can trade Bellsprout for Onix in Violet City, and any Pokémon for Steelix in Olivine City.
  • The Lagging Tail held item resembles the end of Onix's tail.
  • Among all unevolved Pokémon, Onix:
    • has the highest Defense stat.
    • is the heaviest.
    • is the tallest.
  • Onix is the only Gigantic Pokémon that can evolve.

Origin

Onix's design may be a visual pun on a rock python or an earthworm. Its great size could have been inspired by the Mongolian death worm, an earthworm-like creature noted for its colossal length (compared to regular worms) of up to 7 feet.

Name origin

Onix is likely a corruption of onyx (a mineral).

Iwark may be a combination of 岩 iwa (rock) and スネーク snake.
