**Hazards and Status Inflictions**: Because of Defeatist, Hazards such as Stealth Rock are very detrimental to Archeops often if not causing it to become weakened taking off its razor edge and diminishing its strength. Status inflictions such as Toxic and Burn ruin Archeops completely. Toxic prevents Archeops from staying out and diminishes its health slowly, becoming progressively damaging. Burn damage automatically leaves Archeops as a sitting duck, not only dropping its Attack, but because of Defeatist can also halve Archeops Attack even lower, making it feeble and set up fodder for sweepers.
**Water-types**: Feraligatr, Samurott, and Floatzel are all dangerous against Archeops. While the Pokemon above can in fact KO Archeops, its important to note that with once Archeops HP dips below 50% it cannot defend itself with attacks, making it easy to pick off. Feraligatr can not only set up with Swords Dance and Dragon Dance, but can also utilize Aqua Jet, striking Archeops with enough force for Defeatist to kick in. Choice Scarf Samurott can outspeed Archeops and damage it significantly. Floatzel can outspeed Archeops and can also utilize Aqua Jet effectively defeating Archeops
########

Moves
========
- Acrobatics is one of Archeops best STAB moves, allowing it to have double the power without any items held.
- Stone Edge is a great STAB as well, useful for critical hits and for coverage against Ice- and Fire-types. Stone Edge is a superior choice than Head Smash due to its lack of recoil damage.
- Earth Power is great coverage against Steel- and Rock-types such as Probopass, Klinklang.
- Knock Off is very useful in getting rid of the opponents items if they're not Berries. Items such as Focus Sash, Assault Vest, and Red Cards are great items to get rid of.
- Alternatively U-turn can be used to escape certain situations that don't favor Archeops or can be used for quick pivots to other teammates to pick off weaker opponents.
Set Details
========
- Its not necessary to have an item for Archeops because it benifits Acrobatics, doubling the strength of the move.
- Maximize Attack and Speed EV's to allow Archeops to dominate the oppponent, shelling out as much offensive damage as it can, and being able to outspeed opponents for the sake of KO'ing them before they can harm its health.
- Naive nature is great to maximize Speed.
Usage Tips
========
- Bring in Archeops when the field is clear of hazards such as Stealth Rock. Also bring it out on weakened prey or when the opponents team has suffered huge loses (such as sweepers or clerics).
- Spam Acrobatics against Grass-types such as Lilligant, Vileplume, and Exeggutor.
- Spam Stone Edge against Flying-types and Ice-types. Pokemon such as Vivillon and Cryogonal.
- Spam Knock Off when needed, against Pokemon that carry items that can be useful to the
- If using U-turn, switch out into Pokemon that can withstand whatever damage is coming, for example, having Archeops using U-turn to a Ground-type teammate when an Electric Attack is used.
