Prototype name

No kidding? Prototype name was Ess? Sounds like ASS! Agent 448δ | DP | 06:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Maybe, but together with Omastar's prototype name "Kargo", they form a corruption of escargot, a popular French delicacy. Nothing bad about that at all. --Shiningpikablu252 16:58, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I thought

That Omanytes are 7/8 Male and 1/8 Female then why did I get a Female?- unsigned comment from Justine53 (talkcontribs)

Because 1/4 means one out of four. The Dark Fiddler - Smarter than the average bear! 00:39, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Dude, learn some math. It's not even close to impossible to get a female! --DialgaRULES 00:56, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
What Dialga's trying to say, is that the odds are still there to get a female. The only reason you should wonder how you got a female is if it was A male only species. The Dark Fiddler - Smarter than the average bear! 01:00, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
And even if it says 1/8 Female, that doesn't necessarily mean that you'll get exactly one female out of eight. I was working on my starter breeding grounds and once I got 4 females out of 20, and another time I got none. It's probability, it only tells you what you'll probably get. BTW, you guessed right I am a guy. --DialgaRULES 01:06, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Question

Reading the Trivia section I came across this - "Omanyte is one of 5 Kanto Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in Generation III. Its former base experience was ?." The question mark is what confused me, did it not give an experiance yield that is known or did it just not have one before? --011284mm 17:06, 28 December 2009 (UTC) sorry I fogot to sign

It isn't known yet. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 17:07, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Cry

I thought it had the same cry like Machop--K4kirin 02:00, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes it does! I have added this to its trivia section. Some people think it's slightly different, but this is just the Placebo effect.--ShinyPatch (talk) 22:47, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
