Archeops
 With a similar Attack stat as Rampardos, you'd expect Archeops to be fantastic, right? Unfortunatly, no. It's only held back by a lackluster movepool, where it's either missing a Flying type charged attack, or a Rock type fast attack to excell at either type respectively. While it's not relevant yet, it's one move away from being a top Rock or Flying type attacker.
Archeops has been a long running joke behind the scenes at GamePress, being a personal favourite theory craft of mine. This has to be a sign Fly is coming soon, right?
