DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

Camerupt and Swampert don’t share any weaknesses so you can have both ground types in your team without much redundancy, always been a bonus

[@rike971]

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.

@@rike971if only inclement emerald was actually good

[@smackjack78]

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

29 minutes for Camerupt? Ive literally never seen this thing attack since all I remember about it is dying in 1 hit to Surf

[@PauloAguil]

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]

paulorubiejane I play on Set mode for that very reason.

[@AsianRailgun]

@@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.

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.

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.

I'm a competitive FIRE player, and I must say.... Macargo can actually be pretty dangerous on the low.....🔥🔥 See 4 yourself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6u0fpKFoqmlpZI

How good was Banette actually, anyone? Definitly my favorite ghost typ

[@nomongosinthaworld]

Banette honestly has a goat design

[@jeffreyjohnson5539]

I've only really ever dabbled in competitive pokemon and rarely play it (if you dont count pokemon go battle league), but I love these vids. They are interesting and make for nice background listening too

[@machadragonii145]

You I was struggling to we're to a Camrpute or a Ninetales for next Emerald playthrough but this video has convince me to get a Camrpute thank you 😁

[@splitsee2526]

Even if it wasn't that great, it got a 30 minute episode. Also happy 300k!

[@Oreo-gl8kc]

Come on guys can we get a, How good was Torkoal actually

[@NipahAllDay]

While Torkoal was good in the newer gens, I don’t want to hear any Torkoal slander. 😞

[@GM.Nobody]

Sun teams with drought.

[@M3rtyville]

Drought always gets disappointing abusers compared to Drizzle and Sandstream. Charizard uses Sun only as it's own property.

[@ianbalkaran4451]

Yea do torkoal!

[@djaeson777]

Amen But I can give y'all the answer probably: sucks til Drought, ok/niche afterwards

[@gumerzambrano]

Holy cow your channel really blew up ! I remember when you would only get 10k views

HAPPY 300K FSG! only up from here

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

[@robertharris6092]

My first was a mawile that i ran out of pokeballs trying to catch.

[@jwanie366]

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

[@olivermayer4681]

Man I loved this Mega Evolution. That aesthetic!

*Meets an opponent that resists his stab* Camerupt: my job is to blow up, like I don’t know nothing

[@Desh2012]

This was longer than I expected but this just made me realize Fire Ground really needs more Pokémon to show how much potential it has.

I wait for these every week. They’re great!!! I just wish I was good at Comp Pokémon.

[@kingzerko]

His appearances sure were a blast

[@NanaKyoto]

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.

[@et34t34fdf]

"No unfortunately here". This is outrageous, its unfair, how can you start a false swipe gaming video and not say "unfortunately"?

I would love to see a How Good Was Meloetta video! She is my favorite mythical Pokémon, and I have a lot of great results with her!

[@fuschiawarrior2159]

Great vid.

[@Luna__137]

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.

[@Smart1529]

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

[@nathanielleack4842]

Yes! My favourite fire type. Always used it in 3rd gen playthroughs readily available and monstrous in singleplayer

[@petertaylor5424]

Seeing this Makes me remember how good my Shiny Camerupt was in Pokémon Emerald

[@petertaylor5424]

Ayee I wouldn’t say not to do it

[@petertaylor5424]

If you didn’t pick Torchic it not a bad choice

[@AtillaTheFun1337]

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”
