move 1: Head Smash
move 2: Brave Bird

move 4: Earthquake / Fire Fang / Toxic
item: Choice Band
ability: Rock Head
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Aerodactyl is a very threatening wallbreaker with its high-powered STAB attacks in Head Smash and Brave Bird that come with no drawbacks thanks to Rock Head. Accelerock lets Aerodactyl revenge kill faster Pokemon like Zeraora, Choice Scarf users like Latios, Hydreigon, and Rotom-W, as well as faster setup sweepers like Salamence, Gyarados, and Dracozolt. It's also useful in beating other, slower priority users that may try to revenge kill Aerodactyl. Earthquake ensures an OHKO versus Heatran and good damage on Toxapex and Tyranitar. Fire Fang does the most damage versus Ferrothorn, and Toxic whittles down checks like Mudsdale and Seismitoad over time. Many offensive Pokemon, like Zeraora and Cinderace, appreciate the huge amounts of damage Aerodactyl can force onto walls like Ferrothorn and Mudsdale. Delayed moves like Future Sight and Doom Desire from Slowking and Heatran add an extra oomph to its attacks which net it OHKOs easier. Entry hazard support from Ferrothorn and Seismitoad also helps it secure more KOs. Aerodactyl's Stealth Rock weakness makes entry hazard removal like Clefable and Corviknight solid to use alongside it. Knock Off support to remove Rocky Helmet from checks like Mudsdale and Corviknight, as well as pivots that can bring Aerodactyl in safely, like Toxapex and Tornadus-T, can keep it healthy.
