Its Ability

Ancient Wind

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Aerodactyl is your Active Pokémon, you may ignore all Poké-Bodies until the end of your turn. This power can't be used if Aerodactyl is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Rising Lunge

20+

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage plus 20 more damage.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Ancient Wind. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 4,126 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,126 tournament lists we have read, 1,619 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
