I always thought the stats of onix were discriminating due to its sheer size and intimidation. I get it's mainly a defensive pokemon as a lot of gen 1 rock types are physical defenders by stats. But come on. Your telling me a giant snake made of rocks doesn't do any damage hardly? That thing could flatten most pokemon by sheer weight 😂. Gen 1 rock stats though make no sense and makes onix a classic fav but not very good completive
sad, that brock's onix will never become a crystal onix cause it already evolved, especially that the next gen would introduce the crystallization thingy mechanic.
Gen 4 had some epic evolutions too, it's too bad they haven't been consistently adding them to the series. I'd love to gain some excuses for Ash's older Pokemon to return beyond small cameos :D
Onix’s poor win streak in the anime reflects how deceptive its appearance in conjunction with its actual competitive use in the games and its improved win streak after gaining its diamond steel overcoat reflects how it actually improved significantly in the games as well. I think you’re amazing narrating skills are rubbing off on me!
I'm not surprised Onix kept getting its butt kicked, Onix has a lower attack stat than Rattata! Still that win against Mantine is a sining moment for Onix and I am proud of him.
Same! One of the things I like about Brock is how proud each of his Pokemon make him. I was just rewatching the Mudkip & Lotad capture episodes, and he comes off as 10X more mature than Ash
MY Fave Moment of Brock’s Steelix was definitely the 1/2 of The Reunion in Kanto when he NOT ONLY Mega Evolved BUT also defeated Kiawe🔥, Showing that though Kiawe is technically Ash’s Strongest Alolan Companion, he’s still got A LOOONG way to go and the fact that though Brock chose the path of a PokeDoctor, he’s still got it! ☄️😎
Definitely very cool! I think I'm going to have to go with its debut. It never seemed so menacing and powerful imo than that battle esp since Ash only won through luck/sprinkers
The scene of him getting onix on his tenth birthday and going up the mountain with him made me love onix as a Pokémon, it was just such a touching moment
With the spinning technique ash used in sinnoh, I feel this originated with ash’s battle against Jasmine in johto, as throughout the battle Jasmine had her steelix spin to use sandstorm to block cyndaquils flamethrower. Although ash uses this against her by turning the sandstorm into a fire tornado, I’d still like to think this served as a basis.
I was surprised when I looked up Onix's base stats and found it had the same Attack stat as Wurmple of all Pokemon since I remembered Brock's Onix as this absurdly powerful juggernaut... watching this has made me realise "Nope, the anime was consistent all along". xD
Brock's Steelix has shown it's potential and proved itself one of the most dependable pokemon of Brock whose worthy of getting attention due to its fighting abilities as seen in Alola region ❤️
All you need to know, is that it was the same onix who got electrocuted by ash's pikachu back in the day. He REALLY had to fight his way up against all odds.
The reason why I like onix/stealix is because how brocks onix inperticulary was relevant to the team of all brocks Pokémon as well as ashes and mistys back in their early days when the series was running ever since the very first season of the Pokémon anime tv series. Good times!!… 😊
I always loved Steelix's smile it looks like a troll face staring down on its opponent when its about to smack them down. Its a cool upgrade for Onix and its always my favorite steel type Pokemon ever. :) I just wish Brock would use it more in the serie.
You all remember that BIG Moment when his Steelix just breaths the Inferno Overdrive away before KOing with Stone Edge. That Breath-Out is my international Sign for Stamina. Maybe you're guessed right. Steelix is one of my closest facourites of all time and was ALWAYS in my First 6 Team in every single Johto run of mine 😍. Just Love for that Iron Snake. Sadly never got it's shiny.
