[SET COMMENTS]
By virtue of its great coverage as well as its sky-high Attack and Speed, Mega Aerodactyl finds a great spot on Flying teams as a late-game cleaner. Earthquake pairs well with Stone Edge, threatening the likes of Heatran and Hisuian Goodra and OHKOing Tapu Koko after Stealth Rock damage. Ice Fang is a great coverage option against Ground- and Dragon-types such as Landorus and Garchomp. Dual Wingbeat breaks through Fighting- and Grass-types such as Kommo-o, Mega Gallade, and Ogerpon-W. Pursuit allows Mega Aerodactyl to take advantage of foes like Victini and Latias that are forced out due to being Choice-locked into an undesirable move, and it punishes Gholdengo if it switches out expecting Earthquake. Stealth Rock aids both Mega Aerodactyl and its teammates in their wallbreaking or sweeping, while Taunt shuts down passive Pokemon such as Toxapex and Clodsire. Mantine and Corviknight are essential teammates, as they remove Stealth Rock with Defog so that Mega Aerodactyl finds more opportunities to switch in; they also provide a defensive backbone to shield Mega Aerodactyl from Water- and Ice-types like Mega Swampert and Choice Scarf Weavile. In return, Mega Aerodactyl deals with Fire- and Electric-types that the two of them hate like Volcarona, Zapdos, and Zeraora. Moltres is helpful in dealing with Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn. Landorus and Gliscor both set up entry hazards to aid Mega Aerodactyl in its cleaning when it's not running Stealth Rock; the two of them also act as stallbreakers, provide an Electric immunity, and bust through Toxapex. Despite its great Speed tier, Mega Aerodactyl is outsped by Kommo-o and Hisuian Lilligant at +1 and by Choice Scarf users such as Nihilego, making Choice Scarf Enamorus a great teammate that is able to revenge kill these threats. Special wallbreakers like Zapdos, Tornadus-T, and Thundurus-T deal with physically defensive walls like Celesteela, Slowbro, and Ferrothorn, which would otherwise wall Mega Aerodactyl; they can also pivot Mega Aerodactyl in against specially defensive walls like Galarian Slowking and Hisuian Goodra.

By virtue of its great coverage, as well as its sky high attack Attack and Speed, Mega Aerodactyl finds a great spot on Flying teams as a lategame cleaner. Stone Edge is great STAB that threatens a multitude of threats like both Mega Charizard formes, Kyurem, Zapdos, and Crobat. Earthquake pairs well with Stone Edge, threatening the likes of Garganacl, Heatran, and Hisuian Goodra. Ice Fang is great coverage against Ground- and Dragon-types such as Landorus, Garchomp, Gliscor, and Mega Altaria. Pursuit allows Mega Aerodactyl to take advantage of foes being forced out due to being Choice-locked into an undesirable move. (also mention it being able to punish gholdengo switching out of eq and choice scarf victini at -1 after vcreate) Dual Wingbeat breaks through Fighting- and Grass-types such as Great Tusk Kommo-o (better ex cuz dwb does nothing to tusk anw and komm is a big threat to non enam flying), Mega Gallade, and Mega Venusaur. Stealth Rock aids both Mega Aerodactyl's and its teammates by wearing down foes to aid in their wallbreaking or sweeping. Dragon Dance can also be used to boost Mega Aerodactyl's sweeping, and the Speed boost allows it to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame, as well as some boosted threats like Iron Valiant, +1 Volcarona, and Roaring Moon. add about Taunt instead Corviknight is an essential teammate for Mega Aerodactyl, as it removes Stealth Rock with Defog so that Mega Aerodactyl finds more opportunities to switch in. It along with Celesteela are great physical walls that can deal with Mega Scizor and Choice Scarf Weavile. In return, Mega Aerodactyl deals with Fire- and Electric- types that the two of them hate like Volcarona, Zapdos, and Zeraora. Landorus and Gliscor both set up hazards to aid it in its cleaning when it's not running Stealth Rock. Mega Aerodactyl deals with slower Ice-types such as Alolan Ninetales and Articuno. When it is not running Dragon Dance, Mega Aerodactyl struggles with Choice Scarf users like Iron Valiant and Gholdengo. Hence, teammates that can deal with them such as Enamorus for the former and Galarian Moltres for the latter pair well with it. just reword this to be w/o dd Despite Mega Aerodactyl's coverage, it doesn't nail walls such as Corviknight, Celesteela, and Ferrothorn. Zapdos and Thundurus deals with the three of them, and it they can also pivot Mega Aerodactyl in with Volt Switch. Lastly, Mega Aerodactyl can serve as a wallbreaker and enable other sweepers like the aforementioned Galarian Moltres and Dragonite.

notes i couldnt fit in text:
add mantine as it is the most consistent check vs rain water
add Fire Fang as an option ONLY in text to catch msciz/ferro off guard

