The Steelix card (247/236), specifically the Secret Rare Full Art Holo version from the Cosmic Eclipse expansion of the Pokémon TCG, is a premium raw collectible released on November 1, 2019. Featuring full-art illustration by Avec Yoko with a shimmering holofoil finish, this overnumbered Metal-type Stage 1 Pokémon is distinguished by its vibrant color saturation and distinct foil pattern that highlights the artwork's details, setting it apart from the standard Rare Holo (139/236) and Reverse Holo variants.

Mechanically, this card possesses 170 HP and evolves from Onix. Its first attack, Thumping Fall ([2 Colorless], 50× damage), states: "Discard any number of Pokémon with a Retreat Cost of exactly 4 from your hand. This attack does 50 damage for each Pokémon discarded in this way," providing flexible damage scaling based on hand size and specific retreat costs. Its second attack, Iron Tail ([1 Metal + 3 Colorless], 100× damage), states: "Flip a coin until you get tails. This attack does 100 damage for each heads," offering high-variance damage output that can range from 0 to potentially very high damage depending on coin flips. The card has a Fire Weakness of ×2, a Psychic Resistance of -20, and a retreat cost of 4 Colorless energy, with the Pokédex entry noting: "Its body is plated with a metal that is harder than any steel. Its tail is extremely powerful and can flatten mountains."

The Secret Rare Full Art version of Steelix 247/236 is particularly prized by collectors completing the Cosmic Eclipse set, as it represents the premium overnumbered variant. Its ability to provide flexible damage scaling through hand discard while offering high-variance coin-flip damage ensures consistent demand for raw copies in tournament-ready condition, particularly as the Sun & Moon era continues to gain retro collectibility value and the Metal-type archetype remains a defining feature of the format.
