I got a Plume Fossil and kept resetting until I got one with a Jolly nature. I was then able to OHKO and outspeed everything and I mean EVERYTHING once he evolved into Archeops.
 
Carracosta looks awesome to me. Don't get me wrong, Archen and Archeops look cool too, it's just I like Tirtouga and Carracosta's design alot more.
 
I took a look at both of their stats and was far more impressed with Archen/Archeops's offensive power but then I realized Carracosta ends up learning Shell Break which makes me think it would be way better to pick up the cover rather than the plume.
 
I picked up the Plume. Archeops has always been awesome to me, but I was destroyed when I found out its ability was Defeatist. Even so, I still chose it, and now I've bred a Jolly one. :D

Archen is so useless. I chose it, and I quickly traded it off. Defeatist? What kind of ability is that? Why give an ability that makes your Pokemon worse when its HP is low? Ridiculous.

I don't have either fossil Pokemon now. Ditched Archen, and not interested in Tirtouga.

Because once it evolves,Archeops has a base 140 atk, combine it with Acrobatics (w/ no held items) you can pretty much wreck anything that doesn't resist Flying type moves.
 
I really like Archen/Archeops, but its ability?
Oh well. It's still a nice Pokemon.
 
I picked the Plume fossil (Archen) because I needed a flying pokemon on my team before I beat the Elite 4. He actually was very useful in my playthrough, with his sky-high stats, and I didn't have too much of a problem with his ability. Although that isn't to say that I wish he had a better one.
 
I picked the Cover Fossil. I needed a water type on my team and it seems to be the only decent one aside from Jellicent, but I already have a Ghost Type Chandelure in my planned team.

Archeops' ability really disappoints me after seeing it's stats. Even with it's high stats it's ability really ruins it for me.
 
The Plume Fossil. Archeops is one of the most badass flying-types ever, gameplay wise, other than Skarmory or Staraptor. It's ability doesn't even faze me, I sweep with it so fast. Sadly, it's a ripoff of Aerodactyl, so it loses coolness points there.

Noob out.
 
Plume fossil wins. Archen is just a significantly better Pokemon. Its stats are fantastic.
 
Archen has a base stat total of something like, 567, it's Attack is through the roof, it's down right powerful and it's a bird! ~ Voted for the Plume Fossil.
 
i accidently chose the plume fossil in 2 of my games.
but out of the 2 i would choose the turtle one
