RE: The Competitive Battling Questions Thread
It's like this:
Adamant if you want to hit harder.
Jolly if you want to be faster.
Make sure you have near perfect IVs.
I really don't know how well Archeops will preform in VGC, as he is outsped by the Genies (Tornadus and Thundurus) by one point, and Archeops's ability is really bad, although I really don't know if entry hazards are as big in VGC.
As for the moves, drop Giga Impact and Dragon Tail. Loosing a turn because of Giga Impact can help your opponent set-up a sweeper / switch in a Pokemon / hit Archeops so that his abilty kicks in, making him useless for the rest of the match. Dragon Tail has negative priority, meaning you move last. Really not a good move for him considering his speed. As for moves to replace with, I really don't know. StoneQuake offers neat perfect coverage, so consider a move that makes complete coverage. His Sp. Atk isn't horrible, so you could run a move like Hidden Power Fire to hit Ferrothorn hard.
