Camerupt: Amnesia or Explosion
 
Hi

The following moveset is an idea for a Camperupt that I will be working on soon:

Camerupt with Choice Band or Focus Band
Adamant 252 Attack 252 Speed 6 Special Defense

Rock Slide
Earthquake
Overheat

For the last slot, I am deciding on either Amnesia (to help withstand 1 water attack) or Explosion (simply because of the fact that an exploding camel is amusing to me). Which one should I take?

I'd go with explosion. By the time you get enough amnesia's up you'll probably be flushed with lots of water attacks to OK your Camerupt due to x4 weakness.

Simple, have Amnesia and stay AWAY from Water types!

Camerupt doesn't have any defensive stats high enough to tank. Better go with explosion.

Choice Band may not be a very good choice. It makes you have to switch right after using Overheat, since you would never want to stay using Overheat over and over.

Choice band works well on fast monsters so they can go in, get their OHKO, and then leave. Poor Camerupt has to take a beating before attacking, so when the opponent switches to a type that's resistant to the move you used, Camerupt becomes almost as worthless as Slaking.

Stay away from water types? They are the most populated type around!!! I'd like to see how he can stay away from them :dead: .

Simple really, I'm guessing this is for an in-game team, if you come across a Sailor, Fisherman or Swimmer, DON'T SEND CAMERUPT OUT!

why not jsut sunny day/ ittl help over heat, reduce water types attack, and if u have ne other fire/grass types itll help, or at least fire/grass type moves.

Sunny Day isn't bad if your team can benefit from it, such as having chlorophyllers or solarbeam users. If not, then quick claw + explosion >>; Even withs unny day activated, Surf is still a OHKO against Camerupt... x4 / 2 = x2... so surf is still double damage.
