The only pokemon with higher BSTs than archeops are legendaries, psuedoes, megas, and slaking

Archeops is only SLIGHTLY stronger than Arcanine, yet Arcanine doesn't have a shit ability that renders it completely useless. GG GF.

Archeopteryx is not bird, nor is it the direct ancestor to birds

I hate that that made me grin.

I'll still love you Archeops. You were the first fossil I actually really liked. I wound up liking Aerodactyl later, but it's not the same.

Fuck Defeatist.

It's a transition species right?

No such thing because its impossible to identify that.
We just know it looks similar to what the transition species would have been. Possibly.
Most likely scenario is that Archeopteryx is merely a cousin to the "transition" and was just another feathered dinosaur with no legacy.

All that attack is useless when your movepool is such a huge piece of garbage.
If I wanted to spam Stone Edge and EQ in competitive nothing is stopping me from using Landorus-T anyway, which is stronger, has actual bulk and a good ability.

Bruh Archeops learns decent offensive moves for 11 out of 18 types. How you gonna tell me his movepool is bad? It just gets relegated to primarily using Stone Edge and EQ because those moves have extremely good coverage on their own.

If only he had Rock Head.

I'd be happy with an ability that does nothing whatsoever in battle like run away.

Run Away should make you impossible to trap, like you can still switch out of Mean Look, Infestation, or Arena Trap. I think that would be a cool niche for it.

Let's say it gets Sheer Force or something in a later installment. How good does it become?

Well, Kabuto is stated to still be alive in modern day, for good reason.

Wonder how people go about their daily lives, knowing that Kabutops can naturally exist in this modern day and age.

Sheer Force wouldn't affect him much actually, aside from Rock Slide and, uh, Crunch, all the good moves that he learns and benefit from the ability are special(Earth Power, Focus Blast, Heat Wave)

Stone Edge isn't boosted by Sheer Force. It's a common mistake to believe high crit ratio is an effect accounted by the ability.

He can still benefit from Sheer Force Life Orb combo though.

Even if your movepool sucks too hard for Sheer Force, like Kingler, Life Orb exists.

>Heat Wave
No damage due to low sp.atk and low accuracy.
>Aqua Tail
No accuracy. Archeops can't pull it off because it can't take a hit.
>Earth Power
No sp. atk.
>Outrage
>Zen Headbutt
>Return
Fucking 10/10 moves
>Brave Bird
You wish.
>Focus Blast
Am I being baited? Do you seriously think that a movepool of special low accuracy moves is good?

True, Defeatist, its shit movepool, its shit bulk and its mediocre speed tier make it bad.
It would be at least decent with a different ability though.

you're not supposed to have those. at most they are part of its auxiliary options it can use within NU and RU to stave off whatever 1 or 2 checks you select to take on. most of what that anon listed WILL work against the designated target.

Archeops has base 112 SpA which is fair, and has access to Endeavor and Taunt as well, making it a slower Aerodactyl lead with access to Endeavor and Head Smash if you need to nuke something.
