archeops

Archeops is a dual-type Rock/Flying Pokémon, distinguished by its avian features with a prehistoric and reptilian design. This design was inspired by early avian species and ancient dinosaurs. Archeops is the evolved form of Archen and is renowned for its notable speed and attack capabilities. However, these are somewhat diminished due to its unique ability.

Type: Rock/Flying

Abilities:

• Defeatist: Archeops is equipped with the ability Defeatist, which halves its Attack and Special Attack stats when its HP dips below 50%. This ability echoes Archeops' perceived fragile nature, despite its potent offensive capabilities.

Interesting Facts:

• Appearance: Archeops has a multi-colored feather design featuring red, blue, and yellow plumage. Its body structure and design bear a strong resemblance to the Archaeopteryx, viewed as a bridge between dinosaurs and birds.
• Historical Ties: Archeops is a fossil Pokémon, which further underscores its prehistoric birthright. Archeops, as well as its pre-evolution Archen, are invaluable to the Pokémon world due to their connection to ancient times.

• Ultra-Sun: This ancient Pokémon’s plumage is delicate, so if anyone other than an experienced professional tries to restore it, they will fail.
• Ultra-Moon: Said to be an ancestor of bird Pokémon, the muscles it uses to flap its wings are still weak, so it needs a long runway in order to take off.
