Dark Omanyte sits at 37/105 in Neo Destiny, position 37 of 113. Before it is 36 Dark Haunter, and after it is 38 Dark Pupitar. The set belongs to the Neo series. It was released on February 28, 2002. The printed size is 105. This checklist is longer, at 113 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Water Cannon lists no damage number. The cost is Water. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 10 damage for each Water Energy card attached to Dark Omanyte. Don't apply Weakness and Resistance. You can't do more than 30 damage in this way. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "This ancient Pokémon possessed 10 tentacles, which it used to swim through the ocean."

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 is named Omanyte, while this one is Dark Omanyte. Both list 40 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Omanyte list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Tomokazu Komiya. I count 248 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Neo Destiny set binder is where a full Neo Destiny 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 Team Rocket cards, Fossil Pokémon, and Tomokazu Komiya cards. I still need this card.
