Steelix in Polished Crystal

Steel / Ground — where to catch it, what it learns, and how it differs from the official games.

Compared with the official games

Stats Attack 85 → 90 (total 510 → 515)
Abilities gains Sand Force and loses Rock Head

Compared against present-day official data. The Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived after Pokémon Crystal, so a difference here can belong to the series rather than to this hack.
