Lore

Why it matters

The Omastar from the Team Up expansion is prized for its "Fossil Bind" ability, which restricts the opponent’s ability to play Item cards from their hand. This tactical utility, paired with its holographic treatment, makes it a notable staple for players who enjoy disruptive playstyles in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Its heavy shell is thought to be the reason this ancient Pokémon died out. It's apparently a distant ancestor of Octillery.

Provenance

Where it came from

Released in early 2019 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Sun & Moon—Team Up expansion, the Omastar card (76/181) represents a continuation of the Fossil Pokémon's thematic focus on ancient resurrection. The Team Up set was notable for introducing TAG TEAM Pokémon-GX, which shifted the competitive landscape by rewarding players for coordinating powerful duos, though Omastar served as a tactical disruption tool rather than a centerpiece attacker.

The card features artwork by illustrators who often lean into the prehistoric, aquatic aesthetic of the Helix Fossil Pokémon. In the competitive meta, this specific iteration was recognized for its 'Fossil Bind' ability, a classic control mechanic designed to restrict the opponent's access to their Item cards, reflecting the creature's lore as a predatory ancient shell-dweller that traps its prey.
