Collector Insights

Omastar is a Pokémon card from the Advent of Arceus set, released on July 8, 2009. It is numbered 23 and classified as a Rare card, with artwork by Hajime Kusajima. The card features a HP value of 120 and includes two distinct attacks. The first attack, Time Spiral, requires two Colorless Energy and allows the player to target an opponent’s Evolved Pokémon, removing the highest Stage Evolution card from that Pokémon and shuffling it into their deck. The second attack, Primal Tentacles, uses one Water and one Colorless Energy to deal 30 damage plus an additional 10 damage for each Helix Fossil, Dome Fossil, and Old Amber in the player’s discard pile. These abilities emphasize strategic resource management and disruption of the opponent’s evolution options. The card’s design aligns with its thematic focus on ancient marine creatures and fossil-based mechanics. It remains a notable inclusion in competitive play due to its unique interactions with fossil cards and deck-building strategies.
