Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Black / Y / Alpha Sapphire | Said to be an ancestor of bird Pokémon, they were unable to fly and moved about by hopping from one branch to another. |
| White / X / Omega Ruby | Revived from a fossil, this Pokémon is thought to be the ancestor of all bird Pokémon. |
| Black 2 / White 2 | It was revived from an ancient fossil. Not able to fly, it lived in treetops and hopped from one branch to another. |
| Sun | It is the ancestor of all bird Pokémon. Archen itself could not actually fly but moved by hopping from treetop to treetop. |
| Moon | To all appearances flightless, it was able to glide down from tall treetops to snag its prey. |
| Ultra Sun | Once thought to be the ancestor of all bird Pokémon, some of the latest research suggests that may not be the case. |
| Ultra Moon | Restored from a fossil, this ancient bird Pokémon has wings but can’t yet fly. |

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
