Steelix is a Stage 1 Pokémon, evolved from a Basic form. Stage 1 Pokémon offer a significant power spike over their Basic counterparts and are crucial mid-game attackers.

With 190 HP, Steelix boasts impressive survivability on the board, making it a formidable tank in sustained battles.

With a market value of $5.52, Steelix represents an accessible mid-range card from the Celestial Storm set.

Cards from popular sets with iconic Pokémon tend to appreciate 15-30% annually once the set goes out of print. Monitor price trends and consider grading valuable copies for maximum resale value.
