Onix's backstory includes its origins as a Pokémon that inhabits mountainous and cavernous regions. Its unique biology allows it to dig extensive tunnels underground, moving at speeds of up to 50 miles (80 kilometers) per hour. The tunnels created by Onix are often used as homes by other Pokémon, such as Diglett. Onix's evolutionary journey concludes after about 100 years, at which point its body becomes more diamond-like, and it evolves into Steelix.
In the Pokémon world, Onix plays a significant role as a formidable and aggressive Pokémon. It is known for causing tremors and roaring loudly while tunneling, which can be heard from great distances. Onix has been featured in various media, including the Pokémon anime and manga, where it is depicted as a powerful and often challenging Pokémon for trainers to battle. Notably, Onix is used by Brock, a prominent Pokémon Gym Leader, and appears in the Pokémon World Tournament.
Onix's characteristics and abilities include its incredible physical strength and durability. It absorbs hard objects while tunneling, which enhances its sturdiness. Onix has black eyes, a rounded snout, and a rocky spine on its head, which aids in its navigation. The magnet inside its brain serves as an internal compass, preventing it from getting lost. Onix's body segments can rotate 360 degrees, and it can consume boulders for sustenance. Despite its aggressive nature, Onix is known to be a deep sleeper, protected by its robust body.
