Steel-Type was introduced in the second generation of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon, taking place in the Johto region in the games Crystal, Silver, and Gold. Competitive players know it as the type with the best defensive abilities. That is because, at one point, 10 types were not very effective and Poison-Type is has absolutely no effect! After the X and Y games, it lost its resistance to Ghost and Dark-Types. Still, though, its a pretty powerful type!
However, what about just their designs alone🐬? Some are more creative, cute, and interesting than ot🔥hers. Here is our rank of ten most interesting/attraction Steel-Type designs.
10 Alolan San💎dslash
Alolan Sandslash is a type variant that was introduced in the Sun and Moon games. It is the only Steel and Ice-Type combination to date, which is pret💛ty cool.
Its design is based off a lot of the same elements as its original typing, which includes a porcupine, hedgehog, and those scaly anteaters called pangolin. H🉐owever, it does have spikes instead of scales. The fact that its also Ice-Type reminds us of icicles.
9 Scizor
Scizor is Bug and Steel-Type. Bugs-Types are not typical player favorites since they have a lot ♎of weaknesses, but Scizor is an ♕exception due to both its cool design and Steel-Typing.
It has the same characteristics as flying red ants and manꩵtises. In that light, its has not had some of the same mystical and creative inspirations as 🅰others. However, it is on this list anyway due to its popularity.
8 Aggron
Part Steel and part Rock-Type, Aggron looks li𝓰ke the last Pokémon you'd ever want ꦆto be attacked by. It is monstrous looking, and that is why it has a lot of fans.
Like otꦑher Pokémon, Aggron was obviously inspired by various creatures that already existed either in real🌼ity or in folklore. There are theories that its design is loosely inspired by an old Chinese and Korean monster called Bulgasari.
7 Mawile
In terms of design, Mawile is pretty bizarre. However, if you know a lot about yokai . . . then its design actually makes perfect sense. Yokai are basically Japanese monsters, and Mawile is based on Futakuchi-onna. Futakuchi-onna is a woman with a mouth hidde🍬n in the back of her head.
Folklorists that theories that the yokai came to be due to the bel🐟ief that women eat very little, so they must have a secondღ mouth that secretly consumes food.
6 Solgaleo
Solgaleo is a legendary that was introduced in the Sun and Moon games. It is based on the many artworks and parallels of lions and the sun. This is a cross-cultural symbol, probably because lions are bright🌠ly colored and their manes remind artists o𓆉f the rays of a sun.
The legendary Pokémon of the Alola region all had pretty popular designs. Solgaleo was the symbol of the Sun game. When you are on the cove🌼r of a game, you g🌌ot to have a good design and Solgaleo delivered on that front. Who doesn't want a space lion on their team?
5 Lucario
Lucario was introduced in the Diamond and Pearl games. It is Fighting and Steel-Type, and is one of the most popular Pokémon in terms of competitive play. However, fans also love it for its dog-like design. Its loosely based on the Egyptian Anubis, which is a god with the head of an African golden wolf who judges the souls of the dead. Thi♑s inspiration also connects to the fact that Lucario can see a life♐form's aura.
Besides Anubis, it is believed that Lucario is based loosely on boxers and martꦑial artists. That would make sense since they are part Fighting-Type!
4 Aegislash
This popular is Ghost ꦺand Steel-Type. It has a pretty creative idea behind it too, a sword and shield that are possessed by some form of ghost or spirit. It is literally a living weapon. It can🍒 fight on its own, but it would be pretty amazing for an actual person to wield them!
According to its Pokédex entries, Aegislash can sense its owners' potential. In that way, it was likely inspired by famous weapons like Excalibur and Du☂renda🐲l. It's the perfect Pokémon for those that love European legends with knights and kings. Besides its amazing design, it is a very strong Pokémon for competitive play.
3 Jirachi
It is too easy to fo🌄rget that this little cute legendary is actually part Steel-Type. It is both Steel and Psychic-Type actually. Next to Celebi, it is one of the most adorable legendary Pokémon that exist.
The sweet design is based on various legends and ideas. First of all, Jirachi gran൲ts wishes. So it is loosely based on the design of a star. Its humanoid appearance may also 𓆉be a reference to jinn/Genies. The tags on its head appear to be Tanabata, which is a reference to the Japanese Star Festivals. So there is a lot of different cultures behind Jirachi's design!
2 Magearna
This Fairy and Steel-Type legendary is quite loved for its steampunk-inspired design. It is more than just a steampunk style though, as a lot of ideas are behin🔯d its look.
Its shape and way of moving is a lot like a Karakuri puppet, which is a traditional Japanese automata/doll. It also has ears that resemble a rabbit, which is quite endearing. The rabbit ears and yellow crescent design on its body may be inspired by the Japanese moon rabbit legends. Other par🍸ts of its design are like a nursemaid, as the gear around its head looks like a headdress and the colors of its dress-like body resembles an apron.
1 ❀ Corviknight
This recent addition to the Steel-Type family has a design that players fell in love with. Obviously, it has been inspired♛ by birds such as a raven and crow. What makes that special though is that those are birds commonly found in Great Britain, which the region of Galar is based on. It could also be inspired by the famous Ravens that live in the Tower of London.
What꧑ makes this design such a success though is the combination of the raven and the idea of the "black knight" characters from old Euro𒅌pean legends. Combining those two motifs has made for an amazing design!
