Recommended Moves: ・ Rock Slide ・ Stone Edge ・ Dragon Claw ・ Ice Fang How to Get: ・Revive Old Amber at Pokemon Research Lab. Old Amber can be bought at Stone Emporium. Summary: Aerodactyl's dual-type combination of Rock and Flying already gives it an advantage against Rogue Mega Dragonite's Fire and Flying-type attacks. To add to that, Aerodactyl can also use different types of moves, such as Rock, Dragon, and Ice-type moves. |
Aerodactyl is a great counter against Rogue Mega Dragonite, mainly because it can tank its Flamethrower and Air Slash due to type matchups and can use multiple types of moves that are all super effective against the Rogue Mega.
Aerodactyl Location, Evolution, and Stats
Buy Old Amber at Stone Emporium and Revive it at Pokemon Research Lab
To obtain an Aerodactyl, you need to buy the Old Amber at the Stone Emporium, along Vernal Avenue, for 30,000 P.
Then, revive it at the Pokemon Research Lab, on Laboratory 2F, after completing Side Mission 27, Restored from a Fossil. Note that you cannot revive Aerodactyl without completing the Side Mission first.
Get Aerodactylite at Quasartico Inc.
The Aerodactylite can be bought at Quasartico Inc. for 240 Mega Shards. This can be used to Mega Evolve your very own Aerodactyl.
Recommended Move Rotation
| Stone Edge → Dragon Claw → Rock Slide → Ice Fang → Stone Edge |
Use Stone Edge first, since it has the longest cooldown amongst all the moves. Then, follow it up with Dragon Claw, Rock Slide, and Ice Fang, in that order.
Aerodactyl and Mega Aerodactyl have a high base Speed and Attack, which means they can use powerful Physical attacks against the mid-level base Defense of Rogue Mega Dragonite.

Recommended Moves: ・ Iron Defense ・ Iron Tail ・ Ice Punch ・ Dragon Claw How to Get: ・Evolve from Aron, which is found at Wild Zone 14. ・An Aggron and Alpha Aggron can be caught at Wild Zone 20. Summary: Aggron's high base Defense and type matchup advantage make it a formidable counter Pokemon against Rogue Mega Dragonite. |
Aggron's main counter against Rogue Mega Dragonite is its ability to tank all of its attacks, with little to no damage. Furthermore, similar to Aerodactyl, it can use a wide variety of different types of attacks.
Aggron Location, Evolution, and Stats
Get Aggronite at Quasartico Inc.
The Aggronite can be bought at Quasartico Inc. for 360 Mega Shards. This can be used to Mega Evolve your very own Aggron.
Recommended Move Rotation
| Iron Tail → Iron Defense → Dragon Claw → Ice Punch → Iron Tail |
Since Aggron acts more like a tank in this type matchup, Iron Tail can be used immediately since it has the longest cooldown. Then, reinforce Aggron with Iron Defense.
Follow it up with either Dragon Claw and Ice Punch; these two are interchangeable since they have similar cooldowns.
How to Beat Rogue Mega Dragonite
| Rogue Mega Dragonite Battle Tips |
|---|
|
|
Roll Over for Air Slash and Flamethrower
| Rogue Mega Dragonite Attacks | |
|---|---|
| Air Slash |
Flamethrower |
Rogue Mega Dragonite's common attacks are Air Slash and Flamethrower. These attacks can be easily dodged by rolling over to the side, since both of the attacks follow a straight line when launched towards the target.
Step Back from Outrage
Outrage is Rogue Mega Dragonite's short-distance move. Once you get too close to it, it will use this move more frequently. To dodge it, you need to step back from it to avoid it.
Keep Running From Hurricane and Lightning
Its charge mode is when it summons a huge hurricane that follows you around at a slow pace, along with random lightning strikes to the ground.
The easiest way to dodge all of the attacks going around the battlefield is to retreat your Pokemon and keep running away from the hurricane while looking for bright spots on the ground where the lightning will strike.
Interrupt When Its Glowing Yellow
You need to interrupt Rogue Mega Dragonite with super effective attacks when it's glowing yellow or gold and charging up power. Successfully stopping Dragonite will leave it stunned for a moment.
If not properly interrupted, it will launch a powerful beam to the ground and ignites a Nova Blast that will leave your character at very low health.
