Omanyte's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Omanyte PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

The Spiral Pokémon, Omanyte, is a dual Rock- and Water-type, but being a base form evolution means it makes no impact against Raid bosses. Omanyte lacks a Rock-type fast move, which immediately rules it out as a viable Rock-type attacker. On the Water-type side, it faces heavy competition from an overcrowded type, filled with many powerful Pokémon. Both Rock and Water have much better options for an optimal raiding experience.

🛡️ Gyms

Strangely for a Rock-type, Omanyte has higher Attack than Defense, but more importantly, it has a low Stamina stat. Additionally, it is weak to both Fighting and Ground-type attacks, which are some of the most common offensive types used in Gyms. This makes Omanyte a poor Gym defender, unlikely to last long enough to earn Pokécoins.

Omanyte PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 Little Cup

Ranking extremely low in all Little League formats, Omanyte will likely never see the battlefield unless a miraculous meta shift happens. It suffers major losses against Jumpluff and even Fletchling, showing how much it suffers from not having a Rock-type fast move. It only manages to pick up wins against Diggersby and Skorupi, but even those are not dominant victories.

The optimal moveset is Mud Shot, Ancient Power, and Brine, but requires an Elite TM—given the poor return on investment, we strongly advise against it.

🔵 Great League

Omanyte performs slightly better in Great League, but the resources needed are hardly worth it. It requires XL Candy to reach a viable CP and an Elite TM for its optimal moveset: Mud Shot, Rock Blast, and the legacy move Rock Tomb.

While this moveset allows it to counter Talonflame, it struggles heavily against Pokémon like Clodsire and Primeape.

🟡 Ultra League

With a max CP of 1746, Omanyte is simply not a feasible option for Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

Not a viable battler.
