It wouldn't be BROKEN without Defeatist, but Defeatist makes it so you can't just mindlessly spam attacks. You have to put thought into using Archeops.

It should have gotten Early Bird as a Hidden Ability though, just for the pun.

None of you seem to realize that asking Why Archeops has a shitty Ability is akin to asking why Slaking gets Truant.

It was designed with that in mind in the first place.

>Archeops appears to draw inspiration from the Microraptor, a small, carnivorous dinosaur known for having wings on all four limbs, as well as Archaeopteryx, believed by scientists to be the earliest of all birds, also referenced by its species as the "First Bird" Pokémon. It may also be based on the Feathered Serpents of ancient Mesoamerican mythologies.

it goes even deeper than that.

>It is also the only Pokémon whose base stat total matches its National Pokédex number.

It's not about the BST, it's about the distribution. Archeops is purposefully min maxed, just like M-Beedrill would be later. This doesn't make it OP, and it probably would be fine without the ability, but it's disingenuous to say that because it only has 12 more stat points than Arcanine, it's just like Arcanine in terms of power.

it's weird that aerodactyl has this problem too, maybe it was a thematic decision about flying fossils or something, though aero doesn't even get acrobatics and has to make do using wing attack
