How to unlock Aerodactyl in PokeBonk
Aerodactyl joins your League in two steps. First, finish its League challenge; the counters add up across runs unless a goal says "in a single run":
- Have 35 members in your League.
- Win the Rocky Desert.
Catching Aerodactyl
Then Aerodactyl can show up as a Wild Encounter in your next runs, 50 to 120 seconds into a zone. It runs away after 150 seconds, so weaken it and throw a Poke Ball before then. The PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists every challenge.
Aerodactyl moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thunder Fang | Electric | Physical | Strike | Start | 21 | 0.85 s |
| 2 | Dual Wingbeat | Flying | Physical | Burst | Level 2 | 10 | 0.98 s |
| 3 | Iron Head | Steel | Physical | Charge | Level 4 | 27 | 2.12 s |
| 4 | Dragon Ascent | Flying | Physical | Meteor | Level 7 | 76 | 4 s |
Aerodactyl passive: Prehistoric Wings
+15% speed and +1 jump; you glide by holding Jump. While airborne, your attacks deal +25% damage.
Dual Wingbeat and Dragon Ascent match Aerodactyl's type, so they deal 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Aerodactyl Ultimate in PokeBonk
Aerodactyl's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aerodactyl | Prehistoric Dive | 2.6 s | You soar high and dive down with a wave of ancient rocks; with Maturity, three dives and a flock of Aerodactyl. |
Aerodactyl stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aerodactyl | 0 | 112 | 7.2 | 1.1x | 1.06x | 0.96x | 1x |

Where Aerodactyl appears as a boss
Besides being playable, Aerodactyl is listed as a boss on the maps: Rocky Desert as a possible zone 3 guardian. Boss HP is budgeted from your own damage per second, so the fight length stays close to the game's targets; the PokeBonk maps page lists every boss slot.
