[SET COMMENTS]

Dragon Dance allows Aerodactyl to function as a dangerous setup sweeper. One boost from Dragon Dance lets Aerodactyl OHKO many threats like Zarude and Zygarde-10% while being faster than most Choice Scarf users, including Zarude and Mienshao. Earthquake hits Steel-types like Steelix, Stakataka, and Metagross that resist both STAB moves. Life Orb is preferred, but Heavy-Duty Boots does grant Aerodactyl Stealth Rock immunity and lacks Life Orb's recoil, which makes setting up easier. An Adamant nature lets Aerodactyl hit harder, while a Jolly nature lets it outspeed Noivern by default. Unnerve prevents threats like Cobalion from using their Shuca Berry and eating up an Earthquake.

Bulky Water-types like Milotic, Suicune, and Seismitoad eat up Aerodactyl's moves and check it, so teammates like Zarude, Roserade, and Toxtricity are appreciated. Zarude serves as a Scald switch-in that can heal itself with Jungle Healing while pivoting out on a Togekiss switch-in for Aerodactyl. Roserade provides Spikes support to wear down said Water-types as well as a super effective STAB Leaf Storm. Despite Earthquake being able to hit them, Steel-types like Doublade, Steelix, and Registeel can be problematic. Teammates like Incineroar, Milotic, and Heracross handle them with minimal fuss. A partner like Obstagoon or Choice Specs Gardevoir can wear down Steel-types to put them in OHKO range of Aerodactyl's attacks. Teammates like Zygarde-10%, Dhelmise, and Registeel that appreciate Aerodactyl pressuring threats like Noivern, Chandelure, and Fighting-types work as partners. Dhelmise is notable because it provides Rapid Spin support for Aerodactyl using Life Orb. Other notable entry hazard control teammates include Starmie and Volcanion to check threats like Rhyperior.

[SET COMMENTS]

Aerodactyl's natural Speed and Attack stats also make it a decent choice for an anti-offense Pokemon, outspeeding common threats like Noivern, Raikou, and Zygarde-10%. Earthquake guarantees OHKOs on Electric-types like Xurkitree and Toxtricity while guaranteeing 2HKOs on Steel-types like Metagross and Stakataka. Roost gives Aerodactyl reliable recovery to make up for Life Orb recoil and potential Stealth Rock chip if it's not carrying Heavy-Duty Boots. Teammates like Galarian Weezing and Volcanion can provide Defog support while also checking threats like Choice Scarf Mienshao and bulkier Steel-types, respectively. Dhelmise, Roserade, and Xurkitree can deal with bulky Water-types like Milotic, Suicune, and Seismitoad that give Aerodactyl a hard time. Dhelmise provides Rapid Spin support, while Roserade provides Spikes support to further wear down Aerodactyl's checks. Teammates like Zarude and Cobalion that can bring in Aerodactyl safely to beat Togekiss and Chandelure, respectively, are appreciated. Choice Scarf users like Xurkitree, Darmanitan, and the aforementioned Mienshao OHKO Aerodactyl. Therefore, teammates like Assault Vest Reuniclus, Milotic, and Galarian Weezing are useful to check these threats.

[SET COMMENTS]

Dragon Dance, combined with its already decent Attack stat, allows Aerodactyl to function as a dangerous setup sweeper. One boost from Dragon Dance lets Aerodactyl OHKO many threats like Zarude and Zygarde-10%. (mention how it's basically impossible to outspeed after a boost) Earthquake hits Steel-types like Steelix, Stakataka, and Metagross that resist both STAB moves, while also guaranteeing OHKOs on Xurkitree and Toxtricity. Life Orb is preferred over Heavy-Duty Boots for the extra attacking power, but Heavy-Duty Boots does grant Aerodactyl Stealth Rock immunity.

Bulky Water-types like Milotic, Suicune, and Seismitoad eat up Aerodactyl's moves and either restore lost HP or use it for utility purposes. Therefore, teammates like Zarude, Roserade, and Toxtricity are appreciated. Zarude serves as a Scald switch-in and can heal it with Jungle Healing. (also brings in Togekiss for aero) Roserade does the same and provides Spikes support to wear down said checks, while Toxtricity either wears down these Water-types to put them in range of one of Aerodactyl's attacks or just OHKOes them. (all these die in one hit rofl, reword) (Also add a section about teammates to FORCE damage onto said steels) Despite being able to hit them, Steel-types like Doublade, Steelix, and Registeel can be problematic. Because of this, teammates like Incineroar, Milotic, and Heracross handle them with minimal fuss. Having partners like Assault Vest Reuniclus, Galarian Weezing, and the aforementioned Milotic can come in on Choice Scarf users like Xurkitree, Mienshao, and Darmanitan that outspeed and OHKO Aerodactyl with their STAB or coverage moves. (Not overly important considering one DD means these scarfers just lose) (section about some teammates appreciating aero pressuring some offensive mons like vern chandy and stuff, synergy a two way road babyyyy) (mention how LO variants like having hazard control)

