Its body is covered in untidy, sallow feathers, with blue, clawed wings that cannot be used for flight. It has short, thin legs, and a thin, twig-like tail that bears a diamond-shaped blue feather. It has wide white eyes with black pupils and no irises.It is believed to be the ancestor of all bird Pokémon.
Behavior
Archen cannot fly yet, but it has an arboreal lifestyle, hopping between branches. Like their evolved form, they are likely carnivorous predators, hunting prey as they move about the forest.Habitat
Archen are believed to be extinct in the wild, so have no habitat in current times.Diet

Trivia
* No other Pokémon has the same egg group combination as Archen and its evolution.* Despite Archen and its evolution being in the Water 3 egg group, they are unable to learn any Water-type moves and are not based on aquatic organisms.
* Archen is the only Pokémon that has a base stat total of 401.
Origin
Archen appears to draw inspiration from Archaeopteryx. However, since its Pokédex entry states that it is unable to fly, it also seems to be based on small, flightless feathered dinosaurs such as Caudipteryx or Velociraptor.Artist Impressions
