As it grows, the stone portions of its body harden to become similar to a diamond, but colored black.
Burrows at high speed in search of food. The tunnels it leaves are used as homes by Digletts.
It twists, and squirms through the ground. The thunderous roar of its tunneling echoes a long way.
It rapidly bores through the ground at 50 mph by squirming, and twisting its massive, rugged body.
As it digs through the ground, it absorbs many hard objects. This is what makes its body so solid.

A Onix cannot learn tutor moves.
Onix basically resembles a giant chain of gray boulders, with a rocky spine on its head. The Pokémon has a magnet in its brain that serves as an internal compass. Onix's body becomes more rounded, and smoother as it grows with age. A fully grown Onix measures at an enormous 28 feet 10 inches, or 8.8 meters.
It tunnels under the ground at over fifty miles per hour. Its hard head, and sturdy body are the only thing that protects Onix from the tremors it causes. If Onix takes a hard enough blow, and its body falls apart, it can regrow the rest in a matter of a few weeks. It shares this trait with Arbok.
They are very hot headed Pokémon, and will constantly attack humans, and Pokémon when various objects are caught in its craggy body. However, domesticated Onix will show signs of distress instead of attacking others.
Onix can be found in mountains, and caves, though they prefer underground tunnels with little light. It can also be found in craggy mountains, and abandoned mines.
Onix eats large boulders.
Onix is most likely based on a combination of a snake, and earthworm.
Onix's name is a corruption of "onyx," a mineral.
