Aerodactyl doesn't exactly need tons of back up. Most of the time you out speed and get your rocks. Machamp you suicide and get rocks, infernape you suicide and get rocks, jirachi you might want to switch or try to rely on luck, and metagross you die and get rocks. I mean its a suicide lead, it will die a lot of the time (and not to mention all most of these you can save aero as death fodder.). Anyway, scarf heatran isn't exactly as good of a lead as you say.You know what stops rapid spin? GHOSTS. And don't even bring up starmie, it doesn't fit on every team. He's about your only good option anyway. If you start attacking most players they'll start setting up sr. The point is he requires PREDICTION and there is no skill predicting on turn 1. It's luck. If you predict right, congrats your lead succeded. If not it failed and chances are you were better off using something else. (Note, that applies to every lead out there, not much of a point.)
I know what scarf heatran loses to and what it doesn't. I pair it with rotom and skarmory and together there isn't a lead I can't handle. Most metagross, machamp, and hippowodon run, and if they kill me guess what, free spikes for skarm. But usually against machamp I go to rotom on the dp and skarm on the payback. Works every time. Alot of azelf and aero waste a turn taunting, or I can just 2hko azelf if I feel like it.
It's not more dangerous, because a speed tie anywhere else can cost you the game. An aero user needs a plan for machamp, metagross, opposing aero, jirachi, and possibly infernape if it wants to be succesful. By the time you check all those threats you have very few spots left for the sweepers you want to employ.

This isn't true because there are a lot of players and they all expect the Taunt. Using Taunt, SR and dying is Aerodactyl's most basic function (and kind of a waste of potential IMO) and even if players do this every single game (and they do!), he'll have done his job. Nobody bothers trying to set up against him anymore.If you start attacking most players theyll start setting up sr.
Losing Pokemon always costs you a game. Did you forget that this is a team of six? Also, the Pokemon you listed are just regular OU Pokemon. You're supposed to be filling up every slot in your team with a way to deal with them because they're everywhere, even outside of the lead position, and they will give you hell if you don't plan for them. Aerodactyl is completely inconsequential to all of them.Its not more dangerous, because a speed tie anywhere else can cost you the game.

Weavile is amazing are u serious i love weavile i could wreck ur whole team with a weavile watch this vidI still wonder how Electivire, Weavile and Ninjask were OU at the end of gen 4. None of them are any good for different reasons which I'm sure have been mentioned several times, so I won't do it again.
I'm definitely going to have to say Gyarados too. Sure it can DD, but it's a shit DDer. It's too slow and not quite powerful enough, and I'd rather use Dragonite every time. Its ResTalk set is pretty good but other than that it's fucking horrible.
Ninjask is horrible. Taunt+phazing screws it over completely.Ninjask is a sweet ass baton passer with a Focus Sash on, then you can use as death fodder after that
If I really wanted to use a BP team I would rather use Scizor who at least has decent bulk, isn't 4x fucking weak to SR, can actually hurt things, isn't fucking weak to SR, oh and did I mention IT'S NOT FUCKING SR WEAKhe doesnt have to be a lead lol you can destroy their taunter by the time he is used
Then you have to deal with the fact that he's SR weak, there's shit like CB Scizor Bullet Punch running around, and that teams with phazers just destroy you (for example, stall with hippo/gyara).he doesnt have to be a lead lol you can destroy their taunter by the time he is used

Seriously there is no reason to use Ninjask at all. It's horrible. Almost as funny as that time where I faced a noob on PO who thought CB Ninjask was good because it could OHKO Colbur Berry Azelf lol
i think he's just trying to prove the point of how horrendously terrible ninjask isFucking fucking FUCKING, fucking fucking? learn to type without cursing
I may love that little bug, but yeah, overrated. Perhaps not the most overrated, but still quite. Really it was more of a mind game with ninjask leading, as many opponents go for the greedy SR on the first turn thinking you'd switch for sure, so you can get off a +2 atk +1 spd boost against such people, and BP out next turn at full health, so you wouldn't be KO'd by priority. But it was still too much of a risk, and SR was the final straw.Ninjask is a sweet ass baton passer with a Focus Sash on, then you can use as death fodder after that
