Camerupt Weakness
Camerupt's Fire/Ground typing leaves it vulnerable to Water and Ground. Water hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It shrugs off Electric-type attacks completely. The Fire/Ground typing picks up 5 resistances to work with. With 70 HP and balanced defenses, Camerupt can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Camerupt Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon 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. Fire Blast with Sitrus Berry is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.
