Strategy Overview
Aerodactyl is the fastest user of Tailwind and the fastest support Pokemon in the metagame. However, it faces competition from other Tailwind users that possess more bulk, such as Togekiss and Suicune, with Aerodactyl's niches over them being its blistering Speed, its ability to disrupt teams with Sky Drop, and its ability to check Mega Charizard Y. Aerodactyl's weaknesses to many common types and its low bulk make it reliant on its Focus Sash. Aerodactyl is also checked by common Pokemon in the metagame, such as Choice Scarf Landorus-T and Rotom-W, as well as weather teams. Aerodactyl's Attack isn't the highest, so it is severely crippled by Intimidate and Will-O-Wisp.
