            Evolution Line

Aerodactyl is a Rock Flying Fossil Pokemon that was first introduced in the first generation. Aerodactyl first appeared in the anime in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokemon, were it scares the other fossil Pokemon that were chasing Ash and Team Rocket. Aerodactyl has some other major and minor apperacnes in the anime but this one is the one I thought was the most major.

I prefer this set over the others just because it makes Aerodactyl a great lead, you can taunt first turn to stop hazards and then proceed to go for your own hazards in the form of stealth rocks. Or you could go for the kill on the first turn and gain an early lead. I don't run max speed on my Aerodactyl ,because he doesn't need it so I figured HP would be better. Not only can  Aerodactyl hit like a truck, it can also shut down walls and get up stealth rocks. I my opinion I think Aerodactyl should be at least UU but I guess smogon knows what they are doing.

Don't forget to tell me who you think should be the next pokemon of the week on Twitter.

Garchomp is a dragon ground type Pokemon that was first introduced in the 4th gen games diamond, pearl , and platinum. Garchomp's most major appearances in the anime are top down training as Cynthia's Garchomp and the opening of Arceus and the jewel of light were he is battling a Milotic. Garchomp also has some minor appearances in the anime like in one team, two team, red team, blue team! were Garchomp is the first leg of the Triathlon. Garchomp is also in the opening scene of Zoroark: Master of illusions.

- Stealth Rock

- Earthquake

- Fire Blast

I like this set the best because not only can Garchomp be a heavy hitter on your team he can also set up stealth rocks. Setting up stealth rocks isn't that hard either for garchomp since he tends to force quite a few of switches or at least that what I have learned from my battles. If you plan to run this set or any other set I would recommend pairing it up with a Pokemon to counter or check ice shard user such as mamoswine and wevile.

Don't forget to vote for the next Pokemon of the week, which will be next Sunday. Thanks for reading.
