Strategy & play

How Steelix V plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
  • Its main attack (Iron Tackle) needs 5 Energy — a turn-5 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Hits for 210 — one-shots most single-prize attackers and many ex, but not 300+ HP walls.
  • Needs Metal Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Metal type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥125 effectively one-shots it.
  • A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.

How to beat Steelix V

  • Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥125 damage one-shots it.
  • Trap it Active — 4 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
  • It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Steelix V is real?

Steelix V is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
