Strategy & play
How Aerodactyl plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Fly) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
- Fighting type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥30 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Mysterious Fossil; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
How to beat Aerodactyl
- Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥30 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

About this card
"A vicious Pokémon from the distant past, it appears to have flown by spreading its wings and gliding."
Pokémon Power: Prehistoric Memory
Whenever an Evolved Pokémon attacks (even if it's your opponent's), it can use any attack from its Basic Pokémon card or any Evolution card attached to it. It still has to pay for that attack's Energy cost. This power stops working while Aerodactyl is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
CCCFly — 30
Flip a coin. If heads, during your opponent's next turn, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Aerodactyl. If tails, this attack does nothing (not even damage).
Weakness:G×2
Resistance:F-30
Retreat cost:CC

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Aerodactyl is real?
Aerodactyl is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
