(Japanese: アーケオス Archeos) is a dual-type Rock/Flying fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves from Aaken starting at level 37, after it is revived from a Wing Fossil.
Biology
Physiology
Archeos is a large, flying creature that bears similarities to both birds and reptiles. Its featherless, scaly head is colored green on top and red on the bottom. Its body is covered with frayed-looking, yellowish feathers. It has blue feathers designed for flight on its arms and legs enabling all four of its limbs to act as wings. All of these wings bear sharp claws. The ankles have a ring of smaller green feathers. Similarly to its head and neck, its tail is featherless, but is completely red and bears a pygostyle-like fan of blue feathers at the end. Its mouth is filled with sharp teeth. Its eyes are white with black pupils and no irises.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Unlike it's flightless preevolution, Archeos is adept at both running and flying to catch its prey, though it is more adept at running. It is a cursorial predator that can outrun an automobile. It's swiftness and power allow it to use moves like Acrobat to great effect. Being a fossil Pokémon and a Rock-type, it has access to many earth-based attacks like Rock Slide and Earthquake.
Behavior
Archeos are highly intelligent. An Archeos will work with its partners to catch prey.
Habitat
Diet

- Despite Archeos and its pre-evolution being in the Water 3 egg group, they are unable to learn any Template:Type2 moves and are not based on aquatic organisms.
Origin
Archeos appears to draw inspiration from the Microraptor, a small carnivorous dinosaur known for having wings both on its arms and legs, as well as the Archaeopteryx, believed by scientists to be the earliest of all birds. It also bears allusions to the Feathered Serpents of ancient Mesoamerican mythologies.
Name origin
Its name is derived from Archaeopteryx.
