Omastar 76/181 · Team Up

Omastar is Pokédex #139, generation 1 (Kanto). Omastar is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 130 HP. The card says it evolves from Omanyte. In this catalog that name is Omanyte (#138).

Omastar sits at 76/181 in Team Up, position 76 of 198. Before it is 75 Omanyte, and after it is 77 Kabuto. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on February 1, 2019. The printed size is 181. This checklist is longer, at 198 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Fossil Bind is listed as Ability. As long as you have fewer Pokémon in play than your opponent, they can't play any Item cards from their hand. The attack Bite lists 60 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Its heavy shell is thought to be the reason this ancient Pokémon died out. It's apparently a distant ancestor of Octillery."

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 130 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and kirisAki illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 16 other cards of Omastar list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kirisAki. I count 189 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Up set binder is where a full Team Up set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Omastar can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
