[UPDATE: The methods below are currently outdated. Here are new methods for catching Aerodactyl and other Fossil Pokemon updated for May 2019. Original story follows.]

Unfortunately, Pokemon GO players stuck on the Meltan Special Research quest can’t take advantage of the increased spawns seen during the Let’s Go event last year. But those players do have a little luck, as Niantic has seen fit to include several of the required Pokemon, including rare fossil Pokemon like Aerodactyl, as rewards in January’s Field Research quests.

This means that players who manage to find the particular task and complete it have a 100% chance of catching the Pokemon when it appears. Finding these tasks with an encounter reward is much easier than hoping to find the appropriate spawn, but Pokemon GO players will want to make sure they keep an eye out for the following quests.

Research Task (Reward)

• Win a Level 3 or higher Raid (Omanyte)
• Catch 10 Ice-type Pokemon (Kabuto)
• Make 3 Great Throws (Lileep OR Anorith)
• Catch 7 Flying-, Psychic-, or Dark-type Pokemon (Anorith)
• Evolve a Pokemon Using an Item (Aerodactyl)
• Win 5 Raid Battles (Aerodactyl)

Furthermore, there are also quests that help with other aspects of the Meltan Special Research quest, including the Catch 5 Steel-type Pokemon, Catch 5 Electric-type Pokemon, Evolve a Magnemite, Evolve a Drowzee, Catch 5 Exeggcutes, and the Catch Cubone steps of the aforementioned special research.

Research Task (Reward)

• Catch 5 Fighting-type Pokemon (Magnemite)
• Make 5 Nice Throws (Voltorb)
• Use a Super Effective Charged Attack in 7 Gym Battles (Electabuzz)
• Trade a Pokemon (Manectric)
• Hatch an Egg (Exeggcutes)
• Battle in a Raid (Drowzee)
• Use 5 Razz Berries to Help Catch Pokemon (Cubone)

Hopefully, players can track down the above steps they need to finally add the mythical Pokemon Meltan to their roster, especially for those who are stuck on Step 8, which requires players to catch Aerodactyl and the other fossil Pokemon. Luckily, for those who are stuck on step 8, it is the final step before catching Meltan, meaning that they can almost consider this special research in the books.

Pokemon GO is available now in select regions for Android and iOS devices.
