Archen (Japanese: アーケン, HepburnAaken) (AR-ken[1]) is a Rock/Flying-type Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It can be revived from a Plume Fossil.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Archen is a bipedal red, yellow, and blue feathered prehistoric bird-like Pokémon with a large red beak with protruding fangs, 3-taloned feet and a blue tail. It is covered mainly in yellow feathers, with some red and blue plumage on its wings and tail. The back of its head is blue, and it has large round eyes with black pupils. It has claws on its wing-like hands.

Behavior[]

They dwell in the treetops of warm jungles; despite their wing-like arms, however, Archen are unable to fly. Instead, they hop from branch to branch to get around.

They are known to be very cowardly; though aggressive at first, they will quickly retreat when threatened. Archen are thought to have gone extinct as more adept fliers evolved and out-competed them for resources. A recent publication has suggested that the connection between Archen and modern avian Pokémon may in fact be false, but the scientific community has yet to reach a consensus on the issue.

Evolution[]

Archen evolves into Archeops at level 37.

Trivia[]

  • Archen is one of three fossil Pokémon that has wings, along with Aerodactyl and Archeops.

Origin[]

Archen may be based on the Archaeopteryx. Its title as the "First Bird Pokémon" may be because scientists previously thought Archaeopteryx was the earliest form of bird.

Etymology[]

Archen and Āken may come from Archaeopteryx, Archean (one of the four geological eons), and possibly hen (a female bird).
