Pokémon Origins
A Helix Fossil briefly appeared in File 2: Cubone, where it was shown being hogged by a Super Nerd at Mt. Moon.
In the TCG
- Main article: Helix Fossil (Majestic Dawn 91)
The Helix Fossil was introduced as a Trainer card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game in the Majestic Dawn expansion, first released in the Japanese Moonlit Pursuit expansion. Although it is a Trainer card, it is played as if it were a Colorless-type Basic Pokémon, meaning the player's opponent takes a Prize card when it is Knocked Out. However, Helix Fossil can't be affected by any Special Conditions, can't retreat, and the player may choose to discard it at any time during their turn. When the player attaches a Water Energy from their hand to the Helix Fossil, they get to search their deck for an Omanyte that evolves from a Helix Fossil and put it on top of it. Afterwards, the player shuffles their deck.
During the XY Series, the Fates Collide expansion included the Item card Helix Fossil Omanyte. It allows players to look at the bottom seven cards of their deck, reveal an Omanyte they find there, and put it onto their Bench. The other six cards are then shuffled back into the deck. The Scarlet & Violet Series saw the release of Antique Helix Fossil in the 151 expansion. This card is similar to the original Helix Fossil, as it is played as a Basic Pokémon, evolves into Omanyte, can't retreat, is not affected by Special Conditions, and may be discarded at any time during the player's turn. In addition, it blocks the opponent from playing any Stadium cards from their hand, as long as Antique Helix Fossil is in the Active Spot.
Helix Fossils are also featured on the Mysterious Fossil, Buried Fossil, and Unidentified Fossil cards. All of these cards are played as if they were Basic Pokémon and can evolve into Omanyte.
Trivia
- In the first Pokémon Red and Blue run of Twitch Plays Pokémon, the chaotic control scheme resulted in the player constantly using the Helix Fossil. This lead to jokes that the game's protagonist was constantly consulting it for advice. This resulted in memes that the player worshiped the Helix Fossil and fans referred to Omanyte as "Lord Helix".
- In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when the language is set to French, before battle Brawly says, "J'ai découvert le secret de la vraie puissance en fixant un Nautile pendant des jours et des jours...", referencing the aforementioned meme.
