For some time now, the game has been introducing additional Mega Evolution Pokemon, and now Mega Steelix has arrived; this means you’ll need to know the Pokemon’s vulnerabilities and counters so that you can take it down.
As an extension of Onix, Steelix was initially presented in the second generation of games, back in Gold and Silver. Mega Steelix was added to Steelix’s line of evolutions after the advent of Mega Evolutions.
Pokemon GO’s five-star raids will begin on Wednesday, December 1 at 10:00 am local time and end on Thursday, December 23 at 10:00 am local time, with Mega Steelix making its debut. This is the beginning of the Season of Heritage event, which will last for the next four months on the game’s main menu screen.

Every Mega Steelix Weakness In Pokemon GO
There are a plethora of Pokemon that can deal with Mega Steelix, thanks to the fact that it is vulnerable to 4 distinct move types. In the following paragraphs, we’ll discuss several very useful Pokemon that are best used in the Mega Evolution or Shadow Form.
As an alternative in battle, holding a fire-type such as Charizard or Moltres or Entei or Ho-Oh is useful. Blastoise, Swampert, and Gyarados are all solid alternatives for Water-type moves.
Lucario, Hariyama, and Conkelduur are all fighting-type Pokemon that you can summon. Finally, ground-types like Landorus Therian Form and Groudon are of little utility outside of these two instances.
