A1_11 Can an Onix evolve into a Steelix?

Abstract

We review the method of the evolution of the Pokémon “Onix” into the Pokémon “Steelix” as stated by the existing games created by Nintendo, by modelling the transformation of carbon into diamond. We discuss two models: the first model being under high pressure converting a standard Onix into a Steelix, and the second where the Onix accretes mass and compresses to the correct size. Both models are found not to give the parameters specified in the games.
