Why is Gamefreak so incapable of making Steelix viable? Why is everyone's favorite worm monster always lagging behind its spiritual brother, Scizor?

>its spiritual brother, Scizor
u wot

mega-steelix isn't horrible, it's just not a great mega
no, it's not an amazing threat in ou/ubers or whatever, but it's fine in VGC and lower tiers

i love how people shit on their favorites harder than anything, maybe it's because you want them to be an overpowered sweeper (see: megamence)?

The design would be great if it didn't have that terrible awful shovel jaw.

The way you phrased that question makes it sound like you don't want an answer.

This thing is evil in the lower tiers and people say it's not viable.

Design-wise, it's definitely grown on me
>the metal coat is chipping off, probably from being in sandstorms constantly, exposing crystals and geodes underneath the armor
>the armorless areas that exposed geodes are nearly the same shade of grey as Onix
>the way Steelix is able to spin any part of its body in 360 derees can turn its jaw from an excavator and shovel into a drill
>the armor that has chipped off is orbiting around it, which references how its one of the most massive pokemon in terms of both weight and length
>Steelix has been shown to float in the air using magnetism, and the geodes resemble some futuristic propulsion system out of a sci-fi movie

You don't count that if Salamence is already set up and in the game
+1 252 Atk Mega Salamence Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Steelix: 170-200 (48 - 56.4%) -- 89.1% chance to 2HKO

Rocky Helmet Garchomp is still 2KO'd and does even less damage, missing the 2KO anyway.

I thought the bayformers were shit too,I just really liked the design of Driller.

Don't even get me started on how Bay fucked him and Shockwave with their lame deaths.

Yeah, he is cool, giant metal snake, what is not to love, Onix was great too, they both need to be improved, maybe another evo for Steelix and a mega for Onix or a split evo
