Onix (イワーク,Iwark) is a creature in thePokémon media franchise.
Origin[edit]
Onix is a Rock/Ground-typePokémon introduced inGeneration I, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #095 as the "Rock Snake Pokémon". It evolves intoSteelix starting fromGeneration II whentraded while holding aMetal Coat. It is notable for beingBrock's signature Pokémon.
Rock Throw is a Rock-type move with 50 base power and 90% accuracy introduced in Generation I. It is the weakest Rock-type move with no special effects, and it can be learned naturally by a variety of Rock-type Pokémon at a low level, including Onix in all games since Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Stat-wise, Onix has the highest Defense stat of all unevolved Pokémon, but its other stats are very poor, particularly its Special Attack and HP.
InSuper Smash Bros.[edit]
Onix makes a cameo appearance inPikachu'scongratulations screen.
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
Onix can be summoned by aPoké Ball, using Rock Throw as its attack. When summoned, Onix leaps to the top of the screen and make boulders fall onto the stage. Onix itself can damage opponents as it rises, dealing 21% damage. The rocks hit opponents for 12% withset knockback.
Onix has a spawn chance of1/12.
Onix's voice clip used in the Japanese and English versions comes from thePokémon anime episodeShowdown in Pewter City.
InSuper Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
Onix does not return as a Poké Ball summon, but does briefly appear in the opening cinematic.
As a stage element[edit]
A large balloon of Onix (in actuality, the 3D model of Onix used inPokémon Stadium, and its sequelPokémon Stadium 2, both forNintendo 64) is one of the many floating platforms that make thePoké Floats stage. It is the second platform balloon to appear, right afterSquirtle, and all matches on this stage have Onix making its appearance as a temporary, lengthy semi-softplatform with noledges to be grabbed. The Onix balloon features rotating body parts, just like a real Onix.

Trivia[edit]
- Rock Throw's functionality inSuper Smash Bros. is nearly identical toWham Bam Rock's "Rock Hail" attack inKirby Super Star, given how both were directed by Masahiro Sakurai.
