One of several fossil pokémon. Easily the most outstanding of its fossil brethren, rivaled only by Aerodactyl, this amazing pokémon shares various qualities from both birds and reptiles.
A bajillion years ago they used to hunt in packs, but Nintendo and Game Freak came along and limited fights to 2-6 participants for the sole purpose of making
sure Archeops
don'
t murder everything. They'
re also as fast as an automobile, which is like a
car, but less aerodynamic. Nature's way of balancing that out was making
sure they were terrible fliers, which ultimately doesn'
t matter because they still get the typing.
They're also plagued by their terrible ability, defeatist, which cannot be changed, cementing the species as a species of pussies that can smack your
shit sideways.
