Moves List
The level-up pool is slim, so TMs matter here. Camerupt's Normal and Rock coverage and more all comes from technical machines, built on top of Overheat and Flare Blitz for same-type damage. Earth Power and Take Down are the payoff moves.

Camerupt Legends: Z-A Guide
In the Legends: Z-A meta, Camerupt already has 560 BST going for it, and Sheer Force pushes the competitive value even higher. B-Tier wallbreaker on our tier list. Earthpower with Leftovers is the standard set.
Mega Evolution isn't available in Legends: Z-A, but Camerupt does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Camerupt hits 660 BST.
In Legends: Z-A, watch for Milotic (Water) and Swampert (Ground) when using Camerupt. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Milotic is the most dangerous since Water moves deal 4x damage. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. At base 20 Speed, Camerupt won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Camerupt gets Sheer Force. But Sheer Force is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that. On wall sets, Sheer Force pairs with Camerupt's base 100 Defense to absorb physical hits on the switch.
Camerupt is a mixed attacker with base 120 Attack and 145 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 20 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the wallbreaker role.
Game Availability
Available since Ruby & Sapphire, Camerupt appears in 15 games spanning 8 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Mega form in Generation 6.
