Steelix has an enormous physical defense, a good type immunity and poor speed. A very physical wall, perhaps the best in RU. Well, this set tries to take advantage from its natural weaknesses. The best scenario for it is in a
Trick Room. While combo Rest/Chesto Berry is to keep Steelix alive as long as possible, GyroBall and Earthquake are standard choices, even more effective after Curse. After boosting Def and expecially Atk (without forgetting the "gain" from smaller Spd) Steelix becomes really dangerous for the opposing team.
