This is my first peer edit, but that doesn't really matter. Anyways, this is a pretty cool set that I made a long time ago (before SubRoost Zapdos was being used) but it didn't really get much attention. However, it actually works pretty well and can stall your opponent to no end.

<p>Although once known only as a Choice Bander, Aerodactyl is now finding more and more niches in today's shifting metagame. Among these is the SubRoost set, similar in play to the Zapdos set by the same name. However, Aerodactyl has a few tricks up its sleeve, namely its superior Speed and the Special Defense boost it receives in a Sandstorm.</p>
<p>With Pressure, Substitute, Protect, and Roost, Aerodactyl is able to quickly deplete many of its would-be counters precious PP (such as Bronzong's Gyro Ball), and can then either stall it out or force the opponent to switch around, which is why this set works great with Toxic Spikes and Stealth Rock set up. Rock Slide provides a generic STAB move to use, and although Stone Edge would be preferrable, it doesn't have enough PP, and Rock Slide's 30% chance of flinching may come in handy once in while.</p>
<p>If the possibility of being phazed out by Swampert or another similar Pokemon is too much for you to handle, Whirlwind may be used over Protect. Not only does it allow you to phaze out a slower counter that can't deal much damage, but it also lets you scout switches and phaze away anything that tries to set up on you.</p>
<p>The EVs provide Aerodactyl with 321 HP (a good number for Leftovers + 1), 224 Special Defense, which gets boosted to 336 in Sandstorm, and 374 Speed, allowing you to outspeed all base 120 Speed Pokemon. For Rock Slide's sake, the rest go into Attack, although they could easily be placed in HP, Defense, or Special Defense, depending on how defensive you want Aerodactyl to be.</p>
