These are your ONLY fully evolved Steel types.

>Mega
>Klinklank
How does this make you feel? Why is Steel such a rare monotype?
>B-but Flying
That sucks too, but Normal/Flying is for some reason the norm.

because steel is an incredibly good defensive type which counters fairies.

It's a bit difficult to make a living creature that can only be described with "Steel" and nothing else, given that while not necessitated you'd expect a pure Steel type to be something purely made of Steel. Don't really mind it though, it makes the few instances stand out more in their adversity.

its pokemon, though. its not that hard to make pure steel types
steelix could easily be pure steel if onix didnt exist and people wouldnt question it. make sandslash grey and call it a pure steel type and it works. call magearna pure steel and it works. mawile used to be pure steel and no one really questioned it. they could easily make pure steel types

Good point, but when Mawile was Aggron wasn't, so it balances out.

>>35949212
Before there was Fairy types there were still only three.

>>35949276
You could say that about plenty of 'mons. In fact plenty of Steel types have a secondary type that makes less sense from their design.

Not really. Look at bisharp and it's impossible to not say it's steel.
Something like bronzong or magearna could easily be pure steel type.

The most metallic Pokémon tend to get a secondary supernatural typing. i.e. Metagross, Bronzong, Aegislash, Klefki, and Magearna.

Which are usually slapped on. While I love them all, nothing about any of the ones you listed are inherently part of the design.

I've just realized - Ice type includes both creatures literally made of ice and "organic" creatures who simply have powers over cold and snow. But Rock type only includes creatures made of rock, and Steel type only creatures made of some sort of metal (or at least covered in some sort of armor). There are no monsters who simply manipulate rock or metal without being made of it. Why is that?

That's kind of what they did to Bronzong. You can't particularly with it as a secondary typing. I don't actually know what makes primarily psychic types look psychic personally

People still question it's status as a steel type to this day though.

Fuck. I wrote a whole autistic post and it deleted itself. Fuck.

Cradily and Jirachi don’t look made of rock/steel (but I didn’t watch the anime). Ice is easy to generate out of thin air or water, while rock/steel seem more rigid and difficult to generate. That was the gist of it.

A mono-Steel Pokemon doesn't need to be literally made out of Steel. Just like a mono-Water Pokemon doesn't need to be literally made out of Water, or a mono-Ice made literally out of Ice.

Mawile was a good example before her type change.

Yes that's literally what he said. Steel types don't have to be steel with a face, just like water types aren't just water

Metagross I agree could easily be pure Steel. Its supernatural capabilities feel fairly grounded for a robot.
Design-wise Magearna definitely looks pure Steel, but it has that whole Soul-Heart lore.
