Camerupt (Pokmon) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokmon encyclopedia

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

It evolves from Numel starting at level 33.

Camerupt can Mega Evolve into Mega Camerupt using the Cameruptite.

Biology

Camerupt is a quadrupedal Pokémon that resembles a Bactrian camel. It has two gray volcanoes on its back, which are bigger on a female's back 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 fur-less muzzle.

Its body contains amounts of molten lava of 18,000 °F (10,000 °C), which Camerupt voluntarily erupts out of its humps if it is angered. Otherwise, its humps erupt automatically every ten years. As shown in the anime, it can become uncontrollably angry when it is struck in the face. It lives in the craters of volcanoes.

Forms

Camerupt can Mega Evolve into Mega Camerupt.

As Mega Camerupt, the humps on its back have transformed into one large and very active volcano. 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 gray M on the front of its face and loses the three blue rings on its body. Magma is constantly bubbling up from within its body. It has a deep hatred of water or any moisture, with an explosive personality, and a short temper. The volcano on its back erupts constantly in an effort to intimidate its foes.[1]

Trivia

• Camerupt's Pokédex entries for Emerald, HeartGold, and SoulSilver say that the volcanoes on its back erupt every 10 years. However, its Pokédex entries from Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen, and Alpha Sapphire, 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 family 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 evolved forms are used by Team Magma Leader Maxie and Team Aqua Leader Archie, respectively, and both of their final evolved forms can Mega Evolve.
• Camerupt is the only non-Rock-type Pokémon that can have the ability Solid Rock.
• Mega Camerupt is tied with Slugma, Torkoal, and Litwick for the lowest base Speed stat of all Fire-type Pokémon.

Origin

Camerupt resembles a Bactrian camel (camels with two humps) with volcanoes on its back instead of humps, though it has proportions closer to those of cattle, muskoxen, or yaks. The blue rings on the sides of Camerupt may be based on a carnival game of hitting the target, what enrages it and makes it erupt, as presented in the Historical Mystery Tour! episode of the Pokémon anime.

Mega Camerupt, in contrast, resembles a dromedary camel (which has only one hump). Mega Camerupt's "skirt" of fur resembles that of male wild yaks. The "M" on its forehead may represent Team Magma; the team leader, Maxie, uses a Mega Camerupt in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Name origin

Camerupt may be a combination of camel and erupt.

Bakuuda may be a combination of 爆発 bakuhatsu (eruption) and 駱駝 rakuda (camel). It may also involve Bactrian camel.