Stone Edge is great STAB that threatens a multitude of threats like both Mega Charizard formes, Kyurem, Zapdos, and Tornadus-T Crobat. Earthquake pairs well with Stone Edge, threatening the likes of Garganacl, Heatran, and Hisuian Goodra (notably, its strong enough to OHKO Tapu Koko after SR). Ice Fang is great coverage against Ground- and Dragon-types such as Landorus, Gliscor, and Garchomp, and Mega Altaria (DWB does almost as much). Pursuit allows Mega Aerodactyl to take advantage of foes like Victini and Latias being forced out due to being Choice-locked into an undesirable move; and it punishes Gholdengo switching out expecting Earthquake and Victini after it uses V-Create. Dual Wingbeat breaks through Fighting- and Grass-types such as Kommo-o, Mega Gallade, and Mega Lopunny (very important since the type gets TA/CC'ed to death. DWB also breaks sashes, letting you potentially just kill Ceruledge/Galantulas) Mega Venusaur (swap these sentences). Stealth Rock aids both Mega Aerodactyl's and its teammates by wearing down foes to aid in their wallbreaking or sweeping. Taunt shuts down passive Pokemon such as Toxapex and Clodsire, as well as potentially hinder recovery attempts from the likes of Mega Venusaur and Dragonite. Mantine and Corviknight are essential teammates for Mega Aerodactyl, as they remove Stealth Rock with Defog so that Mega Aerodactyl finds more opportunities to switch in, and these also provide a defensive backbone to shield Mega Aerodactyl from Water and Ice types like Mega Swampert and Choice Scarf Weavile. Mantine's Water-typing also gives Flying teams a way to deal with rain teams. The aforementioned Corviknight along with Celesteela are great physical walls that can deal with Mega Scizor and Choice Scarf Weavile. In return, Mega Aerodactyl deals with Fire- and Electric- types that the two of them hate like Volcarona, Zapdos, and Zeraora. Moltres and Articuno make for great partners, as they help Mega Aerodactyl in matchups it struggles with. Moltres is helpful in the Steel and Fire matchup, dealing with Mega Scizor, Ferrothorn, and Volcarona, while Articuno covers the Ice matchup (articuno covers the Icebeam matchup, checking Kyu and Gren. Also put this at the end, after Special wallbreakers...). In return, Mega Aerodactyl deals with threats to them like Hisuian Arcanine and non-Choice Scarf Nihilego. Landorus and Gliscor both set up hazards to aid it in its cleaning when it's not running Stealth Rock (both also stallbreak and bust through pexy which is annoying for Aero, and both are electric immunes). Mega Aerodactyl deals with slower Ice-types such as Alolan Ninetales and Articuno. Despite its great speed tier, Mega Aerodactyl still struggles with Choice Scarf users like Iron Valiant and Gholdengo (rarely choiced here). Hence, teammates that can deal with them such as Enamorus (enam is unfort slower) for the former and Galarian Moltres for the latter pair well with it. Despite its great speedtier, Mega Aerodactyl is outsped by Kommo-o and Hisuian Lilligant at +1 and Choice Scarf users such as Nihilego, making Choice Scarf Enamorus a great team mate that is able to revenge-kill these threats (or word this sentence whichever you like). Special Wallbreakers like Zapdos, Tornadus-T, and Thundurus-T which deal with Physically Defensive walls like Celesteela, Slowbro, and Ferrothorn which wall it also make for great team mates, and these can also pivot Mega Aerodactyl in against specially defensive walls like Galarian Slowking and Hisuian Goodra. Despite Mega Aerodactyl's coverage, it doesn't nail walls such as Corviknight, Celesteela, and Ferrothorn. Zapdos and Thundurus deal with the three of them, and they can also pivot Mega Aerodactyl in with Volt Switch. Lastly, Mega Aerodactyl can serve as a wallbreaker and enable other sweepers like the aforementioned Galarian Moltres and Dragonite. Fire Fang is a niche option it can use to catch Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn off guard, but the small amount of targets Fire Fang specifically targets doesn't make it worth running.
(add a short snippet about DD over SR, the main issue being its still not really that strong and setting it up is hard ;w;)

Implemented, tysm! GP Team welcome back to ndm!

 

[Mateeus]

shorten things a bit:
-> edge sentence is obvious stab, so you could remove it
-> moltres is a niche mon, so favor mentioning core partners here. same for cuno
-> dd is going to be a separate set in the future, so that mention should also be cut

qc 3/2

 

[sunny004]

Hello, this is a GP amcheck! I started this before Mateeus posted those changes, and I have permission to post this amcheck.
Those three changes seem relatively simple, so hopefully the rest of my check is helpful. :)
add (AC) = add comma (AH) = add hyphen
remove (RC) = remove comma (RH) = remove hyphen

Despite its great Speed tier, Mega Aerodactyl is outsped by Kommo-o and Hisuian Lilligant at +1 and by Choice Scarf users such as Nihilego, making Choice Scarf Enamorus a great teammate that is able to revenge-kill revenge kill these threats. Special Wallbreakers wallbreakers like Zapdos, Tornadus-T, and Thundurus-T which deal with Physically Defensive physically defensive walls like Celesteela, Slowbro, and Ferrothorn, (AC) which would otherwise wall Mega Aerodactyl; they which wall it also make for great team mates, and these can also pivot Mega Aerodactyl in against specially defensive walls like Galarian Slowking and Hisuian Goodra. Articuno covers the Ice Beam (is the matchup specifically for Ice Beam or just the Ice-type in general? if the latter, "the Ice Beam matchup" should be rephrased) matchup by checking Kyurem and Greninja. (this also needs to be cut based on qc) Dragon Dance could be run on in the fourth moveslot, but it Mega Aerodactyl has a hard time setting it up, and it doesn't really help in Mega Aerodactyl's when wallbreaking, notably failing to OHKO Toxapex after a boost. (qc said to cut)
