Steelix Pokémon cards at a glance

What this group is. 34 cards share the Pokédex number Steelix. The Pokédex number ties every print of the same Pokémon together, whatever the set is called and whatever extra words the card name carries. Grouping by the number keeps prints of one Pokémon in one place instead of scattering them by name.
What they cost. The typical card is $8.29. Across the 31 priced cards the range runs $0.20 to $471.66.
Where it stands. No. 85 of 206 Pokémon by typical price, with 121 of them cheaper.
What the cards are like. They average 160 HP and 112 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Fire.
What is listed below. Every one of the 34 cards that carries a price, each with its own price page. The other 3 are counted in the total but have no published price, so they are not listed.

Which Steelix cards share a name across several printings?

29 of the 34 cards listed above are reprints of just 4 names. Buying by name alone is how people end up with the wrong printing, because these share a name but not a set, a rarity or a price.

What Steelix Pokémon cards are made of, and which of them hold the value

The group price says what an ordinary Steelix card costs. These break the group down by card kind, rarity, printing, each row beside its own typical price, so you can tell a cheap card from a dear one before you look it up.

The words printed after the name split Steelix cards into kinds, and each kind plays by different rules.

How much HP and damage Steelix Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Steelix card prints the same number or they run from one end of the scale to the other. These five points show which of the two is happening.

HP	90	110	170	188	250	34

Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.

Can you still play Steelix Pokémon cards, and what do they cost to retreat?

Price is only half of what separates this group from the one next to it. These are the conditions you meet when you actually put a Steelix card on the table, across all 34 of them.

The card shown is Shining Steelix. It is Neo Destiny #112, Rare Shining. This group holds 34 Pokémon cards on file.Printed in 2002

Cards with an Ability	4	11.8%

Standard and Expanded are the two tournament formats. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year while the card itself does not change.

Each track is the whole of the 34 Steelix cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.

The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.

Which Steelix Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group line is made of single cards, and they do not all move together. These are the two ends of that spread over the last twelve months.

Counted on the 19 cards that carried a price on both the first and the last reading, so a card that only appeared recently is not in here.

The cheapest Steelix Pokémon cards you can buy

Every list on this page so far has run from the top down. This one runs from the bottom, because the first question of anyone starting a Steelix collection is what it costs to get in.

The 6 cheapest Steelix cards on file

Cheapest first. Each card opens its own price page. Prices exclude shipping, which on a card at this level is usually more than the card.

These six together cost $2.23, against $471.66 for the single dearest Steelix card. The two ends of the same group sit 2,358× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Steelix".

How Steelix compares with the other Pokémon

A price on its own says nothing until you know what the group next to it costs. This is where Steelix sits among the 206 Pokémon on file.

"Which Pokémon is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.

Ranked by its single dearest card, Steelix is number 53 of 206 Pokémon, on Neo Destiny #112 at $471.66. By card count it is number 73, and by the price of an ordinary card number 85 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".

Steelix Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Steelix Pokémon cards are there?

There are 34 Steelix cards in this archive, and 31 of them carry a price. The Pokédex number ties every print of the same Pokémon together, whatever the set is called and whatever extra words the card name carries. Grouping by the number keeps prints of one Pokémon in one place instead of scattering them by name.

How much is a Steelix Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $8.29. Across the 31 priced cards the range runs from $0.20 to $471.66, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Steelix Pokémon card?

Shining Steelix 112 from Neo Destiny, at $471.66. It is 57× the typical price of the group.

Are Steelix Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 85 of 206 Pokémon, with 121 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 34 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.2%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Steelix Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 31 of the 34 carry a price on file. The rest have never been listed at a price this archive could read, so they are counted in the card total but left out of every price figure rather than guessed at.

Where can I see every Steelix Pokémon card?

The list on this page holds the 34 most expensive of them, dearest first, and each card opens its own price page. The remaining 0 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are Steelix Pokémon card prices updated?

Prices are read once a day from public marketplace listings. The figures on this page were read on August 14, 2026. Which cards belong to this group comes from openly published card files and changes only when a new set is added.

Are Steelix Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Steelix card rose from $6.79 to $8.29, a change of +22.1%. That is the middle of the whole group, so it describes an ordinary card of this kind rather than the headline one at the top.

How much does a cheap Steelix Pokémon card cost?

One in four Steelix cards costs $0.97 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.20. Three in four cost $35.53 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Steelix Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Ultra is the dearest kind of Steelix card: 3 of them are on file and the middle one costs $18.41. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Steelix Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Steelix cards is 250, and the lowest is 90. The typical one is 170 HP, with half of them between 110 and 188 — figures counted from the 34 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Steelix Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

6 of the 34 Steelix cards are legal in Standard today and 20 in Expanded — 17.6% and 58.8% of the group. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year even though the cards do not change.

What are Steelix Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fire — 32 of the 34 Steelix cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Grass next at 2 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old Steelix Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among Steelix cards the 2003 printings sit at a typical $64.69 and the 2019 ones at $1.28, while the dearest year of all is 2003 at $64.69. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Steelix Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Steelix 87 from HS—Unleashed, which went from $25.46 to $123.97 — a change of +386.9% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 19 Steelix cards that carried a price on both days.

Before you rely on these figures

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Steelix cards, taken from a daily snapshot of public marketplace listings read on August 14, 2026. They are not offers, they exclude shipping, duty and marketplace fees, and they move. Counts cover only the English cards this site holds on file. Graded prices, population counts, sealed product values and pack odds are not published on this site because no free commercial source provides them.
