Pokemon GO: Mega Aerodactyl Raid Guide (Weaknesses, Counters, & More)

In Pokemon GO, Raid bosses are rotated frequently as part of the constant events that come and pass through the game. Because Raid Bosses only tend to be available for short periods of time before rotating back out as a featured encounter, Trainers often need to take steps to prepare for these fights ahead of time. This way, they can give themselves the best chance at success when it comes to defeating and capturing the Raid beast.

Mega Aerodactyl is one of the various Pokemon known to rotate in and out of Mega Raids, with the most recent arrival being during the dates of August 3 - August 12. If players are looking to take on this fearsome Pokemon in Raids and potentially capture it afterward, then they can find all of the information to help themselves get started in the guide below.

Pokemon GO: Mega Aerodactyl Weakness & Resistances

In Pokemon GO Mega Aerodactyl has a Dual-Typing of Rock and Flying. With this Type combination, Mega Aerodactyl is resistant to Bug, Fire, Flying, Ground, Normal, and Poison Type Pokemon or moves, so Trainers should avoid picking team members with these attributes to avoid putting themselves at any disadvantage.

However, Mega Aerodactyl also has key weaknesses against Pokemon or strong moves of the R ock, Ice, Electric, Steel, and Water Types. Instead, Trainers should look to utilize teams of Pokemon that share these Types, as they will deal additional damage to Mega Aerodactyl, and have the best chance of taking it down efficiently.
