Onix • Generation III Pokédex

Scarlet/Violet support is in the works!

Thank you for your interest in having the Marriland Pokédex updated to support Pokémon Scarlet & Violet! This has been something that I've been wanting to update for awhile, and it is my current project to implement support for the new games and The Teal Mask DLC. Thank you for your patience as I work on this over the coming week or two!

Onix's Moves

Below is a list of all of the moves that Onix can learn, along with what level it learns the move, the TM or TR number, and what egg moves it can learn, if any. Hover over a move (desktop/laptop) or click the ? button next to the move (mobile/tablet) to find out more about the move.

Onix's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Onix's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Onix's Nature.

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Onix is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.

Pokédex Entries for Onix

Generation 3 Pokédex Entries

Ruby Sapphire
ONIX has a magnet in its brain. It acts as a compass so that this POKéMON does not lose direction while it is tunneling. As it grows older, its body becomes increasingly rounder and smoother.
Emerald
There is a magnet in its brain that prevents an ONIX from losing direction while tunneling. As it grows older, its body becomes steadily rounder and smoother.
FireRed
It usually lives underground. It searches for food while boring its way through the ground at 50 miles per hour.
LeafGreen
As it grows, the stone portions of its body harden to become similar to black-colored diamonds.

Generation 2 Pokédex Entries

Gold
It twists and squirms through the ground. The thunderous roar of its tunneling echoes a long way.
Silver
It rapidly bores through the ground at 50 mph by squirming and twisting its mas­sive, rugged body.
Crystal
As it digs through the ground, it absorbs many hard objects. This is what makes its body so solid.

Generation 1 Pokédex Entries

Red Blue
As it grows, the stone portions of its body harden to become similar to a diamond, but colored black.
Yellow
Burrows at high speed in search of food. The tunnels it leaves are used as homes by DIGLETTs.
