Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| LegendsArceus | This Pokémon evolved through use of a strange item. Its body is coated with steel powder and notably hard—not even diamond can leave so much as a scratch. |
| Gold | Its body has been compressed deep under the ground. As a result, it is even harder than a diamond. |
| Silver | It is said that if an ONIX lives for over 100 years, its composition changes to become diamond-like. |
| Crystal | The many small metal particles that cover this POKéMON’s body reflect bright light well. |
| Diamond | Tempered underground under high pressure and heat, its body is harder than any metal. |
| Pearl | It chews its way through boulders with its sturdy jaws. Its eyes can see in the darkness underground. |
| Platinum | It is thought its body transformed as a result of iron accumulating internally from swallowing soil. |
| Heartgold | Its body has been compressed deep under the ground. As a result, it is even harder than a diamond. |
| Soulsilver | It’s said that if an ONIX lives for 100 years, its composition becomes diamondlike as it evolves into a STEELIX. |
| Black2 | The iron it ingested with the soil it swallowed transformed its body and made it harder than diamonds. |
| White2 | The iron it ingested with the soil it swallowed transformed its body and made it harder than diamonds. |
| X | Tempered underground under high pressure and heat, its body is harder than any metal. |
| Y | It chews its way through boulders with its sturdy jaws. Its eyes can see in the darkness underground. |
