Its Ability

Rare Metal

All basic Energy cards attached to Steelix provide Metal Energy instead of their usual types.

Its attacks

Squeeze

20+

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage plus 10 more damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

Metal Tail

Before doing damage, you may flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 80 damage. If tails, this attack does nothing.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

A strength
100 HP. Only 5 cards in Skyridge carry more.
A strength
It has an Ability, Rare Metal. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
Retreat cost 4. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.
Keep in mind
None of the 4,426 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
Keep in mind
Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,426 tournament lists we have read, 993 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
