Powercreep, but I still used it with some success in Gen 6 OU with AV Pursuit.

Quoted By:

It's halfway decent in the VGC metaa it's allowed in. Tailwind, Wide Guard, Sky Drop, and a super fast Rock Slide. There's no reason to mega evolve it, though, since Sash is pretty much mandatory on it.

UU is good looking at where the other fossilmons stand. If it had Brave Bird it could've been OU perhaps. Archeops has potential as well if it wasn't for its ability.

Because it's incapable of defeating a healthy arcanine

It'll be good once it gets Brave Bird and/or Head Smash.

Power creep killed it.

Aerodactyl's tier history

Gen 1: UU
Gen 2: UUBL
Gen 3: OU (due to Choice Band being introduced in this gen)
Gen 4: OU (Stealth Rock was introduced in this gen, and Aerodactyl was used as a suicide lead)
Gen 5: RU (Team Preview means that suicide leads are dead)
Gen 6: RU, Mega is UU
Gen 7: NU, Mega is UU

Kind of awkward situation with STABS. it's a Pokemon whose kit feels half finished.
Fast frail attacker who takes no damage from recoil moves yet its only recoil move is Double Edge

Aerodactyl was a bit of an annoying bitch in gen 3. Nothing game breaking, but, fast as fuck fucker with nice STAB.
