==Biology==
==Biology==
Aerodactyl is a reptilian, bipedal Pokémon with large, membranous wings. It has sharply pointed ears and a fierce expression with intense eyes. Its snout is ridged, with a gaping mouth and strong lower jaw full of serrated fangs. Its body is covered in light violet-gray skin with violet wings. 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 bend of each wing allow it to grasp objects. A hump-like ridge grows from its back and it has a strong, arrow-tipped tail. Its talon-like feet are capable of scooping up and tightly clutching its prey in flight.
Aerodactyl is a {{wp|reptile|reptilian}}, bipedal prehistoric {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|pterosaur}} with several draconic features. It has small sharply pointed ears, narrow dark green eyes, a ridged snout, a gaping mouth, and a strong lower jaw full of serrated fangs. Its body is covered in light blue-gray skin and it has large, violet membranous wings. 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 saw-like fangs and ferocious attitude were very imposing in its time. Its fangs can rip out throats and tear through the skin of any Pokémon to pieces, even {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. By spreading its wings, Aerodactyl is believed to have flown by gliding through the skies, freely letting out its high-pitched cries. However, it is slow to walk on land. It liked to nest in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|mountains}}, where it enjoyed both safety and seclusion. Aerodactyl lived in prehistoric times, and was theorized to become extinct thanks to a giant meteor impact. It was restored in modern times using genetic material extracted from amber; some casualties occurred during these attempts. Even still, this restoration is not considered perfect.


When Aerodactyl Mega Evolves, its body begins to turn to stone, which some researchers claim is its original appearance before fossilization.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Aerodactyl</ref> It grows larger in size and sprouts jagged black spikes all over its body. There are five spikes at the wrist joint of each wing, replacing its hands. Three small spikes grow along the tail, and the spine on its back has become large and stony. The rear talons of the feet have also turned black. Its chin and ears are each decorated with a large spike, with rocky plates marking its eyebrows and the corners of its jaw. Similar stone ornaments are present on its chest on its torso: two small marks flanking a longer mark. Its irises have changed to a dark green color.
===Forms===
Aerodactyl can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Aerodactyl.


Due to the sharp appearance of Aerodactyl's fangs, it was originally thought to be exclusively a {{wp|carnivore}}. However, [[SS015|the anime]] shows it joyfully consuming fruit. Its serrated fangs and ferocious attitude are nevertheless very imposing, and it is said to be capable of effortlessly ripping out enemies' throats. With its impressive wings, Aerodactyl fearlessly soars high in the skies, freely letting out its high-pitched cries. When at rest it enjoys the safety and seclusion of the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|mountains}} where it likes to nest. Aerodactyl is extant using Fossil revitalization, but is considered extinct in the wild.
As Mega Aerodactyl, its eyes turn bright green and parts of its body turn to stone, which some researchers believe to be its original appearance before fossilization. It grows larger and sprouts jagged black spiky rocks 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.  


==In the anime==
The power of [[Mega Evolution]] allows some of Aerodactyl's dormant genes to reawaken. The rocks on Mega Aerodactyl's body are harder than diamond. 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.

Aerodactyl first appeared in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It scared off the other [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon that were chasing {{Ash}} and {{TRT}}. It then kidnapped the young {{pkmn|Trainer}}, who was rescued by {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|Sing|song}}. {{Todd}} took a photo of this Aerodactyl, which was seen in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''. The same Aerodactyl appeared in a flashback in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

