Known as the "Fossil Pokémon," it is brought back to life from an Old Amber, a prehistoric tree resin. Aerodactyl is depicted as a fierce, predatory Pterosaur-like creature that dominated the skies during the Mesozoic Era. Its sharp teeth and claws, combined with its powerful wings, made it an apex predator. In the games, it is often obtained by reviving the Old Amber found in the Pewter City Museum. Aerodactyl does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, making it a standalone evolutionary line from a fossil. It plays a significant role in the Pokémon lore as a testament to the ancient world and the possibility of reviving extinct species. Its speed and offensive capabilities often make it a formidable opponent in battles, both in the video games and the anime, where it is frequently shown in episodes related to ancient Pokémon or fossil revival. Its unique typing gives it resistances to Normal, Flying, Poison, Fire, and Bug types, while being weak to Water, Electric, Rock, Steel, and Ice types. Aerodactyl embodies the raw power and mystery of ancient life, captivating fans with its prehistoric charm and aggressive nature.
