MetaMons competitive notes
Aerodactyl is a rock/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 515 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 130) and a physical attacking profile. Its Rock Head 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 Aerodactyl. Build around what 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.
