Please buff Aerodactyl...

I think it's a very cool pokemon and has a unique typing with rock and flying. It does have many weaknesses such as water and electric but it would be good if Niantic can buff its attack and defence stats. I have a 1879CP Aerodactyl at 15 11 15 ivs with steel wing and ancient power and I got it around October 2017 when I was starting the game, it was the pokemon that kept me going because it looked so frigging badass and cool. Please buff it!

Aerodactyl doesn't need a stat buff. It just needs usable moves.

Wing Attack/Sky Attack and Smack Down/Rock Slide would be awesome movesets that Aerodactyl could get.

Aerodactyl has a plethora of amazing STAB moves in the main series, many of which are actually in PoGo. Why he got none of them is a mystery only Niantic can solve.

Rock flying isnt a unique type anymore, gen 5 has archen and archeops, and gen 7 has minior, both have the same type combination, with archeops having much superior stats.

Wish they'd buff aerodactyl too, got a 98% raid catch (m first successful solo) been wanting an excuse to power It up. Maybe niantic just forgot about it

Can you stfu with your "there is x pokemon on gen 53 that's better then your pokemon" comments...

I believe there could have been a more appropriate way to say this.

We've tried.

I just wish niantic give it a good moveset. Cool pokemon, actually has a good base stats already

Hi JeffWhale811,
Niantic here. Just read your compelling arguments to buff it; say no more we will buff its attack and defence stats. Thanks Jeff!

Also, I have this Pidgey that has 100% stats, so Niantic, could you please make Pidgey's stats better? How about 250 Stamina, 350 Attack and 300 Defense. That seems fair. Oh, and give it Pound and Wing attack, Sky Attack, Double Hyperbeam (same as Hyperbeam but does 300 base damage) and Mud Shot and Precipice Blades too.

My 100% Dugtrio is also waiting for a huge buff. Precipice blades ftw.

Aerodactyl is a symbol of Niantic stupidity to be fair.

"Aerodactyl is a symbol of Niantic stupidity to be fair. "
Then let's hope it stays crap so we can use this symbol. From now on let's tag every complaint about weird/senseless decisions from Niantic with #AerodactylCurse and make a good emoji after that ^^

I'd like to see Aerodactyl have better moves, but that symbol idea seems even more fun to me!
