Appearance

Aerodactyl is from the prehistoric age, and because of this its name and physical characteristics are based on that of a Template:WP.

Origins

Name Origin

Its name is composed of two parts; "aero", meaning related to the atmosphere, and "dactyl", the second part of the name Pteradactyl.

Trivia

It is the only fossilized Pokémon that does not have any evolutions.
Aerodactyl is one of only 3 Rock/Flying types. Coincidentally, they are all fossil Pokémon.
In the games, it is one of the three Pokémon Lance has that is not a Dragon-type, the others being Gyarados and Charizard.
- Strangely, they are all Flying-types.
- Of them, Aerodactyl is the only that isn't a main Starter type.
  - This is due to the fact that Aerodactyl is a Fossil Pokémon and all Fossil Pokémon are Rock-types.
- Aerodactyl is the only one that is weak against Steel-type moves.
Aerodactyl is the only Rock-type Generation 1 Pokémon that doesn't take 4 times the amount of damage from a Grass-type attack.
Aerodactyl's cry is the same as Vileplume's.
