what beats aerodactyl pokemon go

You beat Aerodactyl in Pokémon GO by exploiting its Rock/Flying typing, which makes it vulnerable to several common attacking types.

Quick Scoop

Aerodactyl is weak to:

  • Electric-type moves.
  • Water-type moves.
  • Rock-type moves (this is usually the strongest option because it’s a double weakness from Rock/Flying).
  • Ice-type moves.
  • Steel-type moves.

It resists:

  • Bug, Fire, Flying, Ground, Normal, and Poison moves, so avoid relying on those when you can.

Examples of good counters

Some strong Pokémon (or types) that tend to perform well against Aerodactyl include:

  • Powerful Rock attackers (for example, Rock-type Pokémon with fast Rock moves and rock-charged moves).
  • Bulky Water legendaries or pseudo-legendaries with strong Water charged moves.
  • High-attack Electric or Steel Pokémon with top-tier moves in those types.

In practice, if you just remember “hit Aerodactyl with Rock, Water, Electric, Ice, or Steel and avoid Bug/Fire/Flying/Ground/Normal/Poison,” you’ll be in a very good spot in raids or PvP.
