**To use Camerupt effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Fire/Ground type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Camerupt appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Camerupt fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Anger Point, Choice Scarf and Jolly 0/32/6/0/0/28. Its frequent moves include Earth Power, Protect, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Stomping Tantrum, and Heat Wave. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Camerupt has important weaknesses to water 4x, ground 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Farigiraf, Whimsicott, Tauros-Paldea-Aqua, Pinsir-Mega, and Garganacl appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
