Why cant Aerodactyl learn at least double edge?
why did they have to delete all of the powerful moves forAerodactylthat took advantage of it’sRock Headability? first, they tookDouble edgeaway in the DS series, and they didnt even bother to replace it with at least theHead Smashmove, which would have completely justified the ability. now, the only move taking any advantage in the move set isTake Down. it isn’t fair. I know the stats thatAerodactylsports would make a wicked sweeper with those moves and ability, but come on, they have so many other Pokemon that can effectively surviveAerodactyl’s attacks. it has very low defenses, one ice type attack is all you need, and the abilitysturdyand type advantage and high physical def. are common, and many people use them. so why? really, why?
I’m tired of waiting for pokebank. my ramshackleAerodactylin Y keeps getting thrashed online, despite every conceivable advantage I could come up with.Take Downdoesn’t cut it. I need my Ginkoi back, with theDouble EdgeI jumped through every single legal hoop to get. I don’t hack games… I went out of my way to play thoughLeaf Greento get the move and move it up toPlatinumthenwhite 2…. I’m sick of getting my rear end handed to me by theIce BeamwieldingAudinos that surviveTake Down, I really am…

Rock Head is a really good ability.Think about it for a second. High-Risk high-reward moves like Double Edge are supposed to do a lot of damage but also halt the user a little bit.
With Rock Head, all of the risk is taken out of the moves and you basically have a lot of damage with little to no risk.
Aerodactyl is already a beast.135 Attack and 150 Speed in its Mega Evolution is insane. It can easily sweep teams with great coverage moves in the Elemental Fangs and a slew of Fire Type moves to cover Ice and Steel types.
If Aerodactyl had moves that utilize that great attack with around 120 Base Power and no risk, it could sweep teams even more.
Game Freak wanted to nerf the power of Rock Head/Aerodactyl, so they took some of the recoil moves out of its movepool to help balance it.
