Is Omastar Good in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Playthrough?
Rock/Water covers a lot of ground at the endgame. Omastar handles Lance's Charizard and Aerodactyl with Rock moves, while Water covers Blaine and Giovanni. Late arrival means it's an Elite Four specialist, but it earns that role.

How to Get Shiny Omastar in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee
In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, the only route to a Shiny Omastar is Soft Reset, about 1 in 4,096 per try. Shininess carries through evolution, so hunting an earlier stage and evolving it counts too. Track your chance below as you hunt. Compare Shiny Omastar odds across every game
Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Shiny Omastar Calculator
1 MethodThe only route here is Soft Reset, about 1 in 4,096 on each try.
Soft Reset: Save in front of a static, gift, or legendary encounter, then reset until it sparkles.
How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters |
|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 432 |
| 25%one in four | 1,179 |
| 50%coin flip | 2,839 |
| 90%very likely | 9,431 |
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.
Curious how fast a hunt could go? Work out your Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee shiny odds for Omastar.
Omastar Weakness
Omastar's Rock/Water typing leaves it vulnerable to Grass, Electric, Fighting, and Ground. Grass hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. 5 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Omastar's physical bulk (base 125 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Grass |
| 2x (Weak) | Electric, Fighting, Ground |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Normal, Ice, Poison, Flying |
| 0.25x (Resist) | Fire |
