5th Gen Plume or Cover Fossil

Will you get Plume or Cover fossil?

Which did you / will you pick and why? Or will you get both fossils through another game?


I ended up choosing the Cover Fossil. Funny story actually, I was watching Tosh.0 and he was making a turtle joke as I was trying to decide which fossil I should take, as I love them both, and so I chose the Cover Fossil. I named him Tosh and never looked back. I love Archen too, but now I have a little soft spot for Tirtouga.

He also helped me a lot on my final battle with Ghetis and the Elite Four (the first time that is).
 
I chose the plume fossil because I needed a pokemon who could fly and archen was one of my choices so I decided to get him. Also I started with oshawott, so i didn't need another water pokemon for my team.
 
TURTLE POWER

Carracosta is definitely my favorite fossil Pokemon in the history of ever. Like, seriously. I wouldn't nab any other fossil Pokemon if I had the choice. :D

Ipicked archen the first time around, but when I restart it I'm picking tirtouga for sure since on my second game I'll be using my favorite pokemon so I have to say that I love carracosta, reminds me a lot of blastoise.
 
Archeops is by far better with its OUTRAGEOUS Attack stat and Speed and two STAB BP 100+ attacks with great neutral coverage and access to U-turn scouting and the classic Edge-Quake, its a beast of a revenge killer or cleaner in OU.
 
I prefer Tirtouga over Archen, so I chose the Cover fossil. Archeops is outclassed by so many other flying types and it's ability, Defeatist, could pose quite a bit of problems.

I chose me the turtle. |D

Course... wound up dropping him later in the game for cooler pokemon. I think it was Vanillite?

I got the plume fossil and i regret it. Sure archen is a good pokemon until it loses half its HP then its absolutly awful.
 
I am surprised how even this poll is! I chose the Plume Fossil. It was a difficult choice, though not because I liked them both; in fact, it was for the opposite reason. I thought the fossil Pokemon of this generation were both sub-par.
 
I got the one with Carracosta. Might I say, this is the most useless Pokémon ever.

Carracosta is a monster online and in-game. What are you talking about?

Once I start Black I'm getting Archeops! White is still my main game though and I won't be playing Black for a long time I'm sure.

I picked plume, because I liked the name, but now I'm looking at Archen on Serebii and wishing I got the Cover fossil :/
 
I have both versions so I'll have both, but if I didn't I would choose Tirtouga. <3
