Let’s face it: Lava Plume (and I guess Eruption) is Camerupt’s Signature Move. Its design screams Lava Plume. Combining a Camel with a Volcano for its humps was such a creative design choice. Camerupt is such an underrated Pokémon, especially since Groudon went Primal and copied the Cool Kid’s Unique Typing. Also, Mega Camerupt’s design is great, especially with the Lava Flowing out of the hump and the Magma Symbol on it’s forehead. It’s Mega is one of my most used ones in Pokémon Shuffle, if that counts for anything. The Pokémon embodiment of Captain Magma is easily one of my favorite Hoenn Pokémon. PS: I’d like to point out that Camerupt’s video is longer than Mewtwo and The Weather Trio. Let that sink in
And do you know what would be funnier ? In a world in which Torterra is available in Hoenn (Inclement Emerald), you can make a ground-type trio with it (Fire/Grass/Water stuff) without sharing any weakness.
Probably because most people play pokemon on switch mode, which is really boring because it gives you a huge advantage when you can just switch in a pokemon that easily beats the other for free. Also competitive and in-game are very different; Bisharp can easily sweep teams in every generation since it got introduced, but in-game playthrough it’s not a threat at all.
@@OrangeyChocolate Agree. Set mode is pretty much the *only* way to play. Switch is straight up cheating imo. Being able to not only freely switch but also see what Pokemon the opponent will use is just too much.
When I was younger I just liked Camerupt because it was in my own words, “big lava cow” and it still is one of my favorites, real shame he’s not in sword and shield
In that case it wouldn't have the same nuclear power but it should be able to take a hit with its boosted defense and then strike...do you think the decrease in power would be a good trade off
Camerupt could be a better drought user then ninetales but torkoal would still outclass it because of phys def bulk n no 4x weak to water even tho sun is up still does a lot.
6:17 Pokemon Battle Revolution did one major thing correctly that the 3D main series Pokemon game didn't. Hydro Pump ACTUALLY coming out of Blastoise's cannons.
And Wailord being XBox Heug And pokemon actually having animations with charm and personality. Still remember that trailer that had environmental damage, though.
One of my favorites! In ORAS I trained a Mega Camerupt with Hidden Power (ice), Earth Power, Nature Power, Ancient Power, and nicknamed it Powerrupt. I just liked having all Power moves 😅
my bad about the streaming cart also there is info missing, Mike and I took the team for Costa Mesa off of a Japanese website after Dallas. idr the page though, maybe he does
Honestly, Croagunk was better. Eviolite was so good for Croagunk in gen 3, that Smogon banned it for so long that it felt like Croagunk and Eviolite didn't exist in gen 3.
I mean if it had better defenses it could legit be a much better pokemon, I mean it would not be that broken if they gave it a buff of like 30 to each, It's already gimmicky and it's mega is no longer a thing as it seems.
I remember watching the Viability Thread and Metagame Discussion threads Gen 7 and it was impressive that both Mega Camerupt *and* Mega Aggron were ranked and used effectively that Gen.
Funnily enough, I heard that Numel managed to find a small niche in AG as a Klefki counter. It's Fire/Ground typing resisted both of its STABs. The other factor was Own Tempo, which made it immune to Swagger, which meant Klefki's infamous Swagger/Thunder Wave combo did nothing to it.
Me: Poor, poor Camerupt, too slow to do anything... FSG: "Camerupt was a major OU threat in Gen 3" Me: 👁️👄👁️ -I know it's an overused format. I don't care.-
Gotta say, I was unprepared for how reasonably okish Camerupt actually was. I figured an x4 water weakness and an earthquake weakness, combined with horrible speed and medicore bulk would have sunk it completely, but I guess its typing provides it enough opportunities to be all right sometimes. Nature power with tapus is a really interesting strategy I've never considered before, I wonder how many other pokemon get beneficial coverage from that strategy. Can't be too many.
This was such an interesting video. Camerupt has been through so many tiers over the years. It’s like we could never figure out if the mega was either really good or really bad.
Mr. Mime-Galar/Mr. Rime, naturally, are not good because they are Ice type. Both are PU as of now. I liked the reduced Pokémon set because only a small Pokémon set will make Ice types viable, as shown by UU Avalugg in the beginning.
I once battled a Mega-Camerupt user in ORAS VGC. It was paired with a Storm Drain Maractus with Sunny Day and Heliping Hand. Best thing about that is my opponent read me like a book! Props to them, wherever they are
Today on the *Lickitung Show* we rate Camerupt's lickability. Camerupt tastes somewhat spicy and dry. Its fur often has some sand on it, so it's recommended to clean your tongue with water after licking it. Camerupt may also spew lava, which can severily burn your tongue. Lickability rating: 2/10 "Lick at your own risk" The Lickitung show is a weekly show that will run until Lickitung is featured on this channel. See you all next week!
All mega pokemon gain +100 base stats upon mega evolution, Camerupt doesn't have any real speed in the first place, and it works pretty well with trick room, so the -speed of Mega Camerupt actually works in its favor :).
I gotta admit, I didn't expect a Camerupt video to be 29 minutes. What an awesome showing for the oft-underestimated camel, I kinda wanna use them myself, now.
How GOOD was Primal Groudon ACTUALLY? In short, Mega Camerupt is Primal Groudon... if you take away so much of what makes Primal Groudon good. Can't vaporize water moves, doesn't power-up on the switch, very slow, lack of precipace blades, takes up the mega slot, etc. however it still has power to spare, good stabs, and can still usually take a hit or two. too bad the downsides are far too hindering to make it a consistent pokemon in the higher tiers, but at least it has use somewhere including VGC. I've always liked Camerupt, despite the fact that I haven't yet used it in a playthrough. the fire ground typing has glaring flaws, but it's a good typing in certain aspects. it gets eruption which is always nice, however it's much harder to use on a slow pokemon like Camerupt compared to pokemon like Typhlosion which is more likely to get the crucial outspeed. but at the same time it's still plenty powerful on a playthrough team. I still have a soft spot for the pokemon, ever since I encountered it in Stark Mountain for the first time (I played gen 4 first). I cannot say the same for gen 2's Magcargo, which has many parallels to Camerupt but is so much worse in almost every single way.

