Aerodactyl Raid Guide

Aerodactyl

Aerodactyl is a Tier 3 Raid Boss in Pokémon GO and its counters are heavily based on a variety of Electric, Ice, Rock, Steel, and Water types that deal super effective damage and utilize its type weaknesses.

This Fossil Pokémon is a good addition to PvP, particularly in limited cup metas, and also has a strong Mega Evolution to boot.

Aerodactyl can be caught with the following CP values:

• 1515 – 1590 CP, no weather boost
• 1894 – 1988 CP, during Partly Cloudy or Windy weather

This Raid Boss can be easily defeated by 2 Trainers and can successfully be soloed due to its relatively low defense and variety of available counters.

Aerodactyl is a relatively easy fight, with very few moves that you should be afraid of. More interestingly, a fair chunk of Aerodactyl counters doesn’t take increased damage from his moves – quite the contrary!