@@ProfessorAlexSilver Me too sir.. ❤❤ Btw it's Ravi from India.. and I like to know more about you.. Can I get your any social media handles.. Insta or facebook?
pictures taken before the disaster like bruh your first gym has a steelix let that settle for a moment their mean whille in sinnoh a trainers quaking in fear cause roark has a rampardoes !
Hahaha then there's Grant the Grand Duke Gym leader of Cyllage City with an Onix that uses Flash Cannon, Rock Tomb,Iron Tail, Rock Polish and can really jump very high 😂
I'm glad Brock's Steelix got some sort of redemption in the Sun and Moon anime, especially since Steelix is one of my most favorite fully evolved Steel types besides Aggron, Scizor, and Magnezone, I even have a Steelix named Diamond who was a powerhouse on my SoulSilver team onced it evolved from Onix
Looks like Scyther is the frontrunner! I'm planning Marill and Venonat as mini-sodes for weeks when I'm busy with work. Gary's Umbreon will also be a fun one to tackle :)
Cool video! Shame you didn't show Onix flinging Tyranitar into the lake in the 4th movie. I would actually count it as a tie, though Suicune helped a lot.
How did I miss this? I actually only realized you uploaded after you liked one of my comments on one of your other videos. TH-cam bell broken. With that said, Onix was one of the anime Pokémon that really should have crushed everything in sight, given it’s size and wrap hax. But idk, much like a lot of Brocks Pokémon, Onix just lacked personality and not a lot to be invested in from a story telling perspective.
Professor Alex Silver Croagunk was alright from what I remember. It had personality, it’s just too bad a lot of it just ended up being LETS GET BROCK AWAY FROM GIRLS. By that point, Brock just became super stale as a character compared to Ash and female companion. The writers didn’t do much with his Pokémon breeder goal, and at the end, just hastily wrap it up by making him a doctor.
Professor Alex Silver Glad it was useful. So, you only sticking to main cast for bios? Ever think of expanding to like say Ash’s rivals or League opponents. I guess those wouldn’t be Pokémon bios, more trainer bios since you don’t have as many episodes to go off of with them. The only rival that’d have that luxury would be Paul, with his team constantly evolving and more OP stuff coming out of left wing.
1:08 well actually, the reason why Pikachu's Thundershock was now effective was because the inside of the gym caught on fire and the sprinklers came on thereby getting Onix wet.
@@ProfessorAlexSilver it is the anime, they aren't limited to the rigidity of game mechanics. It is an excellent example of the more complicated interactions found in the anime. Ground types when soaked head to toe in water lose their immunity to electric type attacks. Water also tends to empower those kinds of attacks so it really just highlights why ground types tend to stay away from large bodies of water.
The Boulder badge win bothered me as a kid but electricity can damage anything if it has enough impact power. So you could say it worked due to the power up storage and direct impact of all the electricity. Though you can also argue that it's technically using science and should be against the rules. It's the same thing with a gun. The bullet does damage but only because of the speed and impact that gets fired.
It's hilarious how onix was beaten by an electric pokemon that it's immune to but beat the water pokemon in a water setting when that's its weakness. Lol the old seasons were bad. Specifically the first.
@@ProfessorAlexSilver I was happy that Misty got a Gyarados period. Aside from the starters, I always perceived water trainers who raised one as a paragon with the ability to handle a great deal of torrential force.