Also we’re gonna add another set here

Dragon Dance allows Aerodactyl to function as a dangerous setup sweeper. One boost from Dragon Dance lets Aerodactyl OHKO many threats like Zarude and Zygarde-10% while being impossible to outspeed at the same time. (minor, better to just say it’s faster than most scarfers, “impossible” isn’t true since ditto is a thing) Earthquake hits Steel-types like Steelix, Stakataka, and Metagross that resist both STAB moves, while also guaranteeing OHKOs on Xurkitree and Toxtricity. Life Orb is preferred over Heavy-Duty Boots for the extra attacking power, but Heavy-Duty Boots does grant Aerodactyl Stealth Rock immunity. (benefits in no recoil and easier set up)

Bulky Water-types like Milotic, Suicune, and Seismitoad eat up Aerodactyl's moves and either restore lost HP or use it for utility purposes. Therefore, teammates like Zarude, Roserade, and Toxtricity are appreciated. Zarude serves as a Scald switch-in and can heal it with Jungle Healing while luring in Togekiss for Aerodactyl. Roserade does the same and (rose doesn’t do the “lure togekiss” part) provides Spikes support to wear down said checks, (as this point the “said checks” get a little lost, specify waters while Toxtricity OHKOs said Water-types. (on second thought if this is all you have to say about tox then you don’t need it) A partner like Obstagoon or Choice Specs Gardevoir wear down Steel-types to put them in range of Earthquake. (move this to the “here,” also read over this sentence again it don’t sound right) Despite being able to hit them, Steel-types like Doublade, Steelix, and Registeel can be problematic. Because of this, teammates like Incineroar, Milotic, and Heracross handle them with minimal fuss. here Teammates like Zygarde-10%, Galarian Weezing, and Registeel that appreciate Aerodactyl pressuring threats like Noivern, Chandelure, and Fighting-types work as partners. Galarian Weezing is notable since it provides Defog support for Aerodactyl using Life Orb. Other notable hazard control teammates include Starmie, Dhelmise, and Volcanion to check threats like Rhyperior.

Aerodactyl's natural Speed and Attack stat make it a decent choice for a wallbreaker (I’d hesitate to really call it a wallbreaker, it’s more of a good anti-offense mon) in RU, outspeeding common threats like Noivern, Raikou, and Zygarde-10%. Earthquake guarantees OHKOs on Electric-types like Xurkitree and Toxtricity while guaranteeing 2HKOs on Steel-types like Metagross and Stakataka. Roost gives Aerodactyl reliable recovery to make up for Life Orb recoil and potential Stealth Rock chip if it's not carrying Heavy-Duty Boots. Teammates like Galarian Weezing and Volcanion can provide Defog support while also checking threats like Choice Scarf Mienshao and bulkier Steel-types, respectively. Dhelmise, Roserade, and Xurkitree can deal with bulky Water-types like Milotic, Suicune, and Seismitoad that give Aerodactyl a hard time. Dhelmise provides Rapid Spin support, while Roserade provides Spikes support to further wear down Aerodactyl's checks, and Xurkitree either OHKOs said Water-types or puts them in range of Aerodactyl's attacks. (if you want to add anything about xurk, mention some ideal mons that it baits in with volt switch, otherwise no need) Teammates like Zarude and Cobalion that can bring in Aerodactyl safely to beat Togekiss and Chandelure, respectively, are appreciated. Choice Scarf users like Xurkitree, Darmanitan, and the aforementioned Mienshao OHKO Aerodactyl via STAB or coverage moves. Therefore, teammates like Assault Vest Reuniclus, Milotic, and Galarian Weezing check these threats.

Earthquake hits Steel-types like Steelix, Stakataka, and Metagross that resist both STAB moves, while also guaranteeing OHKOs on Xurkitree and Toxtricity These don't take Stone Edge anyways. Life Orb is preferred over Heavy-Duty Boots for the extra attacking power, but Heavy-Duty Boots does grant Aerodactyl Stealth Rock immunity, no recoil that Life Orb has, and setting up is easier. Adamant is better for power, Jolly lets you outspeed Noivern at +0. Sentence on unnerve blocking Shuca Berry

Galarian Weezing is notable since it provides Defog support for Aerodactyl using Life Orb This seems like such a random pairing, Aerodactyl is more of an offense mon while Galarian Weezing fits on balances. Replace it with like Dhelmise. Other notable hazard control teammates include Starmie, Dhelmise, and Volcanion to check threats like Rhyperior.
