Omastar 19/100 · Sandstorm

Sandstorm is a set in the EX series. It was released on September 18, 2003. The printed size is 100, and the checklist is the same length. Omastar is 19/100, in position 19 of 100 on this checklist. Before it is 18 Kecleon, and after it is 20 Pichu. The listed rarity is Rare.

Omastar is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 110 HP. In the Pokédex this is Omastar (#139), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Omanyte. In this catalog that name is Omanyte (#138).

Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 other cards in the catalog.

Omastar (#139) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Omastar 40/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 13 other cards of Omastar list a different HP.

The attack Pull Down lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. If your opponent has any Evolved Pokémon in play, remove the highest Stage Evolution card from each of them and put those cards back into his or her hand. Hydrocannon is another attack lists 30+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Does 30 damage plus 20 more damage for each Water Energy attached to Omastar but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 40 damage in this way. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

I keep a set binder for Sandstorm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Sandstorm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Omastar can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