Well, Brock had Steelix in Battle in the Pokemon Arceus Chronicles Movie so that’s another Battle in History of Brock’s Mega Steelix
YOU FORGOT LATIOS A D LATIOS
Onix’s early losses are pretty emblematic of how underwhelming it’s in-game stats are despite his menacing size and appearance
True that ^^
Professor Alex Silver Oddish has a higher attack stat than Onix. Let that sink in haha
@@catskills8553 🤔🤭

But come on. Your telling me a giant snake made of rocks doesn't do any damage hardly? That thing could flatten most pokemon by sheer weight 😂. Gen 1 rock stats though make no sense and makes onix a classic fav but not very good completive
Yeah I'll say this Nosepass and Cranidos both were more interesting rock type gym battles in the later games.
Shame Onix never got more spotlight. I feel like despite it being a giant but being soft and sensitive could've led to a lot of fun situations
If only!
It was a jobber
Unfortunately good storylines weren't the focus
They seriously need to buff that thing. Its Attack Stat should be as high as its DEF stat.
sad, that brock's onix will never become a crystal onix cause it already evolved, especially that the next gen would introduce the crystallization thingy mechanic.
It's a shame there weren't more new evolutions for old Pokémon after Johto. I'd take Steelix over Alolan forms any day.
Gen 4 had some epic evolutions too, it's too bad they haven't been consistently adding them to the series. I'd love to gain some excuses for Ash's older Pokemon to return beyond small cameos :D
We just got some in swsh
Omg it’s CZsWorld! I’m subbed to both of you guys
@@ProfessorAlexSilver oh hey! Do you actually know CZsWorld? Because you two both have very similar styles of videos
@@ProfessorAlexSilver well.... not very similar
I like this guy his smile just feels like he is the type of guy to make everyone’s day
😁😁
I love Brock's Steelix. Took on Mantine like a champ lol. I'm glad he got his Steelix back and incorporated its mega evolution in Sun and Moon.
Same here! Let's hope it returns again in Journeys 😎
Well he, he never lost it. Unlike Ash, Brock stores his pokemon at home and so had his little bro take care of em.
@@DaGo314 I think Ash also keep his pokemons to Oak, check the new sword and shield trailer, Ash's Infernape returned.
Just picture waking up on your 10th birthday to a big rock snake going thru your window smiling at you!
I can only picture it in my nightmares XD
@@ProfessorAlexSilver same
That would of been an “Oh Shit!” Moment for me.
Onix’s poor win streak in the anime reflects how deceptive its appearance in conjunction with its actual competitive use in the games and its improved win streak after gaining its diamond steel overcoat reflects how it actually improved significantly in the games as well. I think you’re amazing narrating skills are rubbing off on me!
Very good points, such strange stats ha
Onix/steelix was always one of my favorite pokemon so I'm happy to see a video about Brocks onix
Great to hear! I"ve always been a big fan of the species as well :D
I really like Onix too
I'm not surprised Onix kept getting its butt kicked, Onix has a lower attack stat than Rattata! Still that win against Mantine is a sining moment for Onix and I am proud of him.
Same! One of the things I like about Brock is how proud each of his Pokemon make him. I was just rewatching the Mudkip & Lotad capture episodes, and he comes off as 10X more mature than Ash
@@ProfessorAlexSilver I mean Brock is 15 compared to Ash's ten, he is meant to fill the more mature mentor role as well
MY Fave Moment of Brock’s Steelix was definitely the 1/2 of The Reunion in Kanto when he NOT ONLY Mega Evolved BUT also defeated Kiawe🔥, Showing that though Kiawe is technically Ash’s Strongest Alolan Companion, he’s still got A LOOONG way to go and the fact that though Brock chose the path of a PokeDoctor, he’s still got it! ☄️😎
Definitely very cool! I think I'm going to have to go with its debut. It never seemed so menacing and powerful imo than that battle esp since Ash only won through luck/sprinkers
Is Steelix Brock's strongest Pokemon??
Probably yes so far I think.
@@user-ny4jw6yq5l its ground tho.
Yea
😍😍😘😘😍😎😊😋😋😘😃
I think Chansey is his strongest
Hapinny be hitting the gym
Also Steelix’s moveset
Dragon Breath
Bind
Dig
Iron Tail
Not bad!
And stone edge
The scene of him getting onix on his tenth birthday and going up the mountain with him made me love onix as a Pokémon, it was just such a touching moment
Very sweet :)
With the spinning technique ash used in sinnoh, I feel this originated with ash’s battle against Jasmine in johto, as throughout the battle Jasmine had her steelix spin to use sandstorm to block cyndaquils flamethrower. Although ash uses this against her by turning the sandstorm into a fire tornado, I’d still like to think this served as a basis.
Definitely possible! I wish he brought back the counter technique more often
I love Onix my favorite first gen Pokémon, I’m glad he got a evolution and mega evolution
I'm glad as well! It's crazy how intimidating Onix looks, but how weak it is in the games. I much prefer the OP anime version XD
I wish Onix was in Ruby and Sapphire before you beat the Elite Four
This video is incredibly well made, can’t wait to watch more
Thank you! Hope you enjoy them all :)
I was surprised when I looked up Onix's base stats and found it had the same Attack stat as Wurmple of all Pokemon since I remembered Brock's Onix as this absurdly powerful juggernaut... watching this has made me realise "Nope, the anime was consistent all along". xD
Haha, wait till you see the video on Happiny/Chansey XD
Can't wait for butterfree!
Hoping I'll get to it in Butterfree! Butterfree is my favorite of Ash's Pokemon
when i saw Steelix in Alola i lost my shit, i was SO HAPPY to see him again, but after watching this i never knew he actually evolved way before that
Yup! All the way back in the Battle Frontier :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver these videos have been so nice to watch. thank you for them!
@@ProfessorAlexSilver A very long time ago lol
Love the videos, Professor! What an awesome channel, your videos are really creative and well done! 👏🏼

