Is it autistic to run archeops with no item for the acrobatics spam? Is there anything better?

BEST ARCHEOPS SET INCOMING
aerodactyl@ mega stone
252 attack/252 speed
stone edge
wing attack
earthquake
aqua tail
>>31556287
What's the point of waiting until I go to half health to be able to use 110 BP acrobatics? Archeops get 1hkoed pretty easily anyway
>>31556303
That's not rampardos
>>31556343
rampardos is good, but not the best
He got cucked out of his only possible niche by tyrantrum
>>31556361
Mega rampardos
Huge power
Atk: 265 (+100)
>>31556236
>failure between bird and dino
>resembles both a shitty raptor and shitty feathered dino (the worst)
it's a fucking shit fossilmon anon and so is tirtouga.
everything else is good fossilmons but gen 5 was fucking terrible
>>31556361
I feel this gen his usuage may go up with anti priority meta and anti fighting meta
>>31556399
you're right anon, rampardo's fatal flaw is that it just doesn't hit hard enough
>>31556236
Does using up a Z Move trigger Acrobatics' increased power?
>>31556427
Uh no.
>>31556423
awful, horrible, horrendous, terrible, truly abysmal taste
>>31556465
nope, the pokemon is still holding the crystal
>>31556481
literally every other fossilmon is better
>>31556327
Replace Earthquake with Crunch for tough claws synergy.
>>31556591
>what is bastiodon
OP, arheops's only good set is the lead one. Focus sash with stealth rocks, head smash, endeavor, and either taunt or defog.
>>31556471
By up i mean from pu back to nu

>is it autistic

Yes.

I've seen more Archeops than just about any other fossilmon, possibly tied with aerodactyl. But let us be honest: Kabutops is a worse Scyther, Omastar is a PRAISE HELIX, but does nothing competitively. Armand-bro has a type nobody remembers but it just gets killed because it's not a good type. Cradily is almost useless without it's HA, which just makes it a "scald sucker". Bastion is "My massive defense means nothing because I have a 4X weakness as my FACE", and rampardos is "trick room use only" sweeper who dies before getting his first attack off
...
What am I up to? "Invalidated by Fairies" and "Slow Ice Special"?
>>31556724
Kabutops is pretty legit in rain senpai
>>31556648
It does play well with the new priority healing fairy: max out bulk and speed, carry that berry that increases your attack, attack, take a hit, if you live, next turn the triage fairy heals you to full as a priority, you outspeed 90% of the meta. You can 2HKO much of the same with Stone edge, EQ, Dragon Claw, ... Whatever
>>31556685
why are you here
>>31556724
Kabuto would be better if it literally only got accelrock and technician
>>31556838
so... being a worse scizor
>>31556427
>anti priority meta
Leles getting banned, so not for long
>>31556861
I don't think its that big of a deal, but tsareena and bruxish are still things that exist. Although bruxish doesn't generally run dazzling.
Use Power Herb for a jacked up Sky Attack, then spam Acrobatics. Other than tha you want Earthquake and Stone edge
>>31556256
Stop, it hurts
why would they take out the only fucking item that made this pokemon viable one generation after it was introduced?
>>31557760
Oh that's actually the first good suggestion, thank you.
>>31556724
>Omastar does nothing competitively
Has a great spikes set as a lead, works great in the rain as a Swift Swim user, and has Shell Smash. It's decent enough. Before Mega Aerodactyl became a thing I thought it was the strongest fossil, easily.
