Strategy Overview

Camerupt stands out as a strong wallbreaker, able to break nearly every wall in PU regardless of its poor speed. Additionally, Camerupt's unique defensive typing makes it stand out as a premier switch-in to the Electric-types in PU. It also has access to Stealth Rock, can check numerous other threats with its unique typing, and hits hard even without investment. However, it is fairly frail even with defensive investment, weak to common Water- and Ground-type attackers, and extremely slow, making it easy to pressure offensively. It also faces competition from other Ground-types, most notably Stunfisk and Gabite, which are far bulkier; however, they lack Camerupt's neutrality to Ice, which allows Camerupt to take on Rotom-F far more easily.
