It's called flavor. Archeops is cowardly, so it has an ability that reflects that.

There's ways to add flavor without sacrificing gameplay though.

New ability: Fight-or-flight
If any of Archeops stats are lowered by an opponent, it raises it's speed.

eh, I think Archeops should have it's own thing. Plus Emergency Exit really deserves a buff, I always thought it would be cool if they gave Golisopod U-turn and Flip turn and made Emergency Exit give priority to switching out moves.

That would be really cancerous even for Golisopod, anon.

125 Attack isn't even that good w/o a damage-boosting ability, nowadays. It wouldn't be cancerous

Pretty sure it would still be cancerous. Golisopod would basically be unhittable except from other priority moves.

Right but you have to realize the power of doing that much damage off of a flip turn

They should just give it Early Bird, good pun and negligible effect in battle.
