Mega Aerodactyl is a rock/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 615 BST it is a legendary-grade total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 150) and a physical attacking profile. Its Tough Claws ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Mega Aerodactyl. Build around what Mega Aerodactyl actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
