Burrows at high speed in search of food. The tunnels it leaves are used as homes by Diglett.

Y

It usually lives underground. It searches for food while boring its way through the ground at 50 miles per hour.

Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire

Onix has a magnet in its brain. It acts as a compass so that this Pokémon does not lose direction while it is tunneling. As it grows older, its body becomes increasingly rounder and smoother.
