Physiology

Aerodactyl is from the prehistoric age and because of this its name and physical characteristics are based on that of a pterodactyl. This Pokémon was restored from a piece of fossilized amber.

Behavior

Aerodactyl has a vicious temperament and flies without fear through the sky. It is said that Aerodactyl ruled the skies in its ancient world. When incensed, it can use its extremely sharp and serrated saw blade-like teeth to attack.

Anime

Oakley's Aerodactyl

Oakley's Aerodactyl in the anime.

Aerodactyl made its anime debut in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon where it took Ash Ketchum away.

A large, fossilized Aerodactyl was resurrected with the power of Soul Dew by Annie and Oakley along with a large Kabutops in Pokémon Heroes, using Hyper Beam to attack Ash and Latias.

Trivia

  • It is the only fossilized Pokémon that does not have any evolutions.
  • Aerodactyl is the only Rock-type Generation 1 Pokémon that doesn't take 4 times the amount of damage from a Grass-type attack.
  • According to the Official Pokémon X and Y website, researchers believe Mega Aerodactyl may be the true form of Aerodactyl.
  • Aerodactyl and Vileplume had the same cry up until Generation VI.
  • Aerodactyl is the only Fossil Pokémon with a Mega Evolution and the only Fossil Pokémon without a normal Evolution.
  • It is the only Generation I Fossil Pokémon that isn't part Water-type.
  • A genus of pterosaurs was named Aerodactylus after this Pokémon.
  • Aerodactyl's English name has been criticized for being redundant as pterosaurs were already able to fly.
  • Unlike real pterosaursc Aerodactyl has bat-like wings and can completely bend its limbs.
  • It is the only fossil Pokémon that is restored from a sample of DNA in a different source rather than the actual fossil.

Origin

Aerodactyl is based on a pterosaur with some features of dragons.

Name origin

Aerodactyl is a portmanteau if "aero", meaning air, and "pterodactyl".
