Aerodactyl!
Overview
Aerodactyl is a really cool and fast Physical Sweeper. Having a massive 130 base Speed and followed by a solid 105 base Attack stat, he can do a lot of damage to teams not prepared for it.
The generation shift has really improved Aerodactyl. Losing Hidden Power Flying but gaining moves like Crunch, Pursuit, Dragon Claw and the new Elemental Fangs. So his movepool can be different but it's still powerful.
Trait
Rock Head: is a good choice that should only be used when you are using Double Edge. It stops the Recoil Damage you'll get but it's only used for that reason.
Pressure: is probably the best one you can use. Making them use 2 PP instead of 1 can help but Aerodactyl will be too busy Sweeping to use this well.
Type: Rock/Flying
Trait: Pressure
Nature: Jolly
Item: Choice Band
EVs: 252 Att / 252 Spd / 6 Sp.Def
Moves:
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Ice Fang
Thunder Fang / Pursuit / Crunch
Stone Edge and Earthquake are necessary moves to deal the most damage. Ice Fang is a golden attack to KO other annoying slower dragons. Now the last move is up for choice. Thunder Fang hits Skarmory hard and it also hits Gyarados hard. Pursuit hits Pokemon that are going to run away really hard. Crunch is for normal sweeping stuff.
EVs and Natures
252/252 is always the way to go. 6 into Sp.Def for Sandstorm abuse.
Jolly since you have Choice Band but Adamant if you want more Power. Jolly is to out run slightly slower Pokemon like Alakazam and Weavile.
Opinion
I love Aerodactyl This set really does him quite well.
Rating:
I rate this set a 9/10 because it does great power but it can be walled really easily.
