Omanyte (Japanese:オムナイトOmnite) is a dual-typeRock/WaterFossil Pokémon introduced inGeneration I.

It is revived from aHelix Fossil andevolves intoOmastar starting atlevel 40.

Biology

Omanyte and Omastar hiding in their shells

Omanyte is a small extinctcephalopodmolluskPokémon similar to anammonite ornautilus. It has a sky blue body with ten tentacles and a pale yellow, helix-spiraled shell on its back. The shell's rim has two circular indents where Omanyte's large saucer-like eyes protrude. If attacked or threatened, it quickly withdraws into its hard shell.

Omanyte is considered extinct, although it can be revived fromfossils. Its fossils have been excavated in areas that were onceoceans long ago. Omanyte regulated its buoyancy by storing and releasing air within its shell and controlled direction by twisting its tentacles. While Omanyte fed onplankton, it was preyed on byArcheops andCarracosta. Omanyte can now be found in the wild due to being released by people or escaping after being restored to life, causing this species to become a problem.

Evolution

Omanyte evolves intoOmastar.
