Most aerodactyl leads get countered by forretress and starmie leads so i wanted to check if there is a way to counter the 2 above and manage to setup so i tried this moveset it worked well

Move 1: Stealth Rock
Move 2: Taunt
Move 3: Fire Blast
Move 4: Crunch
Item: Focus Sash
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Naive

[Set Comments]
This build allows aerodactyl to OHKO Physically defensive Forretress and 2HKO specially defensive forretress with Fire Blast and it also allows Aerodactyl to 2HKO starmie with crunch (also OHKO scizor with fire blast but u shouldnt rely on it coz if u miss he will ko u without u setting up)
and then can setup stealth rock after the rapid spinner leads are dead.
 
So this is an anti-lead that checks two leads? This is way too situational and I'd rather get EdgeQuake coverage. Jolly 252 Atk Stone Edge + Earthquake is a 2HKO every time on LO Starmie, and there are much better ways to get rid of Forretress than wasting a slot on Fire Blast (see: a Fire attack with something with more than 60 base SpA).
 
lol this is terrible. special defense forry will live a fire blast from this spread and still rapid spin away. (93.1% max)

so i dont really see what it accomplishes.

starmie also lives. (69% max) nice set. %__%

bulkier spinner starmie will actually beat this set.

if you really want something to beat rapid spinners, try using a ghost-type.
 
No you can easily set up first given Aerodactyl's speed and go into a spin blocker..simple. Making a set that takes care of 2 specific doesn't give it reason enough to be onsite. Also 905 of Forretress leads are specially defensive, some holding occa berry. Also i don't think a good player would keep Starmie in on turn 2 given they seen you crunch..
 
This is quite a gimmicky set... Made just to get rid of Starmie and Forretress? Sure it can work a couple of times with some luck, but then what?

I'm sorry, I adamantly consider this isn't effective at all, and I'm gonna take the liberty of locking this thread right now. Feel free to try again in the future with a more serious and effective proposition.
