'''Omanyte''' is a fossil Pokémon introduced in the first generation Pokémon games.

=Information=

Omanyte is a prehistoric Pokémon that has been extinct and resembles a type of snail creature. Despite being extinct, contemporary technology has allowed an Omanyte to be revived from a Helix Fossil. Living primarily in the sea, they had ten tentacles which they used to swim, and also used the air stored in their shells to rise and sink in the water. At signs of an attack, an Omanyte withdraws itself within its shell.

At Level 40, Omanyte evolves into [[Omastar]].
