#110 Archeops - Dark Explorers (bw5)
Archeops is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 130 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy and a converted retreat cost of two. Its primary attack, Rock Slide, costs two Fighting and one Colorless energy to deal 60 damage and inflicts 10 damage to two of the opponent’s Benched Pokémon, bypassing their Weakness and Resistance. The card includes an ability called Ancient Power, which prevents the player from evolving any Pokémon from their hand during the same turn. Archeops has a Grass-type weakness with double damage applied. It was first released in the Dark Explorers set from the Black & White series on May 9, 2012, and is classified as a Rare Secret card. The artwork is credited to 5ban Graphics, and its Pokédex entry notes its unusual coloration and rarity. This card’s design emphasizes its role in competitive play through its strategic retreat and attack mechanics.
