Archeops in the meta

PvE Analysis

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.

PvP Analysis

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.

More information

Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost.

Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza

Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Archeops, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

Catch rate formula

Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
