Read more ↓Aerodactyl is a Fossil Pokémon, a majestic Rock/Flying type introduced in Generation I. It is believed to have soared through the prehistoric skies, a fierce predator with a powerful bite and sharp talons. Its name literally means "air finger," referencing its pterodactyl-like wings. Aerodactyl is revived from an Old Amber fossil, a testament to the advanced technology within the Pokémon world that allows ancient creatures to be brought back to life. In the games, it is often a fast and hard-hitting Pokémon, prized for its offensive capabilities. It has no prior or subsequent evolutions, making it a unique standalone ancient Pokémon. Its dual typing gives it resistances to Normal, Flying, Poison, Fire, and Bug types, but also makes it doubly weak to Electric and Ice, and weak to Rock, Steel, and Water. Aerodactyl often appears in the anime as a powerful, untamed force of nature, symbolizing the raw power of ancient times. Its impressive design and backstory have cemented its place as a fan favorite, representing the allure of discovery and the mysteries of the past. Its Mega Evolution further amplifies its ferocity, transforming it into an even more formidable aerial hunter with increased speed and attack.
