Why was it given Defeatist? Why make such a cool Pokemon useless? Why not just let it go into Ubers?

It won't go to ubers anymore even. The Flying Gem is a goner and this shit only got Acrobatics.

Its quite fucking honestly worse than Talonflame by a notch.

concept

Archaeopteryx in popular culture awkward and transitionary as an evolution between dinosaurs and birds, not yet good at what he's trying to be

so they gave it Defeatist

Because Smogon is not affiliated with Nintendo, and since it is not a legendary of any kind it would be perfectly legal and hugely powerful in nintendo sanctioned competitions.

Gamefreak seems to believe that fossil pokemon should suck. Maybe it's like an evolution thing. If fossil pokemon were so awesome why would they have gone extinct. So it could be intentional.

Honestly it wouldn't be so bad if Defeatist activated at least when it had like 1/4th health or something. Like certain berries. Also Rock is, for whatever fucking reason, not resistant to Stealth Rocks, so it takes 1/4th HP anyway on switching in.

because it's more interesting than just a generic pokemon with abnormally high stats

I don't understand why they made this pokemon suck, like for no apparent reason. Like I somewhat understand Slaking, but I find it hard to believe that GF actually believes Archeops would be broken with a good ability. If they do, that's pretty sad.

Fossil pokemon don't suck however.

Kabutops is one of the best Swift Swimmers out there.

i like how this metagame is so cancerous that we automatically make pokemon worse based on how much damage they take on switching in

>playing a children's game competitively

Losing 1/4th of your health on switching in by itself isn't bad. The fact that if you switch in twice your stats are cut in half, that's crippling.
