Moves
========

• Stealth Rock is a necessity on teams and Camerupt is a decent user of it thanks to its ability to switch into common Pokemon, particularly Zebstrika and Electrode.
• Camerupt's dual STAB gives it great coverage. Fire Blast is the preferred STAB move as it lets Camerupt hit hard without Special Attack investment, but if a more accurate STAB move that can burn is desired, Lava Plume is an option. However, the move is quite weak.
• Protect is very helpful as it helps Camerupt gain more Leftovers recovery and lets it scout for Choice sets from Pokemon such as Floatzel and Simipour. However, Toxic is a viable alternative as it lets Camerupt damage bulkier Pokemon such as Audino that lack Heal Bell.

Set Details
========

• Leftovers is very important for Camerupt as it lacks a recovery move.
• Solid Rock isn't too useful as most super effective hits OHKO Camerupt regardless, but it is still helpful to take moves such as Stunfisk's Earth Power better.
• The given EV spread makes up for Camerupt's disappointing defensive stats and makes it decently bulky on the Special side.
