I’ve got a 100% IV Steelix powered up to level 34. With the adventure week research tasks, I’ve gotten a lot of Onix candy and 93% Onix, 15-13-14. Thoughts on if there is really any point in having multiple Steelix, or should I just put my candies toward slowly maxing the 100%?
Honestly, it's not really worth even having one Steelix.
While he makes an adequate gym defender, he's pretty much useless as an attacker. I would just leave things as they are for now; don't invest any more resources in any Onix/Steelix.
Steelix gains a mega evolution later on down the line which may change things, but that's a long way off.
I think it all depends on your resources. If you’re more of a casual player, then you’re probably more limited. Therefore, I’d invest in mons you need for raids and such. But if you’re a hardcore player and have the resources, then I’d vote for just maxing out the 100%-er. It’s a cool defender to put in when the blissey/chansey/snorlax spots are taken. I’d save the 93.3% onix for like a possible community day event in the future or somethin. Just speaking from personal experience 😉
I’m probably somewhere in between casual and hardcore, but I have a pretty solid team for most gym and raid situations by now. I agree with Skywalkered that there are other priorities far before Steelix, but dust isn’t too much of a concern for me and I don’t have the candies to keep going with my top guys right now.
I guess I’ll creep the 100% toward max and hold onto the Onix just in case. I’ll have a mini team of perfect steel mons with Aggron and Metagross. Could be fun for a couple of the Regis when they come.
