After reading all of this, I can't believe Smogon would make Aerodactyl UU... it functions as an OU lead very well! |
Remember, just because it is now UU, doesn't mean it is bad in OU. Weezing makes a great OU wall,still. However, it's UU that needed it more, since fighting pokemon run rampant. Same with Aero.

i'm a fan of the taunt variant but instead of eq i run a grip of special attack evs with flamethrower/fire blast. throws skarm, bronzong and forretress a new one. can be pretty useful against stupid magnet rise magnezone. i know, sounds crazily stupid but it's come in handy tons.

I second Samson...*stares at Ooka for Fire Blasting my Forretress*
D_A, why must you somehow implement Curse into all of your Pokemon? I guess it's time for something like Curse Jolteon and see if you can make something for that ^^ Aerodactyl's recent movement to UU has created a big impact on that metagame...It's EVERYWHERE! I see it leading with SR every game, and its variability makes it deadly in all terms, except for special attacks of course. It has enough to Fire Blast the likes of Forretress, Skarmory, Leafeon, and such, however. This movement to UU hasn't really affected its use in OU, making it the 2nd quickest user of Stealth Rock + Taunt. Its STAB on Stone Edge, coupled with non-STAB Earthquake, gives it good coverage. lack of a good STAB Flying move for Aerodactyl hurts it some. STAB Aerial Ace does less than its non-STAB Earthquake. If it got Brave Bird, then it would destroy the UU metagame as well. Also, even though it's a rock-type, it takes 25% damage from Stealth Rock, making its opportunities of switching in become limited. Also, its defenses aren't that great *Stares at D_A* ...Without a Curse or Sandstorm helping it. It gets laughed at by other Rock-types for those defenses, but Aero laughs back at being one of the quickest Pokemon in the game with good coverage and the stats to use them. |
