Brave Steelix

STEELGROUNDRARE

Brave Steelix shows up in the level 150 hunt and averages 275 of loot and 13,508 XP per kill.

Is Brave Steelix worth hunting?

Among the 53 Pokémon in the level 150 hunt, Brave Steelix drops the most loot per kill.

Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.

58% of all loot comes from a single item: Onix Tail. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.

The rare drop worth waiting for is Metal Stone (50,000 at the NPC), at 0.14% chance — on average one every 725 kills.

For XP it ranks 34 of 53 at this level — 13,508 per kill.

Drop chance, count and NPC price for every item. Expected value already accounts for the chance and the average count.
