Camerupt (Japanese: バクーダ Bakuuda) is a dual-type Fire/Ground Pokémon.

It evolves from Numel starting at level 33. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Camerupt using an unknown Mega Stone. As Mega Camerupt, all its stats increase excluding its Speed stat, which decreases.

Biology

Camerupt is a quadruped Pokémon that resembles a Bactrian camel. It has two gray volcanoes on its back. The two volcanoes on a female's back are bigger than those on a male. It also has a stout body with red shaggy fur and three blue ring-shaped markings on both sides. It has bangs on top of its head, droopy ears, and a tan furless muzzle

Its body contains amounts of molten lava of 18,000°F, which erupts out of its humps if the Pokémon is angered. As shown in the anime, it can become uncontrollably angry when it is struck in the face. It lives in the craters of volcanoes.

Trivia

• Camerupt's Pokédex entries for Emerald, HeartGold, and SoulSilver say that the volcanoes on its back erupt every 10 years. However, its entries from Sapphire, FireRed, and LeafGreen, as well as dialogue from the Mystery Dungeon series, claim that they erupt whenever it is angry, which is also shown in the anime.
• Camerupt's evolutionary line can be seen as a parallel to Sharpedo's family. Both of them are dual-type Pokémon, both lines have identical base stat totals per evolutionary stage, and both of their final evolutions are used by Team Magma Leader Maxie and Team Aqua Leader Archie, respectively.
• Camerupt is the heaviest non-legendary Fire-type Pokémon.

Origin

Camerupt is essentially a Bactrian camel with volcanoes on its back instead of humps.

Name origin

Camerupt is a combination of camel and erupt.

Bakuuda is a combination of 爆弾 bakudan (bomb) or 爆発 bakuhatsu (explosion or eruption) and 駱駝 rakuda (camel). Baku may also derive from Bactrian camels (camels with two humps).
