Provenance

Where it came from

The Omanyte card, numbered 70/99, was released in the Arceus expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in late 2009. This set was notable for centering on the Mythical Pokémon Arceus and featuring a unique sub-set of cards designed to showcase the diverse forms of that legendary creature. As a common card, this Omanyte was intended to bolster the playable range of the set, offering players a standard evolution stage for the Fossil Pokémon within the water-type lineup.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the TCG known for a clean, approachable aesthetic that balances creature personality with functional game design. Saitou’s depiction of Omanyte captures the prehistoric aesthetic consistent with the character's origins while adhering to the standard card layout of the HeartGold & SoulSilver era. Upon its release, the Arceus set was recognized by players for its variety and the thematic integration of its titular Pokémon, though this specific common card served primarily as a fundamental piece for casual play and set completion.
