''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'' featured an Aerodactyl that was revived by [[Gary Oak]]. The Aerodactyl 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 in order to present it to [[Dr. Namba]], but were stopped by [[Gary's Umbreon]] and {{p|Dodrio}}, and of course the Aerodactyl who sent the two Rockets flying with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

The exact habitat of Aerodactyl is unknown even though some living samples have been found miles underground in caves, but so far most Aerodactyl are revived from Old Amber.
Aerodactyl is a Pokémon from the age of dinosaurs. It was regenerated from genetic material extracted from amber. It is imagined to have been the king of the skies in ancient times.

Aerodactyl was originally going to use its Japanese name, "Ptera", as its English name.
Ironically, until Generation IV, Aerodactyl could not learn Crunch, despite the fact that most of its Pokédex entries mentioned its saw-like teeth.
The Pokédex entry for Aerodactyl in FireRed says that Aerodactyl is ressurrected from dinosaur genetic material. However, there are no non-avian dinosaurs that are known to have flown.
In the games, Aerodactyl's cry was the same as Vileplume.
Origin
It appears to be based upon pterosaurs, prehistoric flying reptiles.
Name origin
Aerodactyl's name may be a pun, combining aero, Greek for air, with the similar sounding pterodactyl. Its Japanese name is simply a shortening of the word pterodactyl.
