Pokemon GO Mega Aerodactyl Weaknesses

One of the most significant advantages of fighting a Mega Aerodactyl in Pokemon GO is its weaknesses. For starters, Mega Aerodactyl is a Rock and Flying-type Pokemon. As such, while Aerodactyl has its strengths, this Pokemon has many more weaknesses.

So, if you are fighting against Mega Aerodactyl, you can use anyElectric,Ice,Rock,Steel, orWater-type Pokemon.Furthermore, try not to bring over any Pokemon withNormal, Flying, Rock, Poison, or Fire. These Pokemon directly act as a resistance to this Pokemon, so avoid them altogether.

Hence, remember these when fighting Mega Aerodactyl for the first time in a gym during the raid hours.

Now that we understand Mega Aerodactyl’s weaknesses, it’s time to find some good counters. Here are the best counters you should bring to the fight when encountering Mega Aerodactyl:

The best way to deal with this Pokemon in the mega raid is to bring any strong Pokemon belonging to its weaknesses. I considered includingSwampert, Blastoise, or Xurkitree in the team. But if you don’t have these Pokemon, bring over any strong Pokemon belonging to Mega Aerodactyl’s weaknesses.

Remember that you cannot catch Mega Aerodactyl directly in Pokemon GO mega raids. You must use aRaid Passto participate in the Mega Aerodactyl mega raid. Also, this is not a solo mission—invite your friends to join the battle. A united team will deal more damage and increase your chances of success.

After defeating the Mega Aerodactyl, you’ll receive a bonus encounter with an Aerodactyl. Additionally, you’ll also receive Mega Energy. Once you have 200 Mega Energy, you can evolve your Aerodactyl into the formidable Mega Aerodactyl.
