Collector Insights

Omanyte is a Water-type Pokémon with 40 HP. It features a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy and a converted retreat cost of one. The card includes a single attack named Water Gun, which costs one Water Energy and deals 10 damage plus 10 additional damage for each Water Energy attached to Omanyte but not used to power the attack, up to a maximum of 20 extra damage. Omanyte has a Grass-type weakness that multiplies damage by two. Its ability, Clairvoyance, allows the opponent to play with their hand face up, though this effect ceases if Omanyte is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The card is part of the Base series, released in October 1999, and is numbered 52 in the Fossil set. Designed by artist Kagemaru Himeno, it carries a theme of ancient resurrection, as its flavor text notes that Omanyte can be genetically revived from fossils. This Common rarity card emphasizes its role in early Pokémon TCG strategies.

Although long extinct, in rare cases, it can be genetically resurrected from fossils.
