Mega Aerodactyl was the first Mega Pokemon introduced to the game that directly supported Rock-type Pokemon. While it has no Flying-type moves, which is unfortunate, it's still a very welcome addition to any trainer's arsenal thanks to the valuable offensive coverage of Rock typing, even though it is outclassed by Mega Tyranitar and Mega Diancie nowadays.

Iron Head
  • Rock Throw is Mega Aerodactyl's only STAB option, which makes it the best. 
  • Steel Wing is slightly better than Bite; but neither should be used and are worth using Fast TMs for. 
  • Rock Slide is Mega Aerodactyl’s best charge move. Ancient Power performs a bit worse on offense. 
  • Steel Wing can be paired with Iron Head, but it's better to use a Steel-type attacker instead. However, it's not great in this role.
  • Hyper Beam is a weak pick, lacking any relevant coverage.
  • Earth Power in an odd choice since it lacks STAB.
