Onix (Iwake in Japanese) is a rock-type Pokémon. Onix looks like a snake made of mineral segments that are very hard. Onix is Pokémon #95 and is Rock and Ground type. In Pokémon Yellow/Red/Blue, it does not evolve into anything but will grow stronger with experience. In Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal, Onix evolves to Steelix when traded with Metal Coat attached. In the Pokémon cartoon Brock has an Onix that he, Ash and Misty can use to climb like a ladder.
Name origin
Onix comes from the name of the semi-precious gemstone onyx. There is a very slight possibility that its name was misspelled to contain the word "Oni," which is a type of Japanese demon.
