Everything we know about Aerodactyl

Aerodactyl is a Gen 1 Pokémon which, in the mainline Pokémon games, is often obtained by reviving a piece of Old Amber at certain labs dotted across the world of Pokémon.

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!
