To obtain Mega Aerodactyl, you need to defeat the Pokémon in mega raids to collect its specific Mega Energy. Once you have the correct amount, you’ll be able to enact its evolution for a short time. Below you’ll find Mega Aerodactyl’s counters and weaknesses to help you defeat it and, don’t forget, Remote Raid passes allow you to join mega raids from across the world. On this page:
Mega Aerodactyl type - Rock and flying-type Mega Aerodactyl is weak against - Electric, ice, rock, steel and water-types Mega Aerodactyl counters - Raikou, Swampert, Metagross, Kyogre, Empoleon, Rhyperior, Dialga, Terrakion and Zekrom Other Mega Aerodactyl notes - For the non-legendary Pokémon, it’s a good idea to use an Elite TM to ensure they have a set of powerful attacks.
The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season. Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
Mega Aerodactyl CP - 56399
Winning this raid will reward you with Mega Aerodactyl Energy rather than an encounter with Aerodactyl, which is why Mega Aerodactyl doesn’t have any catch-related CP levels for mega raids.
The Aerodactyl you receive, however, is not the Pokémon in its true form. If you wish to see how Aerodactyl looked in the prehistoric era, then you need to conduct its Mega Evolution. Doing so will cause rocks to sprout across Aerodactyl’s body, emphasising its draconic appearance.
Aerodactyl is inspired by both dragons and a type of dinosaur known as Pterosaurs. Palaeontologists would later look to Aerodactyl for inspiration when naming a pterosaur genus - Aerodactylus.
Good luck battling Mega Aerodactyl!
