Strategy Overview

Camerupt finds a firm niche courtesy of its auspicious defensive profile and solid movepool, which includes Stealth Rock and Roar. Its typing is thoroughly unique, boasting immunities to Electric and burn as well as neutrality to Grass and Ice. This makes it a solid check to Electric-types like Eelektross, Rotom-S, and Electabuzz, notably being able to block Rotom-F's Volt Switch, avoid a 2HKO from Blizzard, and threaten it back. However, Camerupt's typing is a double-edged sword, as it is hindered by two very common weaknesses in Ground and Water. Therefore, Camerupt often has trouble thwarting opposing Stealth Rock users. Camerupt has awful Speed, which, in tandem with its merely average bulk and lack of reliable recovery, leaves it quite vulnerable to being overwhelmed and often forced out.
