Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Ability: Prehistoric Memory
Whenever an Evolved Pokémon attacks (even if it's your opponent's), it can use any attack from its Basic Pokémon card or any Evolution card attached to it. It still has to pay for that attack's Energy cost. This power stops working while Aerodactyl is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Attack: Fly (30)
Flip a coin. If heads, during your opponent's next turn, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Aerodactyl. If tails, this attack does nothing (not even damage).
A vicious Pokémon from the distant past, it appears to have flown by spreading its wings and gliding.
