Omastar is a Rock/Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Type: Rock / Water

Abilities:

• Swift Swim: Doubles Omastar's Speed stat during rain.
• Shell Armor: Protects Omastar from critical hits.
• Weak Armor (Hidden Ability): Boosts Speed by two stages and lowers Defense by one stage when hit by a physical move.

Physical Characteristics:

• Its shell is blue with a series of spikes lining the edge.
• It has a light beige, squid-like body with multiple appendages that protrude from its shell.
• Omastar's head has two large, protruding eyes and a beak-like mouth.

Behavior and Habitat:

• Omastar is believed to have lived in ancient seas, residing in deep oceanic waters.
• It used its strong tentacles to ensnare prey, typically smaller sea creatures, crushing them with its powerful beak.
• Fossil evidence suggests it was a formidable predator during its time.

In Battle:

• Omastar is known for its high Defense and Special Attack stats, making it a strong defensive and special attacking Pokémon.
• It can use moves like Hydro Pump and Ancient Power to leverage its dual-type advantages.
• Often utilized in rain teams due to its Swift Swim ability, which boosts its speed in rainy conditions.
• Notable moves include Surf, Ice Beam, and Shell Smash, the latter of which increases its offensive capabilities at the cost of some defenses.
• Strong against Fire, Flying, Ice, and Bug types but weak to Electric, Fighting, Grass, and Ground types.

Evolution:

• Omanyte is revived from the Helix Fossil, which is often found in areas resembling ancient seabeds.

Interesting Facts:

• Omastar is thought to be extinct, known primarily through fossils.
• It shares similarities with modern-day nautiluses but is equipped with a more aggressive predatory arsenal.
• Omastar's design is inspired by ammonites, extinct marine mollusks with spiral shells, which inhabited the seas millions of years ago.