Let's hope it shows up in Jounreys :)
Good video dude you deserve more subscribers
Thanks! Growing every week :)
I think Brock actually has been on the most adventures with ash and I think Misty is second
I don't have the #s in front of me, but this sounds correct to me
@@ProfessorAlexSilver misty is the 2nd, but first is your only counting female companions.
Yo Ian from Naruto Explained shouted you out and your videos are lit keep them up!

compliments for the videos and for the three painting in the background.

some new random trainer just started his/her happy journey in Kanto:
First Gym: Sorry Kid but your journey stops here
Also, sorry about vaporizing your Charmander

I always loved Steelix's smile it looks like a troll face staring down on its opponent when its about to smack them down. Its a cool upgrade for Onix and its always my favorite steel type Pokemon ever. :) I just wish Brock would use it more in the serie.
Really entertaining, thanks for the awesome video! Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
AT 1:28 THIS is when i realised Brocks dad did not like to pull out
This guy is that dude on every toothpaste ads. His smile, his teeth and his composure. 5 out of 6 dentists would recommend his yt channel
I suppose I'll have to win over #6 :D
awesome video as always!!!!
Thanks!!
A professor?! Its my first time checking out this channel.
The Donphan that Brock's Onix lost to was Rochelle's Donphan not a wild one. She had 4 Donphans.
Excellent video
Thank you very much! More to come :)
Steelix is my favorite steel type pokémon. I love that it returned briefly in SM
One of my favs too :)
You all remember that BIG Moment when his Steelix just breaths the Inferno Overdrive away before KOing with Stone Edge. That Breath-Out is my international Sign for Stamina.

Same here! I wish it battled more :)
This channel is really underrated, I was surprised when your most popular video only had 900 likes.
Thanks! We'll see what the future holds
Imagine being a new trainer and entering your first gym battle only to face a mega steelix 😂
pictures taken before the disaster like bruh your first gym has a steelix let that settle for a moment their
mean whille in sinnoh a trainers quaking in fear cause roark has a rampardoes !
Hahaha then there's Grant the Grand Duke Gym leader of Cyllage City with an Onix that uses Flash Cannon, Rock Tomb,Iron Tail, Rock Polish and can really jump very high 😂
I already see all of your videos. Great job. I hope to see more. Do ash bayleaf after staryu

I always loved when Brock battled. He had an intensity that Ash never seemed to have
XY Ash is super intense, but I love Brock's battles as well
Well the difference between Brock and Ash is Brock’s a gym leader, Ash isn’t.
Onix has always been my favorite pokemon. Absolutely loved the video!
Glad you enjoyed!
I like his enthusiasm ☺️! We Got ourselves a professor Oak
Thanks!!
This is an Awesome video!!
Thank you! More every week!
Can you look into doing Giovanni's Persian? Persian my favorite Pokemon!
That'd be a fun one! I think it only battled once iirc so it might be better to roll it into a video dedicated entirely to Giovanni.
Your content is really awesome!
I appreciate that!
Love your videos!
Glad you like them! More to come :)
Staryu next week!! Should we start covering Tracey's three Pokemon?? 🤔🤔
That would be cool (: I loved his 3 Pokemon he had
Definitely scyther
Scyther will be cool! How about Gary's Pokémon?
Looks like Scyther is the frontrunner! I'm planning Marill and Venonat as mini-sodes for weeks when I'm busy with work. Gary's Umbreon will also be a fun one to tackle :)

Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy everything :)
You are my fav poketuber now
Thanks Jorge! Love to hear that :D
It's still ridiculously cute how Pokemon logic has a giant rock snake filling a role similar to a birthday or christmas puppy.
Hahah very true
I wish I knew where the mega stones came from
🤔🤔
best professor to know about pokemon in deyail

