Mega SteelixThe Pokémon will not lose HP due to recoil damage from its moves. It still takes recoil from Struggle.
If the Pokémon has full HP and takes damage from a move that would knock it out in one hit, it will endure the hit with 1 HP. The Pokémon is also immune to one-hit KO moves.
The Pokémon’s moves lose their additional effects, but the power of those moves will be boosted by 30%. The Pokémon still takes recoil damage and effects that lower its stats.

HP/Sp.Def-focused EVs, raising special resistance on top of innate physical bulk — Mega Steelix fortress build. Iron Defense + Body Press calculating damage with own Defense combined for offense-defense unified play.
More high-accuracy STAB/subweapons
Fissure repeatable via high bulk is strong, but for stable matches, high-accuracy moves are an option. Stable STAB Earthquake plus, Dragonite-targeting Ice Fang, Charizard-targeting Rock Slide are candidates.
Very high physical bulk for boosts; OHKO moves break otherwise unbreakable walls. Tanking both physical/special, persist in favorable matchups pressuring the whole teamas a role.
Weakness-hitting special attackers
Mega Steelix has average Sp.Def and lacks recovery, so taking weakness specials makes recovery hard. Pair with special walls for cycle play.
