i used straight up suicide lead aerodactyl in the past, wasn't too bad, could warrant mention in oo or even deserve its own set "Defog is an option, though its not the best idea to run it on a SR weak mon." imo should say it's also not bulky enough, because mandibuzz and togekiss are effective defoggers in ou and zapdos is effective in uu despite all of them being sr weak, they're just more bulky and have better defensive typing. o yeah also aerodactyl prefers to run other moves so yeah. prob should mention why adamant as more merit than jolly, like how much harder it hits and the fact it still outspeeds a lot of stuff.
phys def sableye is solid vs aero, can switch-in, burn, recover stall etc, foul play does a lot too look ok otherwise approved
