In-Depth Analysis
Aerodactyl's 515 base stat total marks it as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Speed (130) carries most matchups, but a low Special Attack stat of 60 means careful positioning matters.
Its Rock, Flying typing leaves Aerodactyl with 5 weaknesses against 5 resistances and 1 full immunity. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 6 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Aerodactyl a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Speed +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
