Aerodactyl @ Expert Belt / Lum Berry
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Coil
- Head Smash
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz / Wood Hammer

This set is a bit different from the one above and started out merely a means to slay weather starters. I was impressed that it actually managed a few sweeps on its own. Max Speed allows you to outrun opposing Aerodactyl and other Base 130s. Head Smash is your strongest STAB and Brave Bird is for OHKOing Machamp and Machoke. The next move is a matter of coverage. Wood Hammer hits the 3 main weather starters Super Effectively. With SR, it OHKOs 252/196+ Kyogre, 252/0 Groudon, and Tyranitar while nailing Rhydon and Golem. Flare Blitz has better coverage, notably against Jirachi and Skarmory, while recieving pSTAB in the sun.
The calcs assume Expert Belt but you can run Lum if you dont think Spore is a problem. You will miss out on crucial OHKOs, most notably Machoke and weahter starters, though you can still get Machoke with Spikes.

And here I was planning on making the first Aerodactyl post. Guess I'll find something else to test now.

One comment I have on the above set is to run 4 Def over 4 HP. It gives you an odd HP number so you can switch into SR more. (Not that you should be doing that too much but at least if you switch in once you can switch in again.)
