Omanyte (Japanese: オムナイト Omnite) is a Rock/Water-type Pokémon.
Biology
Omanyte is a fossil Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be resurrected from a Helix Fossil.
Omanyte uses the many gas filled chambers in their helix shell to remain buoyant in the water column. They regulate their height by evacuating gases from compartments.
Physiology
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Behavior
Habitat
The exact habitat of Omanyte is unknown even though there have been records of Omanyte hiding deep in damp caves, but so far Helix Fossils are only found in the Kanto and Sinnoh regions.
Diet
Unlike its evolved form, Omastar, this Pokémon fed on plankton in the wild.
Main article: Pokémon food
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.
