Goh's Aerodactyl.
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
- Aerodactyl is the only Rock type Pokémon from Generation I that does not have a double weakness to the Grass type.
- 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.
- A genus of pterosaurs was named Aerodactylus after this Pokémon.
- Unlike real pterosaurs, 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. Its grayish-purple color, pointed tail, and draconic features may be in reference to Ridley, a recurring boss from the Metroid series who takes the form of a purple pterosaur-like dragon with a spear-like tail.
Etymology
Aerodactyl is a portmanteau of aero (meaning air) and Pterodactylus (a genus of pterosaurs popularly known as "pterodactyls").
Its Japanese name, Putera, comes from ptera (Greek for wing) and pterosaur.
