Strategy & play
How Omanyte plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is Ability-based draw/search. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Inflicts Paralysis — the Defending Pokémon can’t attack or retreat for a turn. A reliable one-turn lock; chain it to stall the opponent out.
- Needs Water Energy to attack — note its own type is Fighting, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
- Fighting type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥25 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Mysterious Fossil; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
How to beat Omanyte
- Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥25 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

About this card
"Revived from an ancient fossil, this Pokémon uses air stored in its shell to sink and rise in water."
Pokémon Power: Revive Fossil
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, search your deck for a card that evolves from Mysterious Fossil and put it onto your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterward. Treat that card as a Basic Pokémon. This power can't be used if Omanyte is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed (or if your Bench is full).
WBind — 10
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
Weakness:G×2
Retreat cost:C

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Omanyte is real?
Omanyte is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
