Omanyte is considered extinct, although it can be revived from [[Fossil]]s. Its fossils have been excavated in areas that were once {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|oceans}} long ago. Omanyte regulated its buoyancy by storing and releasing air within its shell and controlled direction by twisting its tentacles. While Omanyte fed on {{wp|plankton}}, it was preyed on by {{p|Archeops}} and {{p|Carracosta}}. Omantye can now be found in the wild due to being released by people or escaping after being restored to life, causing this species to become a problem. | Omanyte is considered extinct, although it can be revived from [[Fossil]]s.
