Omanyte 52/62 · Fossil

Fossil is a set in the Base series. It was released on 10 October 1999. The printed size is 62, and the checklist is the same length. Omanyte is 52/62, in position 52 of 62 on this checklist. Before it is 51 Krabby, and after it is 53 Psyduck. The listed rarity is Common.

Omanyte is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 40 HP. The card lists level 19. In the Pokédex this is Omanyte (#138), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Mysterious Fossil. The card lists Omastar, Omastar (#139) under evolves to.

Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The same name is on 656 other cards in the catalog.

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 2001 to 2023. The earliest other card is Omanyte 60/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 40 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Yuka Morii illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Omanyte list a different HP.

Clairvoyance is listed as Pokémon Power. Your opponent plays with his or her hand face up. This power stops working while Omanyte is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Water Gun lists 10+ damage. The cost is Water. Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Water Energy attached to Omanyte but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 20 damage in this way. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Although long extinct, in rare cases, it can be genetically resurrected from fossils."

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