Base Stats
Camerupt has a volcano inside its body. Magma of 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit courses through its body. Occasionally, the humps on this Pokémon’s back erupt, spewing the superheated magma.
The humps on Camerupt’s back are formed by a transformation of its bones. They sometimes blast out molten magma. This Pokémon apparently erupts often when it is enraged.
Camerupt Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire 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.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, yes. Mega Camerupt is the evolved form, sitting at 660 BST. Big power spike over base Camerupt (560). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 special attacker with base 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.
