I would like to cast my ballot for Teddeh's set. I like the idea you brought forward and I feel it breaks the mold enough to act as a solid suprise to most people. Great job!

Archeops
Ability: Defeatist
EVs: 248 HP / 244 Spdef / 16 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Taunt / Earthquake
- Toxic
- Acrobatics
- Roost

We got the ultimate stall breaker archeops, designed to taunt + toxic stall the ever so annoying walls such as mega-audino. mega-camel, typhlosion, calm minding pixies such as uxie or mesprit and then can also switch in on the likes of liepard, garb and even a well predicted knock off from sawk.
calcs:
252 SpA Choice Specs Typhlosion Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 244 SpD Archeops: 123-146 (34.8 - 41.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ SpA Sheer Force Mega Camerupt Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 244 SpD Archeops: 144-170 (40.7 - 48.1%)
252 SpA Mesprit Psychic vs. 248 HP / 244 SpD Archeops: 132-156 (37.3 - 44.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
96 Atk Garbodor Gunk Shot vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Archeops: 97-114 (27.4 - 32.2%)

I spent too much time calcing but yeah, fun set :]
 
Special Archeops



Archeops @ Choice Specs
Ability: Defeatist
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest / Timid Nature
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Focus Blast
- U-turn / Air Cutter / Ancient Power / Heat Wave

That's definitely a real surprise for opponent. Archeops' Attack, you know, is enormous but anyway its Special Attack is more than decent. So building around a Choice Specs Special set, reaching a 319 Speed with a Modest Nature (outspeed Xatu, Jynx, Uxie or neutral Cryogonal and Rotom) or usual 350 Speed using a Timid Nature could be something unexpected for opponent. Main idea is hit some Archeops' counter as Seismitoad and Samurott, despite objectively it's less effective against Mesprit and Malamar.

Earth Power, Hidden Power Grass and Focus Blast are main attack, last slot is depending on team coverage but U-turn is always the main option because it's useful to gain momentum. Calcs are surprising:

252+ SpA Choice Specs Archeops Hidden Power Grass vs. 200 HP / 56 SpD Seismitoad: 460-544 (114.7 - 135.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Archeops Hidden Power Grass vs. 200 HP / 56 SpD Seismitoad: 416-492 (103.7 - 122.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Why would you run a jolly nature... I think you should change those calcs to timid nature

252 Atk Choice Band Archeops Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Eviolite Rhydon: 198-234 (47.8 - 56.5%) -- 85.9% chance to 2HKO

this set is excellent at grabbing momentum early game, the lack of acrobatics kind of sucks, but CB with 140 attack is going to tear things apart.
