Omanyte (Japanese: オムナイト Omnite) is a dual-type Rock/Water Fossil Pokémon.
It is resurrected from a Helix Fossil and evolves into Omastar starting at level 40.
Biology
Physiology
Omanyte has a large, pale yellow shell on its back. Its main body is sky blue with ten tentacles, two of which are longer than the other eight. Omanyte has saucer-like eyes. It uses the many gas-filled chambers in its helix shell to remain buoyant in the water column. It regulates its buoyancy by evacuating gases from compartments. Its shell turns into the Fossil that is used to resurrect it.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Omanyte learns several Water-based moves and a small handful of Rock-type moves.
Behavior
Omanyte swims by twisting its ten tentacles about. If attacked by an enemy, it withdraws itself inside its hard shell.
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
- Main article: Pokémon food
Unlike its evolved form, Omastar, this Pokémon feeds on plankton in the wild.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Omanyte was originally known as "Ess". This is derived from the beginning of the word "escargot", which is French for snail.
- Omanyte is one of five Kanto Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in Generation IV. Its former base experience is 120. The others are Abra, Machop, Geodude and Kabuto.
- In Generation I, Omanyte was able to learn Spike Cannon, despite lacking any visible spikes to use the move.
Origin
It is based on the ammonite.
Name origin
Omanyte is a phonetic anagram of ammonite, the creature on which it is based.
Omnite is a combination of オウムガイ ōmugai (nautilus) and ammonite.