Fossils of {{p|Kabutops}} and Aerodactyl were resurrected by {{OBP|Annie|M05}} and [[Oakley]] in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]''; 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 {{p|Latios}} brought water to the city. They were sent to chase after Ash and {{mov|Latias|Latias|5}}. They have blank, yellow-tinted eyes with no pupils and are lined with a thick black outline.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Goh's Aerodactyl]]=====
In ''[[JN038|Restore and Renew!]]'', [[Goh]] found an [[Old Amber]] in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], which was revived into an {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Aerodactyl}} due to Team Rocket's intervention. It went berserk as a result, but Goh caught it after calming it down.
====Other====
Aerodactyl debuted in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', where it scared off the other [[Kanto]]nian Fossil Pokémon that were chasing {{Ash}} and {{TRT}}. It then kidnapped Ash, who was rescued by {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|Sing|song}}. {{Todd}} took a photo of this Aerodactyl, which was seen in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Aerodactyl was the inspiration for the naming of ''{{wp|Aerodactylus}}'', a genus of pterosaurs. It is thus the only [[Fossil]] Pokémon to have a genus named after it.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Aerodactyl was revived using a Wing Fossil, which formed a trio with the [[Helix Fossil]] and [[Dome Fossil]].
* Aerodactyl is the only Fossil Pokémon that does not have an evolution or pre-evolution, instead having a [[Mega Evolution]].
* Aerodactyl shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Arctovish}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Dracozolt}}. They are all known as the Fossil Pokémon.
** It is also the only Fossil Pokémon that can be obtained in any way other than breeding, reviving its Fossil or from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}: it is available through an [[in-game trade]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and is one of [[Hayley's trades]].
* Aerodactyl was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Aerodactylus}}'', a genus of {{wp|pterosaur}}s. The genus name was chosen in reference to Aerodactyl having traits derived from various pterosaur species.<ref>Vidovic, S. U. & Martill, D. M. (2014). "[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4206445/ ''Pterodactylus scolopaciceps'' Meyer, 1860 (Pterosauria, Pterodactyloidea) from the Upper Jurassic of Bavaria, Germany: The Problem of Cryptic Pterosaur Taxa in Early Ontogeny]". PLOS ONE. 9 (10): e110646.</ref>
*** The trade in [[Generation II]] was removed in {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, likely due to the fact that the [[Old Amber]] could be obtained and revived in these games, unlike in Generation II.
* Aerodactyl is the only Fossil Pokémon with a [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form.
** Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it was also the only Fossil Pokémon that can be obtained in any way other than breeding, reviving its Fossil, or from the {{pkmn|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 {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, likely because the [[Old Amber]] could be obtained and revived in these games, unlike in Generation II.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Aerodactyl was originally known as "Ptera", its Japanese name.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|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 {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon nor a Pokémon belonging to the {{egg|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 [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, as well as suggesting why its appearance is influenced by that of {{wp|wyvern}}s.
* Mega Aerodactyl has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.
* Mega Aerodactyl has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.
* Mega Aerodactyl has the highest base stat total of all Fossil Pokémon.
* During its first appearance in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', it was implied that Aerodactyl was carnivorous, based on its teeth (and the reactions of the other Fossil Pokémon when it arrived). However, in ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', it is shown and proven to be at least omnivorous, based on its joyful consumption of fruit.
* Aerodactyl is one of four non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon available in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]. The others are {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}.
* Aerodactyl is one of four non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon available in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]. The others are {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|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 {{type|Grass}} moves.
* Aerodactyl is the first Fossil Pokémon to have its {{pkmn|Egg}} shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* In the ''[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]'', Aerodactyl was stated to be the predecessor of birds. This, alongside many facts in the book, would be retconned by future content in the games, specifically by the introduction of [[Archeops]].


===Origin===
===Origin===
Aerodactyl's design is mostly based on {{wp|Rhamphorhynchidae|rhamphorhynchid}} pterosaurs, but its pointed wings, spaded tail, and robust jaws also make it resemble a {{wp|Dragon|dragon}}, specifically {{wp|Wyvern|wyverns}}.
Aerodactyl's design is mostly based on {{wp|Pterodactyloidea|pterodactyloids}}, a family of {{wp|pterosaur}}s that lived in the {{wp|Jurassic}} period. Its long tail, however, is derived from {{wp|Rhamphorhynchoidea|rhamphorhynchids}}. Additionally, its pointed wings, spaded tail, and robust jaws give it the resemblance of a {{wp|dragon}}, specifically {{wp|wyvern}}s.
 
The rocks that appear on Mega Aerodactyl's body is a reference to {{wp|atavism}} whereby an ancestral genetic trait reappears after having been lost through evolutionary change in previous generations. The rock on Mega Aerodactyl's chin is similar to {{wp|goatee}}.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
