Strategy Overview

  • With one of the lowest Speed stats at base 20, Mega Camerupt can play in Trick Room teams very well.

  • Its decent bulk allows Mega Camerupt to take on some strong neutral attacks such as Mega Kangaskhan's Double-Edge and Mega Salamence's Draco Meteor.

  • Mega Camerupt's high Special Attack and ability Sheer Force allow it to hit for large amounts of damage. Mega Camerupt can OHKO Mega Metagross and 2HKO Tapu Lele.

  • Mega Camerupt is checked by the very common Tapu Fini due to its 4x weakness to Water-type attacks and Tapu Fini's good special bulk. Mega Camerupt is also threatened by Landorus-T, which can OHKO it with Earthquake.

  • Mega Camerupt faces competition from Heatran even on full Trick Room teams and from Mega Charizard Y on semi-Trick Room teams, as they are also Fire-types that can spam Heat Wave. The former is particularly notable due to it not using a Mega slot.
