{{PokémonPrevNext/Pokémon|type=Rock|prevnum=566|prev=Archen|nextnum=568|next=Trubbish}}

'''Archeops''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーケオス''' ''Archeos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Flying}} [[Fossil]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Archen}} starting at [[level]] 37, after it is revived from a [[Cover and Plume Fossils|Plume Fossil]].

Archeops is a large, flying creature that bears similarities to a dinosaur. Its featherless, scaly head is red with a green stripe running along the top. Its mouth is filled with sharp teeth. Its eyes are white with black pupils and no irises. Its body is covered with frayed-looking, yellowish feathers with 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. It has a ring of smaller green feathers on the ankles. Its tail is completely red and featherless except for a fan of blue feathers at the end, and as with the ''{{wp|Archaeopterygiformes}}'', it has fully-movable vertebrae in its tail instead of a {{wp|pygostyle}}.

Archeops debuted in ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'', when it evolved from a revived female {{p|Archen}}.

Multiple Archeops appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW075|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW076|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 2]]''.

[[N]] befriended an Archeops when it was an {{p|Archen}}. It took part in N's battle against [[Alder]].

Archeops appears to draw inspiration from the ''{{wp|Microraptor}}'', a small, carnivorous dinosaur known for having wings on all four limbs, as well as ''{{wp|Archaeopteryx}}'', believed by scientists to be the earliest of all birds, also referenced by its species as the "First Bird" Pokémon. It may also be based on the {{wp|Feathered Serpent}}s of ancient {{wp|Mesoamerica}}n mythologies.

Archeops and Archeos could be derived from ''Archaeopteryx''. It is possible they may also take inspiration from ''{{wp|Khufu|Cheops}}'' (an ancient Egyptian pharaoh).
