#13 Aerodactyl - Arceus (pl4)
Aerodactyl is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 80 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features the Unearth ability, allowing the player to search their deck for Helix Fossil, Dome Fossil, or Old Amber during their turn, provided Aerodactyl isn’t under a Special Condition. The card’s attack, Hyper Beam, costs two Colorless energy and deals 30 damage, with an additional effect to discard an Energy card from the defending Pokémon if a coin flip results in heads. Aerodactyl resists Fighting-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Lightning-type attacks, which deal 20 more damage. The Pokémon’s design reflects its evolutionary connection to prehistoric creatures, as noted in its flavor text. It was first released in the Arceus set, part of the Platinum series, with a rarity of Rare. The card’s artist is Masakazu Fukuda, and it was released on November 4, 2009.
