Omanyte 60/75 · Neo Discovery

Omanyte is Pokédex #138, generation 1 (Kanto). Omanyte is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 50 HP. The card lists level 21. The card says it evolves from Mysterious Fossil. The card lists Omastar, Omastar (#139) under evolves to.

Omanyte sits at 60/75 in Neo Discovery, position 60 of 75. Before it is 59 Natu, and after it is 61 Pineco. The set belongs to the Neo series. It was released on June 1, 2001. The printed size is 75, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Common.

Revive Fossil is listed as Pokémon Power. 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). The attack Bind lists 10 damage. The cost is Water. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Revived from an ancient fossil, this Pokémon uses air stored in its shell to sink and rise in water."

Omanyte (#138) has 14 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Omanyte 52/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 50 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Yuka Morii illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Omanyte list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Yuka Morii. I count 204 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Neo Discovery set binder is where a full Neo Discovery set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Omanyte can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Yuka Morii clay cards. I still need this card.
