I just tamed a lvl 130 female on lost island, all I did was bola it, then shot it with tranq arrows until it fell asleep, fed it meat and Narcotics until it was tamed.
I was lvl 21
DO NOT let them run out of food. Was taming a lvl 110 on 96 percercent ran out of food are dropped to 45 percent.
Here’s how u tame em,they are really early tames that will be really useful,so right after u get the cooking pot you could get some female dodos which in turn give u eggs,those eggs could serve for making kibbles that the pteranodon needs,then just wait until one lands,bola it and then keep fisting it if u don’t use slingshots,feed it the kibbles and now u got a pteranodon
The river along the redwoods seems to hold the highest level of pteranodons due to the large spawn rate
knock it out after bola-ing it.
feed it nartic/bio toxin/narco berries. to feed narco berries with no hassle switch between meat and narco berries, and vola! you have good tame.
hit it with a bola and beat the crap out of it with your fists,
grab some meat and bio toxin then tame it.
How to tame! First lure jellyfish to land for free narcotics find a pteranodon and Bola it punch it until is knocked out then feed it meat if it's about to wake up give it the jellyfish narcotics that's how u tame a pteranoson!
Wait till the Pteranodon is super hungry then feed it prime meat
These guys are easy to tame and no doubt probs the first flyer you ever tamed and they are also one of the fastest dinos in ark.
I tamed more that 5 PTs and encounter more than 70 . Now I have a lv154 PT in medium difficulty.
I will give a suggestion I saw so many people posting that to tame a PT with a club and probably they tamed a low level PT not more than lv 20 or something. Unlock trank arrow then approach it bolla and hit with trank arrows. Don't tame a low level PT they can't even carry 50 arrows
If you are still a Bob, and this will be your first flight, do not use kibble you need jerky which is annoying and time consuming just used cooked or prime
You can use a bow to tame these guys make sure you have narcotics or bio toxins use tranq arrow to knock them down crossbow work the best aim for the eye tho and feed them meat prime meat prime fish meat or fish meat there saddle is unlock at level 38 make sure you have the saddle there you go you have yourself a airline
How to easily tame
1 get bola
2 bola pteranodon
3 feed meat (if you don’t use soothing balm, use narcotics to keep it asleep)
Use tranqs on pteranadons because they're torpor drops fast
Very easy to tame all I usually use is:
2 bolas (just in case you miss)
3-5 meat piles (about 50 atleast in each)
Bio toxin (98-200)
Narcotic (if you want)
———————————
Steps:
Find one!
Wait till it gets on the ground
Make sure (raptors/Rex/dilos) arent near it
Bola it!!
Give it meat and bio toxin or narcotics(50-100 atleast)
Then whenever it’s unconsciousness goes down just feed it bio toxins!
Up if this helps you!! <3
Many people say highlands on ragnarok is the best way to go but valguero is definitely underrated, way more ovis and pteranodon spawns then ragnarok. The edge between chalk cliffs and the starter spawns is the best place to go for sure.
Aim for the head

Ultimate mobile edition:
This works with every tame, but knock out your creature (ptero in this case), save game, go to main menu, log back into your game with the dinosaur food drain put up to about 30.0. Your creature will tame in seconds, and then once tamed, save game, go back to settings and put food drain back to normal.
You can also make your player 100% invulnerable, so it kinda feels like cheating…. I been running through the redwoods on a killing and taming spree since I’m invulnerable, I have ten second taming, don’t need narcs, I just knock everything out with my fists since I can’t die. It feels ridiculous. I killed a pack of allos, raptors and troodons all at the same time with a hatchet. They were all over level 70, too
