Mega Camerupt Moves
Moves List
The level-up pool is slim, so TMs matter here. Mega 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.

The level-up pool tells the story here. Mega Camerupt learns Eruption and Earth Power naturally, plus enough variety that TMs feel like bonuses. Rock and Normal coverage and more extends the reach beyond that.

Mega Camerupt Weakness
Mega 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, Mega Camerupt can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Water |
| 2x (Weak) | Ground |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Poison, Bug, Steel, Fairy |
