Its Defeatist ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Archeops. Build around what Archeops actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
