There are other viable moves, but they're just worse. Return could be used for extra coverage. I don't think Facade will be useful because there are few defensive Pokemon in Uranium - most Pokemon are offensive and thus capable of one-shotting Harptera, so it's unlikely Harptera will get inflicted by Status. Aerial Ace is very weak - accuracy and evasion modifications are nearly nonexistent in competitive play and therefore Aerial Ace has almost no utility, especially because Choice Band Aerial Ace is still quite a bit weaker than no-item Acrobatics. Roost isn't good because Harptera is so frail and it has a poor defensive typing. Again, most things in this game OHKO Harptera so Roost is pointless. It's the same reason why running Recover on Alakazam is pointless - it's not like Alakazam or Harptera are really tanking any attacks. If a Pokemon is so weak that Harptera can Roost on it and not lose in the long run, then that Pokemon is completely unviable competitively.
