Its Ability

Clairvoyance

Your opponent plays with his or her hand face up. This power stops working while Omanyte is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Its attacks

Water Gun

10+

Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to Omanyte but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 20 damage in this way.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

A strength
Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.
A strength
Water Gun hits for 10 on 1 Energy. Nothing in Fossil hits harder for that price.
A strength
It has an Ability, Clairvoyance. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
None of the 8,067 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
Keep in mind
Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 8,067 tournament lists we have read, 5,067 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
