      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Archen has a respectable Attack stat of 213, but this Rock/Flying-type Pokémon has no Rock-type Quick Move and no Flying-type Charged Move.

      Also, its Defense is terribly low at just 89. 😭

      All this results in zero utility in raids and gyms for Archen.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🧸 Little Cup

      Despite having extremely low bulk, Archen has a serviceable moveset that pairs well with its high offensive power.

      • Dragon Claw gives it good neutral coverage.
      • An Ancient Power boost makes it a serious threat.
      • However, all of Archen’s moves are resisted by Steel Pokémon, and that’s a huge disadvantage for this prehistoric Pokémon. 🥲

      🔵 Great League

      • Archen struggles heavily in the Great League due to its extreme fragility.
      • It loses nearly every match in this platform. 😔

      Archen doesn’t work out in the other Leagues.

      💥 The best PvP moveset for Archen is Wing Attack, Ancient Power, and Dragon Claw.
