Aerodactyl (Japanese: プテラ Ptera) is a dual-type Rock/Flying Pokémon.
It is resurrected from Old Amber and is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
It is widely considered to be extinct, and is only found by resurrecting it from the Old Amber.
Physiology
A ferocious, prehistoric Pokémon, it possesses serrated, razor-sharp fangs that it uses to tear through the throats of its prey. Its wings have skin stretched from its side to its arms. The triangular-shaped tip of its tail is grey, like the tail itself which is connected to its oval body.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Aerodactyl is capable of flying at great speeds and tearing through prey with its fangs. It is also very durable due to its rock-hard body.
Behavior
Aerodactyl's preferred method of killing its victims is by tearing through the throats of its victims with its serrated, saw-like fangs.
Habitat
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.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
In the episode Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl the Aerodactyl seemed to enjoy eating a pear like fruit that grew in the forests of an island.
In the anime
Aerodactyl first appeared in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon. It scared off the other Generation I fossil Pokémon that were chasing Ash and Team Rocket. It then kidnapped the young Trainer, who was rescued by his Charizard. Todd took a photo of this Aerodactyl, which was seen in Pokémon Paparazzi.
Fossils of Kabutops and Aerodactyl were resurrected by Annie and Oakley in Pokémon Heroes; in the English dub, they were once used by an evil Pokémon Trainer to torment the civilians of Alto Mare, but were drowned when a Latios brought water to the city. They were sent to chase after Ash and Latias.
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 Dodrio, and of course the Aerodactyl who sent the two Rockets flying with a Hyper Beam.
Another Aerodactyl appeared in Wild in the Streets, where it terrorized Oreburgh City after being revived from its fossil state.
In the manga
Pokémon Special
Red obtains an Aerodactyl from a resurrected piece of Old Amber. He has since then used it extensively for aerial transport and combat.
