Berry Juice aims to keep Archen out of Defeatist range. Acrobatics is STAB that does tremendous damage when Beryy Juice is consumed. Head Smash is an immensely powerful attack, if a tad unreliable. Knock Off can cripple notable item users like Minefoo, Mareanie, and Vullaby. Earthquake is coverage.

This is a wallbreaker that attempts to utilize it’s decent speed(for lc) and high(for lc) attack. Earthquake is powerful coverage. Dual Wingbeat is stab, you turn is pivot. Head smash is if you want an ohko then a completely useless archen, or stone edge to attempt to keep it alive longer if you dont.

Berry Juice is to help Archen stay away from the Defeatist range. Hone Claws boosts Attack and Accuracy. Stone Edge is STAB, and if you used Hone Claws, the accuracy of Stone Edge will improve. Acrobatics is STAB and is to be used when Berry Juice is consumed. You could run Knock Off to get rid of the opponent’s item , or Earthquake for a powerful move.
