Omanyte (Japanese: オムナイト Omnite) is a Rock/Water-type Pokémon.

In the anime
Ash first encountered Omanyte in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon along with all the other Generation I fossil Pokémon. A dynamite blast woke up the fossil Pokémon living deep beneath Grandpa Canyon. They chased Ash and Team Rocket around until an Aerodactyl showed up and scared them off.
Omanyte and its evolved form, Omastar, were discovered to be living in the Ruins of Alph and moved to a museum in Fossil Fools.
