Collector Insights

Omanyte is a Water-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. Its attacks include "Collect," which costs a single Water energy to draw three cards, and "Tickle," requiring two Colorless energies to deal 20 damage and potentially paralyze the defending Pokémon. The card lacks resistances and is weak to Grass-type attacks, which deal an additional 20 damage. Designed by artist Aya Kusube, Omanyte’s flavor text references its origin as a fossil-resurrected creature that once swam in ancient seas. It belongs to the Platinum series, released as part of the Arceus set in November 2009, and is classified as a Common rarity. The card’s converted retreat cost is one, aligning with its single Colorless energy requirement. No additional abilities or rules are listed for this variant.
