The Shining Steelix card captures a moment of this formidable Pokémon coiling through a rocky landscape, its metallic body glistening under an unseen light. The scene conveys a sense of both power and mystery, as Steelix appears ready to strike while surrounded by jagged rocks and a swirling mist. Its expression hints at a playful yet intimidating demeanor, embodying the duality of its nature. This snapshot invites the viewer to ponder the depths of its underground domain.
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage to each Benched Pokémon (yours and your opponent's). (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) If tails, this attack does nothing. Either way, Shining Steelix can't attack during your next turn.
