>heatran (steelix definitely. thought it can't switch in one a fire type move and offensive sets roast it)>Jirachi? (both handle it pretty well, but steelix better)>Booboo keys (steelix kills it hands down. I have no idea what magenezone does it it)>magenzone (steelix kills it)>metagross (steelix kills it)>scizor (fire fang and hp fire let both kill it. But magenzone doesn't have to take a possible hit)>skarm (walls steelix but loses to magenzone really badly)>ferrothorn (magenzone is slighty better because its guaranteed to 2ko)>mega steelix (I mean I guess mega steelix? But also not really?)>bisharp (hands down steelix)>excadrill (steelix, but steelix takes 60% from an eq so can find it hard to actually do its job here)>mega aggron (Neither, aggron OKHOs magenzone with EQ if he has it but steelix and mega aggron just both kind of awkwardly takes hit from each other)>emploeon (magnezoe wins hands down)>doublade (steelix most likely)>forretress (meganezone, but not by a lot)>lucario (steelix)>cobaliion (steelix. but steelix takes a shit load of damage. I might even die to close combat with no defense investment)What steelix beats untimately boils to what set you're using. If you're going max attack it finds itself losing to certain pokemon that can hit it hard before it gets a chance to do anything. However with no attack investment to struggles really hard against more defensive threats. Steelix would also get bodied by specially defensive threats if you're going max attack.
Overall I'd still argue magnzeone is better because it does more outside of its job and doesn't waste a mega slot. but they're both surprisingly solid pokemon.
