Aerodactyl Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Adamant or Jolly

Nature Stat Changes
Adamant ↑ Attack, ↓ SpAtk
Jolly ↑ Speed, ↓ SpAtk

Since Aerodactyl is a Fast Physical Attacker, its best Nature is either Adamant or Jolly to boost its Attack or Speed further, while reducing its Special Attack stat.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Lonely ↑ Attack, ↓ Defense
Naughty ↑ Attack, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Aerodactyl either Lonely or Naughty nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Aerodactyl any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Aerodactyl has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Aerodactyl Moveset for the Story

Move Type Cooldown
Stone Edge Pokemon Rock Type Icon 10
Ice Fang Pokemon Ice Type Icon 6
Rock Blast Pokemon Rock Type Icon 6
Wing Attack Pokemon Flying Type Icon 6

We recommend the moves Ice Fang, Stone Edge, Wing Attack, and Rock Blast when using Aerodactyl during the main story.
