Omanyte
Say it: OMA-ny-te
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Omanyte is the Spiral Pokémon — Rock and Water before Omastar. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Omastar — not a finished raid attacker. Rock/Water hits Fire, Flying, and Ice well; Grass and Electric (and Fighting/Ground) punish it. Revive from Fossils, eggs, or events, then evolve. Rock Throw from Omanyte Community Day belongs on Omastar.
