Aerodactyl (Japaneseプテラ Ptera) is a dual-type Rock/Flying Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It is resurrected from an Old Amber, and while it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Aerodactyl can Mega Evolve into Mega Aerodactyl using the Aerodactylite.

Biology

129Magikarp.webp This section does not yet meet the quality standards of Bulbapedia. Please feel free to edit this section to make it conform to Bulbapedia norms and conventions.

Aerodactyl is a pterosaurian, bipedal Pokémon with several draconic features. It has large, membranous wings, as well as small, sharply pointed ears, narrow eyes, a ridged snout, a gaping mouth, and a strong lower jaw full of serrated fangs. Its body is covered in light blue-grey skin with violet wing membranes. Aerodactyl's wings consist of a membrane running from the side of the body to the tip of an elongated finger. The clawed hands at the end of each wing allow it to grasp objects. There is a hump-like ridge with a spike on its back, and it has a strong tail with an arrow-shaped tip. Its talon-like feet have two toes in front and one in the back and are capable of scooping up and tightly clutching its prey in flight.

Aerodactyl's serrated fangs and ferocious attitude were nevertheless very imposing, and it is said to be have been capable of effortlessly ripping out enemies' throats. These fangs can also tear through any skin of a Pokémon to pieces, especially Steel-type Pokémon. By spreading its wings, Aerodactyl is believed to have flown by gliding through the skies, freely letting out its high-pitched cries. It liked to nest in the mountains, where it enjoyed both safety and seclusion.

As Mega Aerodactyl, its eyes turn green and the body begins to turn to stone, which some researchers believe was its original appearance before fossilization. It grows larger in size and sprouts jagged black spikes all over its body: five spikes at the wrist joint of each wing replacing its hands, three small spikes along its tail, one spike on each ear, and a long spike on its chin. The spike on its back and its rear talons have also become black and stony. Rocky plates cover its eyebrows and the corners of its jaw. Similar stone ornaments are present on its chest on its torso: two small ridges flanking a longer ridge. Because of the burden of Mega Evolution, Mega Aerodactyl is fiercer and more irritable than before. As a result, Mega Aerodactyl attacks anything that moves.

Major appearances

In Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon, an Aerodactyl scared off the other Generation I Fossil Pokémon that were chasing Ash and Team Rocket. It then kidnapped Ash, who was rescued by Jigglypuff's songTodd took a photo of this Aerodactyl, which was seen in Pokémon Paparazzi. The same Aerodactyl appeared in a flashback in Who Gets To Keep Togepi? and The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!.

In Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias, an Aerodactyl was resurrected from a fossil alongside a giant Kabutops by Annie and Oakley. In the English dub, it was described as having been used by an evil Trainer to torment the civilians of Alto Mare but was drowned when a Latios brought water to the city. It was ordered to chase after Ash and Latias. It had blank, yellow-tinted eyes with no pupils and a thick black outline.

In Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!, an Aerodactyl was revived by Gary Oak. It seemed to enjoy eating a pear-like fruit that grew in the forests of an island. Team Rocket agents Butch and Cassidy wanted to steal this Aerodactyl and present it to Dr. Namba, but were stopped by Gary's Umbreon and Dodrio, and the Aerodactyl itself, who sent the two Rockets flying with a Hyper Beam.

In Wild in the Streets, Team Rocket accidentally revived an Aerodactyl from its fossil. Angered and confused, it terrorized Oreburgh City. It was eventually stopped by Dawn's Piplup and Buneary before Dr. Kenzo caught it

In A League of His Own!Trevor was revealed to have caught an Aerodactyl. It was used in his battle against Alain in the Lumiose Conference, where it went up against Charizard but was soon defeated.

Trivia

  • Aerodactyl shares its category with ArctovishArctozoltDracovish, and Dracozolt. They are all known as the Fossil Pokémon.
  • Aerodactyl was the inspiration for the naming of Aerodactylus, a genus of pterosaurs.
  • Aerodactyl is the only Fossil Pokémon with a Mega Evolved form.
    • It is also the only Fossil Pokémon that can be obtained in any way other than breeding, reviving its Fossil, or from the Dream World: it is available through an in-game trade in Generation II, as a gift in Generation VII, and is one of Hayley's trades.
      • The trade in Generation II was removed in HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions, likely due to the fact that the Old Amber could be obtained and revived in these games, unlike in Generation II.
  • In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Aerodactyl was originally known as "Ptera", its Japanese name.
  • Aerodactyl is the only Pokémon owned by Lance and Clair in the core series who is not a Dragon-type Pokémon nor a Pokémon belonging to the Dragon Egg group
    • This is likely due to pterosaurs being known as "winged dragons" (翼竜 yokuryū) in Japanese, further explaining why it is called a "dragon" by an old man in Pewter Museum of Science in Generations IIII, and [[Generation |]], as well as suggesting why its appearance is influenced by that of wyverns
  • Mega Aerodactyl has the highest base Speed stat of all Rock-type Pokémon.
  • Mega Aerodactyl has the highest base stat total of all Fossil Pokémon.
  • Aerodactyl is one of four non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon available in Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire. The others are ChikoritaCyndaquil and Totodile.
  • Mega Aerodactyl has a unique base stat total of 615.
  • Aerodactyl is the only Generation I Rock-type Pokémon to not possess a 4× weakness to Grass-type moves.

Origin

Aerodactyl's design is mostly based on rhamphorhynchids, a family of toothed pterosaurs. However, its pointed wings, spaded tail, and robust jaws also give it the resemblance of a dragon, specifically wyverns.

Name origin

Aerodactyl's name is a combination of aero (Greek for air) and pterodactyl.

Ptera's name derives from pterosaur.
