From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
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 the Cameruptite.
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.
As Mega Camerupt, the humps on its back have transformed into one large and very active volcano. Magma is constantly bubbling up from within its body, and the volcano on its back erupts constantly in an effort to intimidate its foes. Its fur expands and grows to a point where only its hooves can be seen, and its ears and the tufts on its head grow thicker and longer, standing on end. It gains a grey M on the front of its face and loses the three blue rings on its body.

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, both of their final evolutions are used by Team Magma Leader Maxie and Team Aqua Leader Archie, respectively, and both of their final evolutions can Mega Evolve.
- Camerupt is the heaviest non-Legendary Fire-type Pokémon.
- Mega Camerupt has the highest base Special Attack stat of any non-Legendary Ground-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).
