Pokémon Power ⇢ Clairvoyance
Your opponent plays with his or her hand face up. This power stops working while Omanyte is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
{W} → Water Gun : 10+
Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each {W} 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.

Although long extinct, in rare cases, it can be genetically resurrected from fossils.

I think this card was overlooked because of it’s low HP. Having your opponent play with their hand face up is definitely nothing to scoff at.

I would think most useless filler would beat this. 40 HP and evolves from Mysterious Fossil… yikes. You’d be lucky if it hits the field for more than 1 turn. Even then, it wouldn’t have much of an impact.

Yes, but most(not all, some were Gen III/IV cards) of the filler Pokemon were also cards who are HGSS-on in a format with Pokemon Catcher, so they don’t really have it much better XD.
This might be useful in a Trainer denial deck actually; see what your opponent has, if they have Trainers worth, discarding, Lass is devastating.

Was this ever played competitively? It seems like a decent tech for any deck.
Ziggmiceter
It was in the same format as Gust of Wind.
Otaku
Commenting over a half a decade late – because that’s when I saw this question – remember that this is a Stage 1 card, not a Basic. At the time, it could only enter play by Evolving from Mysterious Fossil… which may not have given up a Prize when KO’d but still only had 10 HP. XP In a format where the only “first turn” rule was that neither player could manually Evolve his or her Pokémon on his or her first turn.
Now factor in Gust of Wind, like Ziggmiceter said… as well as Computer Search, Item Finder, PlusPower, Professor Oak, and probably a few other cards that would matter right when this first released. Oh yeah, Muk (Fossil) was in this set as well!

What’s with Water Gun’s description? Couldn’t you get 30+10 attack for it with 4 Water Energies?
Otaku
No, you couldn’t, as per the attack’s effect text.
One [W] pays for the attack.
Two [W] each qualify for +10 damage, totaling +20 damage.
The fourth and final [W] does nothing.

This card goes for $9,999.
The Hawth
That’s the highest price listed for it. The middle price is $0.34, the median price people on TCGPlayer are selling it for, which is a lot closer to its actual value.
