Would giving him Shore Up as an egg move make Steelsnake bro decent? Even with the Mega Stone it barely sees use which I think is a shame.

Why sand stream? Steelix gains almost no benefit from it other than not taking chip damage.

It's fine offensively.

It has defensive problems because while it has good physical bulk, because it is weak to the two most common physical types, that bulk means nothing, and it's also weak to fire and water and all special attacks.

It needs something similar to Thick Fat which removes the Ground and Fighting weakness so it can properly tank physical hits.

Quoted By:

On evolution, Steelix gains a 40 points to it's attack stat, going from Onix's 45 to Steelix's 85.

I propose, we swap Onix's attack and speed, making it 70 base attack with 45 speed. But we keep the 40 point improvement upon evolution to steelix, giving steelix now a 110 base attack.

Fucking rock head is such a shitty ability on pokemon that have only double-edge for a recoil move.

Shore up would make it really nice, but Steel types shouldn't be getting easy recovery. Rock is the type that needs recovery to take it out of Steel's shadows.

I kind of get that, but Steelix is one of the few Steels I'd actually give Shore Up too mostly due to being once made of rocks

giving it shore up won't make sense conceptually, its body isnt made of sand.
