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. Solid Rock reduces SE moves damage, further improving the defensive spread.

|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Water |
| 2x (Weak) | Ground |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Poison, Bug, Steel, Fairy |

Camerupt Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Camerupt works as an attacker with 460 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. Fire Blast with Sitrus Berry is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, yes. Mega Camerupt is the evolved form, sitting at 560 BST. Big power spike over base Camerupt (460). 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 40 Speed, Camerupt won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Magma Armor prevents freezing. That's the one you want on Camerupt. Anger Point is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Solid Rock works too if your team needs something different.
Camerupt is a special attacker with base 105 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 40 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the attacker 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.
