Pokémon in the Spotlight: Archeops!

    Archeops is a Rock and Flying type Pokémon, and can be found in Generation V games and later.

    Archeops is a great Pokémon, especially as it is both Rock and Flying type. Its only disadvantage is its ability; Defeatist. This halves the users Attack and Special Attack if its HP drops below 50%.

         – Suggested moveset

    • Acrobatics
    • Earthquake
    • Hidden Power (Grass)
    • Roost
    Acrobatics is a great Flying attacking move. Earthquake is a good choice and Archeops is both Ground and Flying. Hidden Power, which would be Grass type, takes out Ground, Rock and Water Pokémon. Roost allows Archeops to recover HP.
    Archeops is a great Pokémon, but is let down by its ability.
