How to Get Omanyte in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have taken the world by storm, combining faithful remakes of the 2006 Pokémon installments with intriguing new features. Players have been hurrying to catch all of the Pokemon available, and some require more exploration than others. Omanyte is one of these Pokémon, and his guide article will show you how to catch Omanyte in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl: Unlocking the National Dex

First and foremost, you must receive the national dex before you may obtain Omanyte. This is owing to the fact that Omanyte cannot be found in nature and must instead be obtained through the usage of a Fossil. You must encounter every Pokemon in the Sinnoh region in order to obtain the National Dex. It should be highlighted, however, that you only need to watch them, not catch them all around the world. This is in addition to the fact that you don’t need both versions of the game to encounter all of the Pokemon.

Keep an eye on your Pokedex while you go through the process of encountering all of the Pokemon. When you’ve finished with this mission, rush to ‘Sandgem Town’ to Professor Rowan’s lab. Once inside, speak with Professor Oak, who will offer you the National Dex enhancement at the conclusion of the conversation. Now that you’ve received the National Dex, you can start looking for Omanyte around the world.

Omanyte in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl: How to Get It

Now that you have the National Dex, it’s time to start looking for the Pokemon Omanyte. This Pokemon can only be obtained at the Oreburgh Mining Museum by extracting/’restoring’ the Helix Fossil. To obtain the Helix Fossil, you must first enter the Grand Underground, which can be accessed by following the instructions outlined in this article.

Once you’ve reached the Grand Underground, start exploring and digging up any fossils or valuables you come across, which will glow and flash as golden VFX in-game and be marked with a diamond on the minimap. When you engage with the treasure area with your trainer, a digging minigame will begin for you to play, and you will be able to gather fossils in this way.

Continue exploring the Grand Underground’s extensive ecology and interacting with any treasure/digging sites you come across until you find the Helix Fossil. Head to the Oreburgh Mining Museum if you’ve successfully found and collected it. You’ll find a scientist at the museum’s main desk; chat with them and you’ll be able to restore the fossil. After you’ve restored the Helix Fossil, you’ll be handed Omanyte to add to your Pokemon collection, and since you enjoy hunting for Pokemon and other goods, you might as well go for the ‘Dark Pulse TM’ to learn a new move.
