Believed to be extinct, a different form of Omanyte were found in the surrounding waters of Alola. Compared to Omanyte revived from Helix Fossils, Alolan Omanyte have since evolved and adapted over time. Its shell reversed and grew lighter so it could swim faster, allowing it to catch prey easily. Its shell contains an iridescent mineral, which reflects light to attract prey.
