# Omastar #26/100 — Majestic Dawn

## Summary

Omastar is a Kanto fossil Pokémon, and the Helix Fossil lineage has a devoted following from the days of Red and Blue. As a mid-tier Rare in Majestic Dawn, it was never a chase pull, and its Primal Swirl Poké-Power was a disruptive gimmick for Stage 2 bench decks. The modelled guide sits at $3.76 with 1 copy traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
