What is a pteranodon used for? pteranodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Upgrade their stamina and weight a LOT. This flyer is worth it, upgrade his health and melee dmg enough and it can take out raptors on its own (my lvl24 pteranodon killed a lvl20 raptor and succeeded with half of his HP). These lovely birds are easily encumbered by the weight you're carrying so it's preferent if you use lighter armor and leave a few items in the storage so that it's not slow.
I suggest taming a lvl 120 cuz they are really op and when tamed they are lvl 180 and they can carry decent weight and 1k stamina I tamed one and I named her Aurora and we killed 4 brontos and two spino together and tamed a lvl 95 therizino and she was the best *she's still alive btw
Use a Pteranodon in the Wyvern cave in rag to get Wyvern eggs. Pteranodons are fast and if you put enough points on health, you’ll be able to survive at least one blast from a Wyvern. Just remember that you can’t unlock the saddle until level 38!

Essential early game tame, but they're extremely squishy and years of nerfs have curbed their usefulness. I normally only deploy pteranadons in emergencies, to quickly retrieve a body and/or tame. They have their pvp applications too of course, but the pteranadon is largely just an early stepping stone on your way to bigger and better fliers. Set your sights for the argentavis next.
I just discovered my new favorite sport.
Step 1: Tame a pteranodon
Step 2: Pump all levels into movement speed
Step 3: Craft crossbow and grappling hooks
Step 4: Grapple to pteranodon

Enjoy the ride as you are whipped in all directions, and occasionally hit your target!

(For sky-high, vertigo-inducing fun, whistle to attack a Dimorphodon or another PT! Enjoy the view as you spiral upwards!)
