That's definitely a real surprise for opponent. Archeops' Attack, you know, is enormous but anyway its Special Attack is more than decent. So building around a Choice Specs Special set, reaching a 319 Speed with a Modest Nature (outspeed Xatu, Jynx, Uxie or neutral Cryogonal and Rotom) or usual 350 Speed using a Timid Nature could be something unexpected for opponent. Main idea is hit some Archeops' counter as Seismitoad and Samurott, despite objectively it's less effective against Mesprit and Malamar.
Earth Power, Hidden Power Grass and Focus Blast are main attack, last slot is depending on team coverage but U-turn is always the main option because it's useful to gain momentum. Calcs are surprising:
