Omastar (Japanese: オムスター Omstar) is a dual-type Rock/Water Fossil Pokémon.
It evolves from Omanyte starting at level 40, after it is revived from a Helix Fossil.
Biology
Physiology
Omastar has a heavy, pale yellow, helix shell dotted with spikes. It has a sky blue body with ten tentacles, four of which are longer than the other six. Omastar has a squid-like beak and eyes with vertical-line pupils.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Most of Omastar's abilities are the same as Omanyte's, only stronger. Omastar can now learn how to use Stone Edge. Like most fully-evolved Pokémon, it can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.
Behavior
Omastar, unlike Kabutops, is far more defensive. While Kabutops prefers to slice prey apart or swim after them, Omastar does not. Omastar has a high Special Attack suggesting that it prefers waiting for prey to come near it so it can attack. It is not as fierce as Kabutops and probably does not move as much either, preferring to stay rooted to a spot, waiting.
Habitat
The exact habitat of Omastar is unknown, but so far Helix Fossils are only found in the Kanto and Sinnoh regions, though some are also found on Unova's Twist Mountain.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Pokédex information indicates that Omastar would eat Shellder in the wild by cracking open their shells with sharp fangs and sucking out the insides.
In the anime
Major appearances
Omastar first appeared in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon, alongside all the other Generation I Fossil Pokémon. They were sleeping under Grampa Canyon until a dynamite blast woke them up. The Water/Rock-type Fossil Pokémon chased Ash Ketchum and Team Rocket until Aerodactyl showed up and scared them off.
Omastar also appeared in Fossil Fools, alongside its pre-evolved form Omanyte. These Pokémon were discovered to be living in the Ruins of Alph, but they moved into a museum.
Minor appearances
An Omastar appeared in Team Rocket's fantasy in Imitation Confrontation.
Dr. Yung uses a Mirage Omastar in The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon.
An Omastar appeared in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew living in the Tree of Beginning. Also, one appeared in the opening of the movie.
An Omastar appeared in Dealing With Defensive Types!.

Generation I
|
|
Red
|
A prehistoric Pokémon that died out when its heavy shell made it impossible to catch prey.
|
Blue
|
Yellow
|
Sharp beaks ring its mouth. Its shell was too big for it to move freely, so it became extinct.

|
Silver
|
Once wrapped around its prey, it never lets go. It eats the prey by tearing at it with sharp fangs.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Omastar was originally known as "Kargo". This is derived from "escargot", which is the French word for snail.
- Omastar has the highest Special Attack stat of any Rock type or non-legendary Water-type Pokémon.
- Omastar is the only Fossil Pokémon that has been given a reason for extinction; its shell was too heavy for it to move, thus it starved to extinction.
- This may also be a reference to the giant orthocone, ancestor to the modern octopus. The orthocone resembled an octopus but it had a long pointed shell that was slow and cumbersome.
Origin
It seems to be based on a type of ammonite.
Name origin
Omastar's name is a combination of a phonetic anagram of ammonite and star (based on its body shape).
Omstar is a combination of オウムガイ ōmugai (nautilus) and star.