An actual decent Pokémon this time. Though it was really only good with its Mega on hard TR teams. I also love how you told the story of Mike’s Costa Mesa Regionals run lol
make a vid about the history of normal type moves (or a different type of moves) and how chances of moves or new moves influenced competitve pokemon. like how follow me chanced vgc and how body slam wasn’t that good anymore after gen 1 and a lot of pokemon swapped body slam out for return. that would be very interesting.
If Camerupt does return to Gen 8, it most likely be put in the lower-tiers, but it could have a niesh in OU. As for if it get used in Gen 8 VGC, it would most likely be used as a Dinamax on Trick Room teams with the ability Solid Rock holding a Weakness Policy and would mainly spam Max Quake.

camerupt: if im going to hell, im taking you with me
It was fun while it lasted with Camerupt erupting in popularity.
I'm sure it'll have its moment again soon, where it can have a hot streak once again.

"You're weak, frail, and slow. Your competitors outmatch you. Why should I choose you over them?"
Camerupt: *SKIBIDIBOP MMMDADA*
An actual decent Pokémon this time. Though it was really only good with its Mega on hard TR teams. I also love how you told the story of Mike’s Costa Mesa Regionals run lol
I have been waiting for this forever
I’m shocked that camerupt was so useful in gen 3! Even as an uncompetitive kid, my first impressions was “slow and dies to surf and EQ”
Swampert: switches in Camerupt: “Call an ambulance!” *uses explosion* Camerupt: “but not for me”
For this case you call an ambulance for the both of you
One of the two shiny Pokémon I ever ran into while playing was a numel, who ran after breaking out of a quick ball. F
My first was a mawile that i ran out of pokeballs trying to catch.
Congrats on 300K
make a vid about the history of normal type moves (or a different type of moves) and how chances of moves or new moves influenced competitve pokemon. like how follow me chanced vgc and how body slam wasn’t that good anymore after gen 1 and a lot of pokemon swapped body slam out for return. that would be very interesting.
Holy cow your channel really blew up ! I remember when you would only get 10k views
I would boost Camerupt and Sharpedo Attack and Special Attack by 10 points. I will increase Sharpedo's Speed by 10 and Camerupt's Hp by 10
Camerupt: *sees bulky Water Type enter the field*
Also Camerupt: Do you want to explode?
"No unfortunately here!"
FINALLY
Seeing this Makes me remember how good my Shiny Camerupt was in Pokémon Emerald
Ayee I wouldn’t say not to do it
If you didn’t pick Torchic it not a bad choice
Well camerupt caused an explosion in the competitive scene!
If Camerupt does return to Gen 8, it most likely be put in the lower-tiers, but it could have a niesh in OU. As for if it get used in Gen 8 VGC, it would most likely be used as a Dinamax on Trick Room teams with the ability Solid Rock holding a Weakness Policy and would mainly spam Max Quake.

And I agree
Sweet, 2 vids in a single day, one on status and the regular "HGW?A".
I’ve always loved the volcano camel. Did you know that camels eat cactus?
Asking how good is wailord for the 8th week in a row. So I'll ask, How Good was wailord Actually?
We did discount groudon, it's time for discount kyogre!
it has a tiny niche in adv ou and then falls off from there
@@ajifiblu4905 to be honest I just want my favorite pokemon to be shown some light and since camerupt was this week at would be cool if wailord was next week
community tab
@@UltimateMonsterJam80 always do I vote every week it's just kinda a thing I'm doing
one of the few pokemon that was entirely viable in tiers above it's own, and not even in gimmicky nieches, and it's even one of my favs? amazing.
