The Pokemon GO Adventure Week 2019 event is live, giving players the chance to add some of the rarer rock-type Pokemon to their collection. This includes the elusive fossil Pokemon Aerodactyl, which is necessary for Pokemon GO players to complete the Meltan Special Research quest.

While some Pokemon GO players may have already completed the Meltan Special Research quest, those who only play the game in the summer will likely still have its last page of quests to complete. Luckily, Adventure Week makes completing the last page of the Meltan Special Research in Pokemon GO significantly easier, as it makes it easy to catch Pokemon like Aerodactyl.

Here is how to catch Aerodactyl easy during Pokemon GO Adventure Week 2019 to complete Meltan Special Research.

Pokemon GO: How to Catch Aerodactyl Easy for Meltan Special Research

Adventure Week, which lasts until June 11 at 1pm PT, has changed the Pokemon appearing in raids. During Adventure Week, Aerodactyl can be found in raids as a tier-3 raid boss, meaning that it can be defeated solo by many Pokemon GO players. Easily defeated with two trainers or more, here are the best Pokemon to use when fighting Aerodactyl in Pokemon GO raids:

  • Metagross - Bullet Punch/Meteor Mash
  • Rampardos - Smack Down/Rock Slide
  • Kyogre - Waterfall/Hydro Pump

Adventure Week 2019 Field Research

Another way to encounter Aerodactyl during Adventure Week 2019 is by completing the correct Field Research task. Adventure Week Field Research is the most reliable way to catch Aerodactyl in Pokemon GO, as players are guaranteed to catch the Aerodactyl they encounter through research. Aerodactyl encountered in a raid has the chance of running away.

The limited-time Adventure Week 2019 Field Research that Pokemon GO players looking for Aerodactyl will want to get is the Catch 5 Omanyte or Kabuto task. If the reward for this task is a Pokemon encounter, the Pokemon that appears will be Aerodactyl every time. Plus, this task will also help players complete other parts of the Meltan Special Research quest, as the last page also requires them to catch two Omanyte or Kabuto.

Pokemon GO is out now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
