Yeah can't blame anyone for that one. I don't believe any trainer uses the fossils (Which you could forget about by the time you get to Cinnabar) and the only trainer that uses Aerodactyl is Lance. So it wouldn't be too surprising for people to not figure out Rock is neutral to Electric when you get swarmed with Rock/Ground types.

And even if you knew Aero gets hurt by electric, you could assume "Oh, flying overrides the electric immunity?" because let's be real we believed a lot of dumb shit as kids (Mash A to survive attacks!). Sudowoodo would finally put any confusion to rest.

Speaking of confusion, shout out to Wooper. I'm sure many people were surprised when their electric move failed against it.
