Hiding in A Cardboard Box is The Best Idea Ever

Towering in at 9.2m, today's Pokemon is the largest serpentine Pokemon in the world...for now. The gijinka is pretty large too:
Pokemon: Steelix
Ability: Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid is an ability that allows the user to generate rust. The rusting effect isn't limited to iron (Although it probably shouldn't be called rusting then...Oxidation); Metal Gear Solid can cause other metals, including generally non-reactive ones such as gold, to oxidize at an almost instantaneous rate. Oxidation generally causes most metals to become more brittle, thus giving the user an advantage when the opponent relies heavily on metal equipment. The user must be in contact with the metal item in order to oxidize it. Note that being stabbed by a rusty piece of metal doesn't always cause tetanus; Tetanus is caused by a bacterium commonly found in soil. Objects left outside to rust are usually more exposed to the soil so they have a larger chance of containing the tetanus bacteria. However, Metal Gear Solid simply speeds up the rusting process without need for exposure to soil, so tetanus is not a major concern. Iron poisoning, on the other hand, is very likely if you get stabbed multiple times by a rusty item. Steelix uses the iron spikes on his back (Part of his outfit) to cause iron poisoning in opponents. He's a bit of a jerk and isn't afraid to intimidate people into submissively following his every order, usually with threats of tetanus (Yes, he already knows that rust does not cause tetanus, but he goes along with it anyway).
