Yeah I take her everywhere. When I need prime meat or chitin I just use her to massacre dead island (700%+ melee damage really helps with this). If you wish to do the same just be really mindful of stamina when fighting raptors cuz they can force dismount you if your pteranodon stays on the ground.
If you want a pteranodon, please don’t use something insanely fancy or expensive. Is you use a longneck rifle for example and tranq darts on anything under level 25 chances that’s it’s gonna die first or second hit are higher than you might expect. Please just use a bow and tranq arrows. /\ so newbies see this =)
These guys are extremely underated in combat.Just make dodo kibble(mobile) or feed them prime meat. Pick high levels one and breed them. I have my terrorist level 460 Pteranodon Imprinted 100%(I'm playing on hard mode mobile).If you do the flip thing it will deal 1K2 damage and you could take on any dino on Ark since the Attack is so fast as it move so you will never take any damage when played right.
Combine that with the spyglass bug on mobile will have you unbeatable. Just do the barrel roll attack and use spyglass in the middle of that. The damage could be multiply by 20+ times if you got a really good snap point to roll. Just abuse it and kill like 4 títan and Giga every time they spawned then you will find yourself +40 levels in just a week
My first tame was an argy on mobile and easy difficulty. But pteras are awesome, they're super fast and can outrun even alpha rexes. As first flyer in hard o extremely hard difficulty they are super easy to tame, just need to Bola and use one or two tranq arrows with an ascendant bow which is easily obtainable through gifts and supply drops.
YOU NEED NARCOTICS OR BERRIES to keep them asleep. They are weak and can't carry much weight, but they're super fast and high levels are easy to tame and have very good stamina. best dinos to travel long distances at higher levels
