Archeops's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Archeops PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Archeops is tragic in Pokémon GO. It has a crazy high Attack stat of 292, and with a moveset upgrade, it could soar to the top of the Rock and Flying meta. 👀

With the addition of Fly and Rock Throw, it could reach new heights, but until that happens, Archeops is just a Pokédex entry. 😢

⚔️ Raids

  • Its moves lack synergy, so there's no reason to bring it to raid battles.

🛡️ Gyms

  • Due to its poor bulk, Archeops shouldn’t be used to defend gyms.

Archeops PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Archeops’ bulk is concerning, and without a good moveset to compensate, you simply can't expect even a decent performance from this Pokémon in PvP. 🫠

Still, it’s a fun Pokémon to use if you're bored.

💥 The best PvP moveset for Archeops is Wing Attack, Dragon Claw, and Crunch.

Ultra SunThis ancient Pokémon’s plumage is delicate, so if anyone other than an experienced professional tries to restore it, they will fail.
Ultra MoonSaid 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.
