Aerodactyl
I just looked at Aerodactyl on Marriland and I thought it would have 3 weaknesses but it has 5. I don't see how rock or electricity could be super effective though. I need something that covers these weaknesses.
The attacks I have atm are pretty useless, but it is level 1.. I plan to teach it: Flamethrower Thunder Fang Earthquake Stealth Rock How could I improve this? |
Try replacing Flamethrower with Stone Edge. If you REALLY need a Fire attack, Fire Fang. Aerodactyl's sp.atk is far too low to try Flamethrower
|
Every Pokemon has a weakness, some more than others, but Aerodactyl is definitely worth keeping because it has very high attack and speed. This is what I use:
Jolly [email protected] Band Trait: Pressure EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Defense Aerial Ace Crunch Earthquake Stone Edge |
After 20 eggs I still didn't have a jolly Aerodactyl, so I had to settle with naive. I hope that doesn't affect it too much.
It knows pressure, but where do I get focus band from? |

Ok where do I get that then??
And I just bought 10 carbos for Aerodactyl and he won't take any. Why?? |

Also if you partially EV trained it first. Carbos must be applied BEFORE ev training. Focus Sash is obtained on route 221 (Pal Park route) theres a guy in a hut near the water, he asks for a pokemon of a certain level each day, on the first day if you show him the level he requests, he gives a Blckbelt, on the second day he gives an expert belt and on the third day he gives focus sash. |
I've only been fighting Starleys and Staravias..
Is it important to add the carbos first? Should I start again? |
Only if you were recording. Carbos & all vitamins can only bring EV's to 100. If you are past 100, they have no use. However, if you didn't record, then you have no idea how many EV it has, which is bad. In that case, you must start over.
By record, I mean tto write down all ev's your getting. Write em' down. |

Just remember next time if you want to give it drugs ,do it Before you start battling pokemon, because after the drugs you only have to do 152 more evs yourself. Anways, as long as youve kept track of the EV 's you should be fine, as you can do it all yourself. |
Exactly. If ya don't keep track, you must start over.
|
I'll have to start again.
Atleast I can try and get a jolly Aerodactyl this time.. So I need to record which pokemon I killed and how many of them? |
Each Pokemon gives out EV's of a certain stat, if you want to EV train in speed, you can go to Victory Road and surf and battle tons of G0lbat, which give you 2 speed EV's.
|
How will I know when they are maxed out though?
I got a jolly Aerodactyl with pressure =) But I didn't get focus sash from that guy.. He wanted to see a level 68 if it makes a difference.. |
My Aerodactyl is used for Stealth Rock in the beginning, or avoiding Dugtrio traps.
Aerodactyl EV's: 252ATK/252SPD Nature: Jolly Item: Focus Sash Moves: -Stealth Rock -Crunch -Earthquake -Stone Edge |
How about:
Aerodactyl-Life Orb Rock Head Jolly Evs:252 ATTK/252 SPD -Stone Edge -Double Edge -Thunder Fang/Fire Fang -Aerial Ace/Earthquake With Rock Head no recoil damage is recieved. |
I have killed 35 Starlys and I have used 10 calciums, I haven't killed anything else except the Starlys and I started at level 1.
How many speed EVs do I have?? |

35 Starly means 35 EVs in Speed, without knowing if you used the Macho Brace, Power Item or Pokerus.
Also why did you give Aerodactyl Calcium? Aerodactyl is made to physically sweep, not rely on Special Attack |
I mean carbos o_o..
So when i've killed 155 Starlys or equivelent to that, I try to get attack EVs?? |

As for the dact. Make sure you have stone edge. |

Anyways... Aerodactyl. You'll really want to breed for a Jolly nature. Much like people criticize Starmie's dull 100 base Special Attack, I'll say that Aerodactyl doesn't have as amazing Attack as he seems (105 base). The only thing really going for him is his utterly insane Speed. Here's my opinion for a moveset: - Stone Edge - Earthquake - Crunch - Stealth Rock The notorious lead of Cema. Perhaps more notorious than my Spiritomb lead. Fix him with a Focus Sash in case you can't get an OHKO or a KO, and then throw a quick Stealth Rock out before he himself is KOed. Crunch is enough to OHKO things like Gengar or Starmie leads, (barring Focus Sash of their own), and will OHKO Alakazam (although, someone would have to be crazy to send Alakazam in against Aero without a Choice Scarf), Stone Edge is for STAB, and Earthquake basically hits everything that resists Stone Edge. Aerodactyl can survive a lot longer with common sense; if something fragile is sent in against it (like Alakazam or Gengar), you've gotta assume it's a Choice Scarf Pokemon. And if Aero is already injured (thus rendering Focus Sash useless), it's best to switch out to a wall in order to play it safe. That's why I'll always Drill Peck an Aerodactyl, even if it resists it, it still makes him a lot less scary being able to be OHKOed. Sorry for the long, long response. Aerodactyl is an awesome Pokemon, and I know from experience the kind of havoc it can wreck if you don't know how to handle it. |
I'm not entirely sure if I know what a wall is.
But would Blissey make a good wall? I would prefer Snorlax, but i'm clueless as to how honey trees work.. |
