===Physiology===
Archeops is a large, ancient avian flying Pokémon. It possesses traits of both birds and reptiles. Its head is snake-like in appearance; it is featherless, scaly, and red with a green stripe running along the top. Its mouth is lined with sharp fangs. Its eyes are round white with black pupils. Its body is covered with frayed yellowish feathers with blue feathers on its winglike arms and legs. All of its winglike limbs bear razor-sharp claws. It has a ring of small, green feathers on its ankles. Its tail is red and featherless except for the fan of blue feathers at the tip.
===Natural Abilities===
After evolving Archeops can fly, though they aren't very good at it.
===Behavior===
Archeops are naturally erratic creatures, being almost untameable even by non-legendary Pokémon standards. However it can understand a Trainer's commands, when it has settled down that is.

===Origin===
Archeops may be based on the Archaeopteryx. It also shares some similarities with feathers raptors. The wings on its legs are likely inspired from tetrapteryx dinosaurs such as Microraptor. Its title as the "First Bird Pokémon" may be because scientists previously thought Archaeopteryx was the earliest form of bird.
===Etymology===
Archeops may come from "Archaeopteryx" and "Archean" (one of the four geological eons).
