Omastar has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Attack is its highest stat (207), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Omastar deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy and Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Omastar in Pokemon GO?
Omastar's best moveset is Rock Throw (fast) with Hydro Pump (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Omastar's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Omastar takes super effective damage from Grass, Electric, Fighting, Ground-type moves. It is double weak to Grass (2.56× damage), so those attackers cut through it fastest. It resists Fire, Flying, Ice, Normal, Poison, so avoid those types against it.
What is Omastar's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Omastar reaches 3,150 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 2,786 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.
What CP is a 100% IV Omastar?
A perfect 15/15/15 Omastar shows 1,592 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,990 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.
Is Shadow Omastar better than regular Omastar?
Shadow Omastar deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more. For raids the trade is worth it; for PvP the lost bulk often is not. It arrives knowing Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket event before you power it up.
How do you get Omastar in Pokemon GO?
Evolve it from Omanyte (50 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.
Can Omastar be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Omastar depends on whether Niantic has released the form. Check the events page for Community Days and event weekends, which is when shiny rates are boosted.
