Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Camerupt's spread. It leans mixed with Sp. Atk out front. And you'll get 2 Attack and Sp. Atk EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It has volcanoes on its back. If magma builds up in its body, it shudders, then erupts violently.

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.

Camerupt Guide
In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Camerupt works as an attacker with 460 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl's meta. Earthpower with Choice Specs is the standard set.
Mega Evolution isn't available in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, but Camerupt does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Camerupt hits 560 BST.
In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, 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.
