Look for a higher rated one of you are looking to ride otherwise you will take forever to get its weight up to anything even remotely usable. Once upgraded theyre pretty quick in the air.
Pteranodon
The pteranodon is a fast and versatile flying mount useful for traveling and scouting, though not always the ideal choice for battle. Knocking a pteranodon out doesn't take much, but can still be a challenge since it will immediately flee after being attacked. Once knocked out, taming is quite easy in comparison to other creatures, and with its low saddle requirements, this makes it an especially popular creature for newer survivors while still being versatile enough for more experienced survivors. What the pteranodon lacks in stamina, weight, and health, it makes up with its speed.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Pteranodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
So I am only a beginner so have only just learnt this. But you can use your flying mounts to help you build taller structures. Takes patience to get it where you want, but in the end it’s worth it
Get lots of dodos to make kibble to tame.
To tame it you dont need raw prime meat you just need some narcotics and only feed it wants it’s torpor is at 20% it worked for me with a level 5
To tame:
Preparation- bring...
• At least 9 kibble for level 100 or less
• At least 20 tranq arrows
• 4 wooden spiked walls to surround the pteranodon with to keep
away predators (leave a small hole for you to crawl through)
• At least 20…

• At least 20 Narcotics
• At least 3 bolas (the two extras in case you miss)
To knock out-
• Immobilize with the bola
• Hit with a tranq arrow. Wait five seconds. Repeat until knocked
out.
To tame-
• DO NOT give all the kibble or narcs at once. If a larger predator, such as a T-Rex, comes along, it will kill the pteranodon and you will have to retreat. You will most likely lose the narcs and kibble if you give the pteranodon all of it at once. Instead starve tame. (The rest of this tip is how to starve tame)
To starve tame-
1. Knock the Dino out
2. Wait until the Dino is at 3/4 to 1/2 hunger
3. Give the Dino narcos if needed. Only give one at a time.
4. Feed Dino with preferred kibble.
5. Repeat.
To tame a pteranodon simply make a bola, hit it with the bola so it stays on the ground, knock it out then build walls and spikes around it and starve tame it so you get better taming effectiveness... if the pteranodon is low level there is really no point in starve taming…

If you are a beach bob and on a easy server TAME ONE AS SOON AS YOU CAN GET A BOLA because you can level it up with a lystro so when you get a saddle you will probably have the highest level pt on the game ( if your on single player).
Steps:
Use tranq arrows (1 if using crossbow)
Shoot it
Feed meat
Give 1 narcotic after topor goes down to like a 1/4
When you have this dino the only important stat for this dino is just stamina and weight
Putting prime meat in the pterandsn dackpack it will save it if you have ether meat in front of it
When you knock it out make sure to put spikes around it so no predators kill it then starve it and make sure to keep a eye on its torpor because it drains fast and if this is not helpful we’ll……..I don’t know
There is a glitch where they randomly walk foward when dismounted.
Idk how I did it but on mobile I always couldn't do the barrel roll..... Until I leveled my pteranodons speed up to 200 ( in mobile you can upgrade movement speed) and then I could do the barrel roll.... Idk if this is how you get the barrel roll move also if you want to…

Idk if this is how you get the barrel roll move also if you want to use it go to settings go to controls then click one of the little tabs and turn it to Secondary attack / reload and boom you can maybe use the move now
Mine killed a bunch of Spinos and Rexes, it even took on an Alpha Rex 😂 And we both survived, heck... My pteranodon is a mf beast but, it loves to put me in danger.
I spent ages trying to tame one and kept I bolad some but the tranq arrows killed them all. And then I stopped cos I realised I cud ride my pelagornis petal
These passive reptiles are nice but when you take its egg it becomes neutral and will attack the point is do not take these passive reptiles eggs!
Tip for fast and easy taming
Make sure you’re well rested
Or you walk with sleeping bag incase you see one
Sleep first before you knock out any dino
Then put your food in inventory for taming
Won’t take up to a minute 😌
Works for me
You can try too
For all y’all bobs out there, to barrel roll on mobile you go to settings and set left or right double tap to ALT ATTACK 1.
I’ve tried to tame one by knocking it out with my hands. Don’t try that. Know what, don’t try anything melee. Get a bow r something.
Level 5 Pteranodon takes 2 prime meat to tame if you use single player settings even if on 1x taming. Single player ups all multipliers.
