How to get Mega Aerodactyl

When defeated, Mega Aerodactyl will revert to normal Aerodactyl. Aerodactyl can be caught with the following CP values:

• 1515 CP – 1590 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
• 1894 CP – 1988 CP at Level 25 with Partly Cloudy or Windy weather boost

In order to get Mega Aerodactly you will need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution, then 40 Mega Energy to evolve the same Aerodactyl again in the future. If you wait for their ‘cooldown’ period to end, Mega Evolution is free. This cooldown period is shorter the higher mega level your Mega Pokémon is. Mega Energy can be obtained via Mega Aerodactyl Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Aerodactly, you can earn 5 Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Aerodactyl to earn Mega Energy, as long as you have previously evolved one to register it to your Mega Pokédex.
