I think the Steel Type Pokemon are the coolest type of Pokemon in the whole history of the Pokemon series. They are also very strong.
These steel-type Pokemon can’t be hurt by a lot of different types of Pokemon, so you have to have them on your team. These Pokemon are crazy powerful and have a great balance between attack and defense.
And yes, they all have their own weaknesses, like not doing well against Fire, Fighting, or Ground type Pokemon.
But that doesn’t mean they aren’t cool, so let’s take a look at the 18 best steel-type Pokemon on your team.
