What it does
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.
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.

Where it came from
Released in September 2001, the Neo Revelation expansion served as the third installment in the Neo series for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, adapting the Johto region's aesthetic for players worldwide. This set was notable for introducing the concept of Shining Pokémon, which featured unique holographic patterns and distinct coloring, and it marked the final major set managed by Wizards of the Coast before the franchise shifted internal management. Aerodactyl, positioned as card 15/64, fits into the broader themes of the Neo era, which focused on the mysterious and ancient history of the Pokémon world.
The card artwork captures Aerodactyl in a dynamic, aggressive stance consistent with the artistic direction of the Neo series, which often emphasized vibrant, painterly illustrations. Designed to evoke the prehistoric origins of the species, the artwork was created to distinguish the card from previous iterations by utilizing the refined card layouts adopted during the Neo block. While this card is recognized by collectors as a staple of the Neo Revelation rare tier, its reception was primarily driven by its utility in competitive play and its role in completing the full set during the early 2000s.
