How to Get an Aridactal on Pokemon HeartGold

Aerodactyl is an ancient flying rock-type Pokemon that was first introduced in the original Red, Blue and Yellow Pokemon versions. It is a strong Pokemon with high attack power and speed, able to learn powerful moves such as Hyper Beam and Giga Impact. Although most Pokemon are able to be caught in the wild, Aerodactyl must be obtained by special means. In Pokemon HeartGold, players must find an Old Amber fossil in the Ruins of Alph and revive the fossil at the Pewter City museum in order to receive an Aerodactyl.