Thanks!
great episode, I love brock :)
Thanks!
I seriously get a big kick out of Kiawe's reaction to Brock mega evolving Steelix. 😂😂🤣🤣
Wait…. Onix evolved off screen?? What a shame. That is such a wasted opportunity.
Agreed, should've happened in Johto
Dressed up like a professor got my sub lol
Wait till you see the lab in my later videos 😁 thanks!
The episode where Bruno catches the Onix was awesome
Agreed! Wish we could've seen more of him
You really know everything about every Pokémon.
I wish! I do a TON of research before each video :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver well it shows! Great work! I just subscribed!
He evolved Onix somehow. I evolved my baby Onix to Steelix and since then Steelix is not only my ace but my favourite pokémon
According to Eric Stuart, Ivy saw Brock as more of a son than a boyfriend
2:00 What episode was that where Arbok jumps out of that wall?
IIRC it's from the Purr-Fect Hero
I just Caught an Onix on Pokemon go and this video just gave me the perfect nickname
Brock
Johnny Yong Bosch voiced Brock in Pokemon Origins, he autographed my Brock's Onix card
When I first started playing Pokemon I thought Geodude evolved into Onix.
That's understandable haah
How did I miss this? I actually only realized you uploaded after you liked one of my comments on one of your other videos. TH-cam bell broken.
With that said, Onix was one of the anime Pokémon that really should have crushed everything in sight, given it’s size and wrap hax. But idk, much like a lot of Brocks Pokémon, Onix just lacked personality and not a lot to be invested in from a story telling perspective.
Yeah, agreed, I'm looking forward to covering Brock's Croagunk in the future. I need to rewatch Diamond and Pearl before, but Croagunk was a beast
Professor Alex Silver Croagunk was alright from what I remember. It had personality, it’s just too bad a lot of it just ended up being LETS GET BROCK AWAY FROM GIRLS. By that point, Brock just became super stale as a character compared to Ash and female companion. The writers didn’t do much with his Pokémon breeder goal, and at the end, just hastily wrap it up by making him a doctor.
@@FlameAstro Good notes :D I'll keep this in mind.
Professor Alex Silver Glad it was useful. So, you only sticking to main cast for bios? Ever think of expanding to like say Ash’s rivals or League opponents. I guess those wouldn’t be Pokémon bios, more trainer bios since you don’t have as many episodes to go off of with them. The only rival that’d have that luxury would be Paul, with his team constantly evolving and more OP stuff coming out of left wing.
@@FlameAstro I'm planning to cover Gary's Umbreon, Paul's various Pokemon, trainers, gym sagas, leagues, basically anything worthwhile from the anime haha.
It's funny that brock's mother tried to make their gym a water type gym instead of becoming the clyrluan gym leader instead of misty
What’s the background music in the beginning ik it’s from advance generation
From the Intro? That's from the episode itself, "Grating Spaces" in Battle Frontier. Everything else is from Epidemic Sound
1:08 well actually, the reason why Pikachu's Thundershock was now effective was because the inside of the gym caught on fire and the sprinklers came on thereby getting Onix wet.
Yup! But even with the water, electricity shouldn't have been effective by gaming logic
@@ProfessorAlexSilver it is the anime, they aren't limited to the rigidity of game mechanics. It is an excellent example of the more complicated interactions found in the anime.

I rationalize Geodude losing, since it wasn't touching the ground, and couldn't disperse the electricity (even though that's not how it works haha)
Oh yeah
more to come 😊
When I was in 6th grade I used to believe that Onix was the strongest Pokemon ever, such a mark I was. But, eviolite Onix is great for in-game play!!

Same, (Gyarados too!)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver I was happy that Misty got a Gyarados period. Aside from the starters, I always perceived water trainers who raised one as a paragon with the ability to handle a great deal of torrential force.
Since brock has probably got a pretty good rock/steel type team he could of become a rock type E4 member
I could see him as a great E4 member or champ
I will never forget the goofy faces onix made
Onix being a staircase in Kanto is a crime
Ha, it's just being helpful!
Giovanni’s persian would be awesome
That'll be a fun one!
I love steelix another of my favorite Pokémon
I think that Brock’s Steelix was good and it is ironic that his Mega evolved Pokemon is not a Rock type.
Agreed XD
I like how he replays every comment to solve the problem
I try to get to as many as I can, but there are many of them XD
I loved onix when i saw it.. Its what got me into Pokemon somehow
I've always thought that If u had an Onix. You were OP lol
Please do Gyarados next!
Working on it :)
