Omastar

Spiral Pokémon

RockWater

OMASTAR uses its tentacles to capture its prey. It is believed to have become extinct because its shell grew too large and heavy, causing its movements to become too slow and ponderous.

Strategy Overview

Its access to Spikes is great, and it has solid Special Attack and Defense stats as well. However, thanks to its only average offenses and plethora of weaknesses, it is hard-pressed to switch in safely. Its main switch-in opportunities will come against Choice Band users, but the likes of Skarmory, Regirock, and even Rhydon make for better counters to Choice Band Pokemon.
