07Why Collectors Want It
- A reverse-holo Omanyte from Legendary Collection (2002); the reverse parallel is the value driver, not the common base.
- Verified at ~$99 raw (PriceCharting, May 2026); the reverse parallel is the value driver.
- Reverse-holos of commons have tiny high-grade populations, fueling the premium.
- Reverse-holo surfaces scratch easily, so gem-mint copies are rare.
08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Stage 1 Omanyte with 40 HP; top attack around 10 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Ability: Clairvoyance
Your opponent plays with his or her hand face up. This power stops working while Omanyte is affected by a Special Condition.
Water Gun
Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Water 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.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: Reverse-holo verified ~$99 raw (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).
Reverse-holo surfaces scratch and whiten readily, and few were graded, so the gem-mint population is small.
Other graders: PSA leads resale on reverse-holo sleepers; BGS and CGC copies trade beneath an equivalent PSA 10.
