Omanyte 180/165

Omanyte comes from the 151 set, a Scarlet and Violet era release built around the original Kanto Pokemon. This printing is numbered 180/165, sitting above the set total of 165, which places it in the secret rare range carried by the set's illustration rares.

The Illustration Rare tag marks one of the most popular rarity styles of the era. Illustration rares show the Pokemon in a full artwork scene that fills the card, usually set in a natural environment that fits the Pokemon. The 151 set was designed for fans of the original Kanto lineup, so its illustration rares pair nostalgic Pokemon with fresh original artwork, which made them a strong draw on release.

Omanyte, the fossil Pokemon from the first generation, gets a characterful scene in this version that stands apart from its standard printing. It suits collectors completing a 151 illustration rare run as well as fans of the classic Kanto Pokemon and the fossil line.
