Available for SWSH
Order Archeops — free

Archeops is a Rock/Flying-type Pokémon (National Dex #567) with a high stat total of 567. Of the six Nintendo Switch games GenPKM supports, it appears only in Sword & Shield, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Attack at 140, which makes it a fast, hard-hitting sweeper. Attack outweighs Special Attack by a clear margin, so an Adamant or Jolly nature and a physical move set play to its strengths. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.

Defensively, Archeops takes super-effective damage from Water, Electric, Ice, Rock, Steel. It is completely immune to Ground. It resists Normal, Fire, Poison, Flying, Bug. Its ability options are Defeatist.

Archeops evolves into Archen (37). You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.

In-game, Archeops has 8 recorded encounter locations across Sword & Shield (8) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Sword & Shield, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Archeops ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.

Frequently Asked Questions about Archeops

How do I get Archeops for free?
Order it on GenPKM. Pick Archeops in the Pokédex, choose the level, nature, IVs, EVs, ability, Poké Ball and whether you want it shiny, then our trade bot runs a Link Trade and sends it to your game. It is free, and it takes about a minute once you are through the queue.
Which games is Archeops available in?
GenPKM can build Archeops for Sword & Shield. Each game has its own move pool and encounter data, so the copy you receive is legal for the specific game you pick.
Is a genned Archeops legal in Pokémon HOME?
Yes. Every Archeops built here is validated against PKHeX, which applies the same legality rules Pokémon HOME uses when you deposit. It passes HOME without flags and transfers normally between the games that support the species.
What is Archeops weak against?
Archeops is Rock/Flying-type, so it takes super-effective damage from Water, Electric, Ice, Rock, Steel. It is immune to Ground. It resists Normal, Fire, Poison, Flying, Bug.
What is the best nature for Archeops?
Archeops's Attack (140) is well ahead of its Special Attack (112), so a physical nature suits it — Adamant to maximise damage, or Jolly if you want the extra Speed. You choose the nature when you order, so there is no breeding involved.
Which abilities can Archeops have?
Archeops has a single ability: Defeatist.
Can I get a shiny Archeops?
Yes, through GenPKM. Note that at least one in-game encounter for Archeops is shiny-locked, so it cannot be found shiny in the wild there. A shiny ordered here is generated with a legal PID and Encryption Constant and passes Pokémon HOME's shiny verification.
