Why the HELL does Steelix float ?He did it in stadium 2 so l guess in xd & colo to .
steelix is ground ,so he proberly can not swim ,and he is steel ,that is pretty heavy and it is save to say he would drown .

and float or fly ?Steelix ?l do not have to say much about that ....

So why does he float ?

Two questions:

1. Why do alot of Pokémon float?
2. Is there a reason behindyou addressing this question to women?

 

[shadowofdreams]

another question: why the heck did you post three threads of this?

 

[Mysticalman Luigi]

l meant not ladies ,lt was a mistake ....

and my computer is slow .

and l am a noob .

 

[shadowofdreams]

why the heck do you address us as ladies? i'm a GUY!

 

[Exxthus]

and l am a noob .

Obviously.

As far as I can tell, it was either easier for the animators to do that for the game, or perhaps it has some ability to manipulate magnetism that just doesn't come into play whilst battling. In fact, if you read the old Dex entries for Onix, it says that it has an organic magnetic compass built into its head so it always knows what direction its digging in.

why the heck do you address us as ladies? i'm a GUY!

Then why'd you answer?

 

[Mysticalman Luigi]

l did it address it to ladies and gentle man ,but my computer was a bit slow and messed it up ....

l only want elite to post in here !

Its called MAGNITES! Steelix is like a magnite, if you have seen what magnites can do then you should know this. Magnites when attracted to each other they can make things float. Now that your question is answered, let this thread be closed.

you mean magnets?isnt that how they make big pokemon in the games?

 

[bLASTOIse_MAsTer]

Just because it's made of steel doesn't mean it's a magnet . It's not like the ground throughout Orre is metal right?

Magnemite, magneton, beldum, metang and metagross float on a magnetic field they generate. It's their way of moving. Kind of like the suspensor fields in Star Trek. This really exists in the real world. Experiments are already underway for magnetic leverage (Maglev) vehicle launch and monorails and bullet trains use this technology.
