Yeah, nah. His ability is worse than fucking Truant.

I love Archeops too, but I'd look elsewhere for a Defoger.

But it looks kinda genius if you think about it.

Defog reduces evasiveness, which is a big issue with Head Smash. The rest is just icing on the cake.

You can get his fossil by going back to the room at the end of the glittering cave and using rock smash.

Potentially, but using Defog first could get him sent down to Defeatist range, and then he'd be useless.

Just no. Archeops only works as a sweeper. Any lost health completely cripples him. I don't know why anyone would run Head Smash on him.

True, but it's still a neat little trick.

Unfortunate I thought rock resisted rock, thus he's weak to stealth rock... how unfortunate.

He'll die in one hit to most things anyway, especially if he's got Head Smash. His only decent sets are Choice Scarf for U-Turn/Revenge Killing or Flying Gem + Acrobatics (if it ever becomes available in gen 6). And even then he's vulnerable to priority.

Confirmed for not having used an Archeops!

Any real competent player knows his ability is rarely an issue.

the biggest issue with head smash isnt the accuracy but the recoil which could potentially put archeops into the defeatist range depending on the pokemon that you kill
