Camerupt
Camerupt is a tier 3 raid boss with a CP value of 15409. It is a dual Fire and Ground type, with weaknesses to Ground and a 4x weakness to Water. It can be caught with the following CP values:
- 1058 – 1253 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
- 1323 – 1566 CP at Level 25 with Sunny weather boost
Due to its devastating weakness to Water type attacks, Camerupt should be an easy solo for well prepared trainers. Otherwise we would recommend a minimum of two trainers for those with less than ideal counters.

Camerupt Movepool Analysis
| Fast Moves | Charge Moves |
|---|---|
|
|
The only move of note here is Solar Beam. This can easily take a chunk out of any Water counters you may be using, especially dual Water / Ground types such as Swampert. Gyarados makes for a great counter against any movesets, as it will resist everything except Solar Beam, which will be only neutral instead of Super-Effective.
Parting Words
While Camerupt will likely never be meta defining, it does have access to a Mega Evolution that is not yet available in Pokémon GO. It may therefore be worthwhile to hang on to one with good IV’s. Camerupt is a great option for lower level players looking to solo their first raid. Happy hunting!
