Trivia

• A few weeks after it was revealed on September 17, its name was Americanized to "Archeops".
• Archeops, its pre-evolution form, Archen, and Aerodactyl are the only three Pokémon that are Rock/Flying type, and all three bear similarities to ancient flying creatures that were fossilized.
• Stat-wise, Archeops is better than its counterpart, Carracosta.

Origin

This Pokémon is based on the extinct Archeopterygidae, the Archeopteryx lithographica.

Etymology

Its name is based on Archeopterygidae.
