Best Steel Type Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

There are many options for powerful Steel-type Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Legendary Pokémon will not be counted in assessing which Steel-type Pokémon is best because, while having the highest stats, legendaries are not always easily accessible to players who need a Steel-type attacker. The newly introduced regional variant Hisuian Goodra is by far the best Steel-type Pokémon in the game and has some impressive stats.

Hisuian Goodra

Hisuian Goodra is one of the best Pokémon in the game. It has four stats over 100, making it a reliable attacker and defender. It also has a great dual-typing with Dragon and Steel giving it few weaknesses and a long list of resistances.

Hisuian Goodra's Stats and Strengths/Weaknesses

• Type: Dragon and Steel
• Stat Total: 600
  • HP: 80
  • Attack: 100
  • Special Attack: 110
  • Defense: 100
